106 Year old Ilmari Koppinen, born in 1918, is still competing in Shot Put, and we should do something to celebrate that.
Title self-explanatory. I don't have any great ideas myself but I saw this guy and out of sheer joy to see someone that old competing I came here to say something has to be done. He lives in Finland and probably doesn't speak english.
I saw this man run a 90+ year old 100m in 2008 and was astounded to see he competing in shot put THIS YEAR!!Ilmari Koppinen @ 106!
