101-year-old Fauja Singh, the world's oldest marathon runner of Indian-origin, retired from competitive events as a ‘very happy’ man as he finished his last race here today.
Singh, nicknamed the ‘Turbaned Tornado,’ finished the Hong Kong marathon's 10-kilometre race. ‘I'm very happy. When I was running I felt very good, but now that I've stopped, I'm tired,’ the India-born British said.
A torchbearer for the London 2012 Olympics, his one regret is not being able to speak and read English.
