Philip Rabinowitz Has Run His Last Race, the 104y

Scoring Update! The points change, death remains the same...

Cape Town's famous centenarian Philip Rabinowitz has died at the age of 104. Rabinowitz was known for his feats on the athletics front and held a number of records at the time of his death.

In 2004 Rabinowitz sprinted into the Guinness Book of World Records, when he broke the 100m record for centenarian sprinting in a time of 30.86 seconds at the Greenpoint stadium.

"He really hit the news when he broke the 100m and 200m, and he loved it. He loved the adoration of everyone," said his daughter Joyce Kruger. She said her father was proud of himself and that they were also proud of him.

Rabinowitz had been covered earlier this week by the Daily Mail. He told the paper:

"I've always walked or run everywhere because when I was young, there weren't any cars," he said.

He puts his fitness down to a healthy diet, an active mind and to not worrying.

"My motto in life is to do everything in moderation," he added.

He's Still Got It

It's tough to say what's worse here. That he got murdered or that he, well, umm y'know...

On to happier things...

Yesterday was somebody's birthday! Whose Birthday? Sprinter Philip Rabinowitz's Birthday. How Old Is He? 1,2,3,4... 104! And Never been Kissed By... Death

Philip Rabinowitz's name appears on "Live Like You Were Dying's" roster

• Rabinowitz finished the 100 meters in a time of 30.86 seconds becoming the fastest 100 year old in the 100 meters. A week before, the centenarian broke the record, but a faulty electronic timer kept the mark out of the books.
  

If you think about it, since he was 100, and the world record holder was set by a 24 year old at 9.74 seconds, Rabinowitz beats the world record in seconds/year.

... And Many More!
