What's Your Excuse (Part 3)

The IAAF has reported that Takashi Shimokawara, aged 104, the reigning world record holder in the over 100 year-old class in three different events (Shot Put, Discus and Javelin), died in the tsunami following the earthquakes in Japan.  Mr. Shimokawara took up track and field when in his nineties.  RIP

    So sad for him to die so young, before he was able to reach his potential...
