Sawang Janpram's everyday routine includes daily walks with his 70-year-old daughter, Siripan, and simple house chores like sweeping up fallen leaves in their garden.
It takes Thai athlete Sawang Janpram 27.08 seconds to run 100 metres. That's not bad, given he is 102 years old.
Sawang is known for being the oldest sprinter in the Southeast Asian country and has participated four times in the annual Thailand Master Athletes Championships, particularly in the 100-metre dash, javelin, and discus events.
Last weekend at the championship's 26th iteration, held in the southwestern Samut Songkhram province, he won all the gold medals in the 100-105 years category, as he has outlived all rivals in that age range.
"Getting into sports made me strong and well. As well as this, exercising helps improve your appetite, so you eat well too," Sawang said when asked about the secret to his longevity.
