A viral video recently surfaced showing 62-year-old Bill Collins reportedly running a 100-meter dash in 10.6 seconds.
Bill Collins is a former Olympic sprinter known for his exceptional speed and longevity in track and field. Competing primarily in the 1970s, he participated in the 1976 Summer Olympics, representing the United States in the 4×100 meter relay.
Over the years, Collins has become a celebrated figure in Masters Athletics, excelling in various sprint events long after his prime competition years.
Notably, he has set multiple records in the Masters category, including world records in the 60-64 and 65-69 age groups.
His continued performance into his 60s, such as his 100-meter dash in 10.6 seconds, showcases his remarkable endurance and training discipline over the decades.
While the video has garnered significant attention, some online forums have debated its accuracy, with concerns raised about the timing method used and the possibility of it being hand-timed, which can introduce inaccuracies.
The performance, if legitimate, would be an extraordinary feat, making headlines for its remarkable athleticism at such an age.
