"Turbaned Torpedo" Runs His Last Race

Fauja Singh, the world's oldest marathon runner, has just run his last race at the ripe old age of 101. Singh ran a 10k marathon in Hong Kong in 1 hour and 32 minutes. Fauja, a Sikh, is known for his saffron colored turban that he wears, hence the nickname; "The Turbaned Torpedo." Singh became the oldest man to run a marathon in 2011. He originally began running as a way to cope with his son's unfortunate demise (he was decapitated by a piece of scrap metal blowing in the wind).
"I am feeling a bit of happiness and a bit of sadness mixed together..." said Singh, before the race.
