 Hidekichi Miyazaki celebrates after clocking 42.22 seconds to set a 100 metres world record in the over-105 age category in Kyoto, western Japan 
 
 A fleet-footed Japanese centenarian raced into the Guinness World Records reference book on Wednesday and declared himself a "medical marvel" as he continues to stalk sprint king Usain Bolt. Hidekichi Miyazaki, dubbed "Golden Bolt" after the fastest man on the planet, clocked 42.22 seconds in Kyoto to set a 100 metres world record in the over-105 age category -- one for which no mark previously existed -- a day after reaching the milestone age. "I started shedding tears during the race because I was going so slowly. "Today my target was 35 seconds," Hidekichi said after the race, according to Guinness. "The doctors gave me a medical examination a couple of days ago and I'm fit as a fiddle," he told AFP. video 
 
 He then went on to compete in the Asia Masters Athletics Championships in Kitakani, Japan last year at 104 years old, finishing in 34.61 seconds. He longs for the opportunity to challenge the legendary Jamaican sprinter (who holds the fastest 100 m record at 9.58 secs), and when asked about Bolt's recent successes at the Athletics World Championships, Miyazaki jokes: "He hasn't raced me yet!" The twinkle-toed Miyazaki, who holds the 100 metres world record for centenarians at 29.83 seconds, insisted there was still time for a dream race against the giant Jamaican. Miyazaki, who was born in 1910 -- the year Japan annexed Korea and when the Titanic was still being built -- only took up running in his early 90s and prepares for races by taking a sneaky catnap.
– A Japanese man, who calls himself a "medical marvel," set his third world record for being the oldest competitive sprinter yesterday—one day after turning 105, AFP reports. Hidekichi Miyazaki ran the 100-meter dash at the Kyoto Masters Athletics Autumn competition in 42.22 seconds, but he was shooting for 35, according to USA Today. "I started shedding tears during the race because I was going so slowly," he tells AFP. "Perhaps I'm getting old." Guinness World Records reports Miyazaki's feat is even more impressive because he only started running in his 90s after most of his board-game buddies passed away. In addition to being the world's oldest competitive sprinter, Miyazaki holds the world record for fastest 100-meter dash for runners over 100 with a time of 29.83 seconds, AFP reports. That's about 20 seconds more than it takes Jamaica's Usain Bolt, one of Miyazaki's idols. Miyazaki, who boasts the nickname "Golden Bolt," hopes to one day compete against the famous sprinter. And it might happen. He tells AFP he thinks he has two or three more years of running in him. "I'm fit as a fiddle," he says. "The doctors are amazed by me."
