Corry Collins was 55 when she took up running 29 years on she s still setting Australian and world athletics records.
The now 84-year-old holds the 400m Australian record for women in her age group, but was recently talked into running an 800m relay by her friends to set a new world record. I took a bit of convincing; I was thinking that 800 metres was a bit long, she said.
