Misleading.. The record he broke is "for his age group", which isn't even specified in the article.


> A 95-year-old former dentist has set a new world record for his age group in the 200-meter indoor sprint, knocking a massive 2.4 seconds off the previous record…

It is in the first line of the article.


I believe the parent is referreing to the fact that the specific age range is not specified. Eg. is this 90-99 (my guess), 70+ or "exactly 95", etc.


A caption on the video says it's the over-95 age group.
