Swimming World Cup in Doha: 100-year-old ex-professional Taghi Askari jumps off the board again. The Iranian made his comeback at the Swimming World Championships.
In 1951, Askari won a silver and a bronze medal at the first Asian Games in New Delhi, followed by national titles. He will still compete in the World Aquatics Masters Championships, a competition held shortly after the elite world championships for competitors over 25 years old. Not surprising as the oldest participant.
