  "summary": "Senior Thai athlete Sawang Janpram, who is currently 106 years old, is among the more than 11,000 participants from 106 countries taking part in the World Masters Athletics Championships (WMAC) in Daegu, South Korea. Janpram, who began exercising at age 80 and entered his first sporting competition at 97, has won 78 medals to date. He is set to compete in the discus throw on Thursday and javelin throw on Saturday at the Daegu championships, alongside other male contestants aged 95 and older. Janpram's achievements demonstrate that age is indeed just a number in the world of sports, as he continues to excel in his athletic pursuits well into his centenarian years.",
