My Spanish is close to non-existent, but to paraphrase it says something along the lines of:


Watch the 60m final between two athletes of more than 90 years of age.

[something about being a good example to us all, and what an emotive contest this was between the two Nonagenarians] in the 60 metre dash in the final of the European Athletics Championships: The Finn Ilmari Koppinen, 95 years of age, against Belgian Emiel Pauwels, 94, who took the victory.

The European Veterans Athletics Championships in San Sebastian ran between March 19 to March 24. On the left, the Belgian Emiel Pauwels, 94. On the right, the Finnish Ilmari Koppinen, 95.

Ready, Set, Go!!!

The Finn takes advantage in the first meters and appears to be prevailing. However, the Belgian mid-career recovers and manages to cross the finish line first with his arms raised.

In reality, the two men both won, with the two solo contests of different categories of the 60 meter dash in the same race: Pauwels, of over 90 years, and Koppinen the age of 95.

The Belgian achieved a time of 17.70, while the Finn crossed the finish line with a time of 17.89.
