The best Jewish sprinter in the world

His name is Philip Rabinowitz -- and he just became the world's fastest 100-year-old, slashing more than five seconds off the record for the 100 meter sprint for centenarians. His time: 30.86 seconds.
This is his second attempt at setting the record, after the official timer broke during his attempt last week.
The most intensive part of his training takes place each week on a Saturday -- when he walks 13 km to shul.
Who said Jews weren't good at sports? Give this man a place in the Olympics!
