Claiming to be born in 1897, Dharam Pal Singh is still running marathons. He says meditation is his secret. But is he really 119?

Re: 119 year old? marathon runner Dharam Pal Singh
Probably not, he can't produce his birth certificate and an investigation revealed he's more likely in his 80s. But still an amazing feat of fitness.
The "marathon" that was shown at the end of that video was just 5 km, not even a half-marathon, but hey, he's at least in his 80s, so still very good.
The video was made two years ago, so had to see if he's still alive -- and he is.
