A new extraordinary record in the world of athletics indoor in Padova. Emma Maria Mazzenga, at 90 years old, has set a record in the 200 meters flat in the W90 category. Emma was born in 1933 and managed to break the previous record of 1' 00" 72 that had stood for 13 years. Mazzenga finished the race in 54" 47, setting a new record, even more surprising considering her age.

Emma Maria Mazzenga returned after 4 months of stop and a last-minute recovery. The ninety-year-old athlete even improved the previous result of the Canadian Olga Koteko of 60" 72, set in 2010. A sensational result that establishes a new Italian record.
