Dr Charles Eugster said on Facebook he was “over the moon” at breaking the record.
A 95-year-old dentist has smashed the world record over 200 metres.
Dr Charles Eugster set the new record at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre in north-east London at the weekend.
Eugster knocked 2.4 seconds off the previous record in the over-95 years old category with a time of 55.48 seconds.
A message from the Silver Grey Sports Club said Eugster had also broken the British record for 60m indoors the day before.
Last year he also set new age-group records for 100m and 200m outdoors.
