Hannah Quinlivan’s Grandfather, 90, Wins 100m Sprint

How cool is that?

Hannah Quinlivan’s Grandfather, 90, Wins 100m Sprint

Is there an age limit for competitive sports?

The answer is no for Hannah Quinlivan’s grandfather, Laurence Quinlivan, who is the Secretary of the Australian Friends of Taiwan Association.

The 90-year-old recently participated in the 21st Evergreen International Athletics Championship held in Taipei, winning first place in the 100m sprint with an impressive 20.53secs.

Mandopop king and grandson-in-law Jay Chou posted a video to Instagram Stories showing Laurence struggling to sprint past his competitor towards the finish line as his song, ‘Dream', playing in the background.

Quite apt, considering the lyrics had Jay sing, “Come on, go, go, go, let the dream restart, different sweat flows with different dreams,”

According to the event website, the race also featured two other runners who are 85.

Other than the 100m sprint, Laurence also participated in the shot-put event — a sport for which he won many awards during his younger years.

In fact, Laurence joked that he had broken his personal record when he took part in shot put event last year.

Laurence Quinlivan refuses to take second place.

A Singapore construction site has reached 6 million accident-free man hours, marking a major safety milestone in one of the country’s highest-risk industries. Accident-free man hours refer to the total number of hours worked across all workers without a single injury, often used as a benchmark for workplace safety performance in construction projects. While such achievements are widely celebrated, Singapore’s construction sector continues to face challenges, with dozens of deaths and major injuries reported in 2025 alone. At the same time, improvements in worker welfare — including upgraded dormitories with better living conditions, recreational facilities, and shared spaces — are becoming a key part of the broader push towards safer worksites. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgnews #migrantworkers

Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong recently spoke in Parliament about the need for Singapore to conserve energy, suggesting measures such as using fans instead of air-conditioning and taking public transport where possible. While the message highlighted the importance of reducing electricity consumption, netizens online had mixed reactions, with many pointing out the challenges of cutting back on air-conditioning in Singapore’s hot and humid climate, with the haze being a recent issue. The discussion reflects the balance between sustainability efforts and everyday, often necessary, comforts in a tropical city. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #singapore #sgnews #sgviral
