NEVER TOO OLD
US, Short Documentary, 5 minutes, 2024
At one time, Libby James (now 87) held more running records than Flo-Jo and Usain Bolt combined, yet most likely you have never heard of her. She is considered the grandmother of women’s competitive running, despite not having started running until she was 35. Currently, she holds six American records and, in 2012, was the highest point graded runner in the world.
