Primer je poljski atletičar Stanislav Kovalski, koji je 2015. pretrčao 100 metara za 34,5 sekundi, dok je kuglu bacio 4,27metara. Oba rezultata su daleko od svetskih rekorda, ali priča dobija drugačiju notu ako kažemo da je Kovalski tada imao 105 godina. –Mojaosecanjapremafudbalui mojeaspiracijedaželimdaostvarim uspeh u fudbalu nisu se promenile od kada sampostao profesionalni igrač u Brazilu.

I to nije sve, ugovor sa klubom iz Saudijske Arabije je potpisaodo2030, kada će imati 45 godina. Kristijano ne krije da razmišlja o tome da igra na Svetskom prvenstvu 2026. u Kanadi, SAD i Meksiku. Fizički izgleda za desetku, a tako se i oseća i nema razloga da ga ne gledamo još dugo.

One example is Polish athlete Stanisław Kowalski, who in 2015 ran 100 metres in a time of 34.5 seconds and threw the shot put 4.27 metres. Both results are a long way from world records, but the story gains a different perspective when we note that Kowalski was 105 at the time. “My feelings towards soccer and my aspirations that I want to have success in soccer haven't changed since I became a professional player in Brazil in 1986. The passion has not changed either,” said 55-year-old Kazuyoshi Miura, the world’s oldest professional footballer. He played his first senior match in 1986, when Cristiano Ronaldo turned one.The Portuguese ace, who celebrated his 38th birthday on 5th February, is today a veteran himself. But age isn’t a problem for Ronaldo either, at least when it comes to becoming the highest paid sportsman – his two-and-a-half-year contract with Al-Nassr FC will see him receive half a billion euros!
