    Hong Kong (CNS)-- Fauja Singh, who is 101 years old, announced his retirement after finishing a 10-kilometer race in one hour and 32 seconds Sunday in Hong Kong.

    The event, which attracted competitors from around the globe and was attended by about 72,000 people, was launched by Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.

    Believed to be the world's oldest runner, Singh took up marathons at the age of 89. He was a farmer in Punjab, India, before moving to London in the 1960s.
