Look at Irene Obera, for instance. Irene is 86 and holds numerous world records in 100m, 200m and 200m hurdles and was supposed to compete in the 2020 World Masters Championships.

Feeling inspired? Let’s do this!
► Warm-up
Run on the spot for 30 seconds. Swing your right leg forward and reach toward your toes with your opposite arm. Alternate between right and left for 30 seconds. Perform 30 seconds of bum kicks. Repeat all three exercises twice.
►Sets & reps
Perform each exercise for 40 seconds and rest for 20 seconds. Repeat the circuit three times. Aim to do the circuit three to four times per week.
►Cooldown
Start from your neck and work your way down to your legs with a full body stretch.
