Betty Lindberg , 91 anos, quebrou o recorde mundial nos 800 metros, em Atlanta, no dia 24 de maio. A corredora estava na Universidade de Emory, onde foi inscrita em um evento para ganhar pontos em um grupo do qual é membro. Duas semanas antes, Betty já tinha participado da corrida de 200 metros.
Animada, decidiu arriscar-se também nos 800 metros. Ao terminar a prova, descobriu que seu tempo, de 6min57s56, foi não só o recorde americano, como também o recorde mundial para a faixa etária acima de 90 anos.
De acordo com o seu clube, Atlanta Track, Betty nem imaginou que quebraria o recorde. Seu objetivo era apenas terminar a corrida antes de as luzes do estádio serem apagadas.
O recorde mundial anterior era de 6min59s18, da mexicana Rosario Iglesias, em 2001, diferença inferior a dois segundos. Já o recorde norte-americano foi pulverizado: a marca anterior era de 9min26s00 e durava desde 2013, mas não resistiu à velocidade de Betty.
