Chandigarh: China has lost an opportunity to witness something inspirational by denying visa to the 101-year old sprinter Man Kaur, who wanted to compete at the Asian Masters Athletics Championships, says her son Gurdev Singh.

The Chandigarh-based Man Kaur and her 79-year-old son were to participate in some of the events at the Championship in Rugao but their visa application was rejected on the ground of not having a personal invitation from the organisers.

"Would it not have been an inspiration for the Chinese people to see a 101-year old woman running and taking part in sports competitions," Gurdev asked.

"We had attached a letter from the Masters Athletics Federation of India with our visa applications. But the visa was denied and we were told that personal invite was required," Singh said. Kaur won the 100 metres sprint at the World Masters Games in Auckland.
