99-year-old swimmer sets world record

A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have smashed a world record for his age group in the 50m freestyle.
George Corones clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland - a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category.
He eclipsed the previous mark, set in 2014, by 35 seconds.

It will now be verified by the sport's governing body.
Corones, who is eligible for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was "quite delighted" and "over the world" by the result.
