Our nanas knit, bake pies and tell us to eat all our veggies. Great-grandmother Ruth Frith can't be bothered with that. The 100-year-old is too busy lifting weights and hurling shot puts.

Frith, of Brisbane, Australia, is the oldest competitor at the World Masters Games, which is like the Olympic Games except that it's open to people of all abilities. Earlier this month, Frith set an age-group record with a shot put throw of 13 feet, 4 inches.

Why We Love Her: Frith first started competing in the Masters when she was 74. To stay in top shape, she trains five days a week and bench presses 77-lb. weights. She also participates in hammer and javelin throwing.

Despite being so healthy and fit, Frith is a bit of a nutrition rebel -- she hates veggies.

"Don't eat vegetables, because I never eat vegetables. I know people that like diets that will scream at me, [but] don't eat vegetables. I never have," she said.

Frith holds the record for the 100-and-over shot putter category, but she's also the only competitor in that age group. Still, we hope that when we're old and gray, we'll be able to remember where we put our false teeth, let alone be able to launch a 9-lb. ball in the air.

Quote: Frith plans to compete in the next Masters Games in 2013 and says age ain't nothin' but a number: "I just think each year is another year. You just enjoy each day, and let the years go by."
