Summary: The world's most oldest person has died in Japan. He was aged 116 at that moment. Jiroemon Kimura, a former postman, died in hospital in his hometown of Kyotango, in western Japan, on Wednesday. He was recorded in Guinness World Record as the oldest living person. TV Asahi, Japanese television network said "His life was respectable; I would like to 'thank you' to him." He has worked for the post office until his retirement in 1962. Kimura had 7 children, 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great grandchildren. On his passing, now the oldest person living is Misao Okawa, a 115 year old woman from Osaka, Japan. 

Opinion: It is interesting that Japanese are living long. I'm sorry to hear that the oldest man just died yesterday. Many people will remember him. He has been doing good things until his death. He worked for the post office until his retirement, and he kept to carry out agricultural work until the age of 90.

Gatlin beats Olympic champion Bolt by 0.01 seconds in Rome

Summary: Usain Bolt, who won six-time Olympic champion, was beaten into second place by Justin Galtin in the 100 meters at the Diamond League's Rome meeting. Usain Bolt is a person who won three sprint gold medals in London games. But he lost this time by finishing 0.01 seconds behind. It was the first time Bolt appearing in the competition this season after the injury. 

Opinion: It is a great surprise that Usain Bolt lost. It is too bad that he had an injury. I think he didn't have enough time to cure his injury. He lost by finishing 0.01 seconds behind. It is too close! I think it would feel regrettable for him.
