Kane Tanaka, the world's oldest living person, will carry the Olympic torch for the Tokyo Games in May, 2021.
Tanaka, who celebrated her 118th birthday in January this year, will become the oldest person ever to carry the Olympic torch. She will take the torch as it passes through the town of Shime, in the prefecture of Fukuoka, where she has lived her entire life.
She even has a new pair of sneakers for the event — a birthday present from her family. Her relatives will push her in a wheelchair for most of the 100 meters, but she plans on walking the last few steps before handing the torch to the next bearer.
Tanaka was born January 2, 1903. She married a rice shop owner, Hideo Tanaka, when she was 19 years old, with whom she had four children. Tanaka worked in the family shop until she was 103. She now spends her time doing math puzzles and playing the board game Othello.
"It's great she reached that age and she can still keep up an active lifestyle," her grandson Eiji Tanaka, who's in his 60s, told CNN. "We want other people to see that and feel inspired, and not to think age is a barrier."
However, Tanaka has a few years to go before she is the oldest person ever. That record is held by Jeanne Louise Calment, a Frenchwoman who was 122 years old when she died in 1997.

🔥Summary
田中力子是全世界最老的人瑞，將於2021年5月的東京奧運中傳遞火炬。田中於今年一月慶祝她的118歲生日，將成為史上最年長傳遞奧運聖火的人。
她將在火炬經過福岡市志免町的時候傳遞它，福岡市志免町也是田中力子一輩子所居住的地方。
