Centenarian shot putter wins gold

A 107-year-old Chinese woman was surprised when she suddenly discovered two new teeth in her mouth, Chinese media said on Thursday.

Jiao Zhenwa, a resident of Yichuan county in China's eastern Henan province, has been demonstrating her new teeth to curious friends, relatives and neighbours, the China Daily said.

Chinese dentists were also astonished by the incident and said it was a rare natural phenomenon.

According to official reports, there are more than 40,000 centenarians living in China.
