Marathoner Fauja Singh had no birth certificate, as official birth records weren’t maintained in India in 1911. Despite this, his passport stated April 1, 1911, as his birthdate. The lack of documentation led Guinness World Records to reject his record as the oldest marathon finisher, even though he completed a marathon at age 100.
