About Erwin Jaskulski

Lived 1902 – 2006 (aged 103). Erwin Jaskulski was an Austrian athletics competitor.

Erwin Jaskulski (, September 24, 1902 – March 10, 2006) was a Ukrainian-American track athlete. Born in Chernivtsi, Russian Empire, he was a resident of Honolulu from 1954 until his death.

Biography For a period, Jaskulski was the world record holder for the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters in the 95- to 99-year-old and the 100-plus age groups. However, the record for 100 meter for 100 plus age group, which he set on November 16, 2002, at 36.19 seconds, was later broken by Philip Rabinowitz who finished in a time of 30.86 seconds. According to fitness guru and friend Gilad Janklowicz, Jaskulski was a fan of classical music and his philosophy was "to be happy and joyful in life."

In the February 2002 edition of the National Masters News magazine he was listed as an Austrian citizen living in Honolulu.

He never gave an interview in his life. Both Jay Leno and David Letterman asked him to be on their shows but he turned the idea down.

Jaskulski died on March 10, 2006, aged 103. He was survived by two sons living in Austria.
