Yep, That’s Why on a statistic way, life expectancy at 118yo is 100%.
 

I think but mostly hope that she will reach 119 now, thi is « only » 6 months to go

 I do not think a sample size of four against the several billion people who have lived will give us a very good degree of confidence about that 100% prediction

Ahah of course that 100% is completely biased BUT considering there’s only 4 people who have reached 118, the official life expectancy at 118 really is 100. Let’s see if Soeur André turns 119 to know if this percentage will be lower down 

 

this is a strange but valid paradox

Considering nobody has ever made it this far, I would have to agree!

The oldest person in Poland is now Colonel Kazimierz Klimczak, mentioned on a few various threads on this forum.

There's some kind of a small biography on 110club (Link). Daughter of a chief priest, home economics teacher at a girls' school, never had children, moved to a retirement home at 80 and was a heavy smoker until she was diagnosed with lung cancer at 95 and given six months to live. She loved raw tuna, Kabayaki eel and Oronamin C, that same carbonated drink Tanaka drunk. She died from covid pneumonia.

 

By the way, here's the gallery since Juniewicz's death:

gallery.png.95c211f469753a72dc6ca265ee97e714.png

*Matsu Gaja could be older than Ceccarelli, but we won't know if she's alive until September.

 

 

Possible #11-20:

Dominga Coca Garcia (14 September 1908) Chile. Seemingly somewhat documented.

L. P. (15 October 1908) Austrian

Hide Hamabe (3 December 1908) Japan

Sadako Yamada (3 January 1909) Japan. Could be in limbo?

Nina Willis (14 January 1909) US, was in horrible condition on her 112th

Kaoru Kobayashi (18 January 1909) Japan

Katsumi Ando (2 February 1909) Japan

Shinobu Hayashi (15 March 1909) Japan

Annabelle Holblinger (16 March 1909) US

Mitsuno Sato (9 April 1909) Japan

 

Claimants, possible fraudsters:

Rosa Zoila Higuera Velandia (23 August 1906?) Colombian claimant, now seemingly in limbo. Possibly dead.

Ardith Grose (22 March 1907-LIMBO 2021, died 2018.) US claimant, dead.

Wang Zhanwen (15 April 1907?) Chinese claimant

Xu Senzhen (22 September 1907?-LIMBO 2022) Chinese claimant whose age could actually be true. DEAD.

Maria ana da Silva (18 December 1907?) Brazilian claimant

Margarida Blanco (19 February 1908?) Brazilian claimant

I do believe he was actually Ireland's oldest person.

The holder of that title is now also a male, Matthew Crowley, born in May 1914.

Very unusual to have two successive males holding a country's oldest living person title.

Three, possibly!

The oldest man before O'Connor was an anonymous man who lived to 110 or 111.

 

Article on Matthew Crowley: https://clarechampion.ie/matthew-107-congratulated-by-president-higgins/

Mathew Crowley is no longer Ireland's Oldest Person. Died less than a week after you posted!

 

Note only 1 't', Mathew, not Matthew Crowley.

She is mentioned as alive in the September report. She lives in Nakagusuku, Okinawa, and she is the oldest living person in Okinawa. If validated by the GRG she will make it into the current world's top 5/6/7 (depends on the exact birthdate, it's not revealed yet) .

Mikizo Ueda celebrated his 112th birthday:

Looks a bit thin in the recent pictures but otherwise seems to be doing okay.

Mikizo Ueda dead at 112.

 

More or less in a month we'll also know if the Chinese are still alive. Doubt the three of them are.

Translation of the post; 

Today is the old Respect for the Aged Day. Ms. Fusa Tatsumi, 115 years old, who is staying at our facility, is also in good health. For the production of a 10-minute documentary program for News J Channel's "J's Tracking", the interview staff stuck around for three days. ten is scheduled to be broadcast this evening. If you have time, it is limited to Kansai!

Noticed that the oldest man in Germany, Hans Schornack, was born on a leap day. Currently the oldest living person to have been born on a leap day and the third-oldest ever, he'll celebrate 110 years since his birth (can you call it a birthday?) on the 1st of March if he makes it that far. If he makes it to the 12th of September he'll become the oldest person born on a leap day. 

Hans Schornack, oldest man in Germany and Europe, (if he hasn't died very recently and it hasn't been announced yet) reached that goal this week and broke Mary Norris' record from twenty years ago. He's now the oldest person ever born on leap day.

Found a video (she appears at around 2:17 onwards):

Incomparable to anyone else who has lived to 115 in my opinion. Nabi Tajima was still able to lift up her hand at 117.

 

Also she does talk at 3:14, apparently asks "When will my meal come?"

Looking so frail is certainly not a good sign, but surprisingly she outlived many stronger supercentenarians, despite her extreme frailness during the last year.

She looked well at 110, but she declined in the next years.

There are no photos for Yoshi Otsunari and Anonymous of Hyogo so this could be due to extreme frailness.
