Looking forward to the 115th birthday pictures if she makes it that far, impressive how some folks like this keep going Nabi Tajima looked like that for years and still managed to be the one who became 3rd oldest person ever at her death, outliving many healthy-looking supercentenarians. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I should bet that someone will become WOP that's Tekla Juniewicz. Looks relatively well and there is a gap of one year between her and Antonia Da Santa Cruz (who is also most probably the one currently gravely ill, except Tanaka). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,738 Posted January 2, 2022 Tajima could lift her hand(s) up even during her final year. Kura Bingo would be a slightly better supercentenarian to compare her with, but Tatsumi's decline has been much faster than Bingo's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn’t be surprised if we found out they just mummified her at some point and pretended she was still alive to have the title honestly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These can't be good signs at 119. However, if it makes it through January I could see her somehow lasting a bit more as it seems like January is routinely her unlucky month.

Hanzem 708 Posted January 2, 2022 23 hours ago, Lafaucheuse said: Lucille Randon is quite impressive ! She's a little bit overshadowed by Tanaka and that's understandable but I would be quite proud to see her as the "oldest woman alive" at some points, cause at her age, the fact that she's not is unbelievable ! I'd love to see a French take the title for a little while. She seems quite healthy and still active from the recent videos of her so I'd say she can easily reach her 118th birthday but not sure about her 119th, everything can happen at those ages… Randon has declined much less than Tanaka did during the last years, so she has a decent chance.

Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted January 4, 2022 apparently Tanaka had a "slight" fever in the end of December and was admitted to hospital as a "precaution" but was discharged yesterday (or today ?) and is back to drink coca and eat ice-cream... Damn she's immortal ! I would have thought she was on her way out but it seems like she's not yet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
