He sees traditional Indian practices as a powerful corrective. \u201cOur culture \u2014 yoga, <em>pranayama,<\/em> meditation \u2014 helps internal balance. That\u2019s why the body can remain young,\u201d he said. With a laugh, he added, \u201cMy body age is 21,\u201d and argued that true youth begins after 40 because experience teaches self-care.<\/p>\n<p>His long-term goal sounds audacious but utterly sincere: \u201cMy goal is to be world champion even when I reach 100 years.\u201d It isn\u2019t about records, he says, but about demonstrating that health can be sustained for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>As our conversation closed, Venkatesan returned to the message at the heart of everything he does: \u201cWhether you win or fail, that should be secondary.
