TAIPEI: Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou’s 90-year-old grandfather-in-law, Laurence Quinlivan, recently defied age by clinching multiple medals at the World Masters Games 2025 in Taiwan.
According to a recent report by The Straits Times, Quinlivan participated in the multi-sport event, which is similar to the Olympics but primarily for athletes over 30. The games were held in Taipei and New Taipei City from May 17 to 30.
On May 18, the opening day of the event, Quinlivan secured a gold medal in javelin and a silver medal in the 100m sprint, both in the 90-plus age category.
Jay Chou, 46, celebrated Quinlivan’s impressive feats on his Instagram Stories later that day.
Laurence Quinlivan is the grandfather of Chou’s wife, 31-year-old Taiwanese-Australian model-actress Hannah Quinlivan.
Hannah’s father is Australian, and her mother has Chinese and Korean heritage.
Chou shared a photo of Quinlivan being interviewed by the media, captioned: “@hannah_quinlivan’s grandpa is awesome.”
Hannah Quinlivan also posted a video of her grandfather competing in the 100m sprint, with the caption: “Thank you for cheering for grandpa.”
Demonstrating his consistent performance, Quinlivan went on to win another silver medal in the 200m sprint for the same age group on May 19.
