A soccer-loving nun from Brazil tops list of world's oldest living person at nearly 117

A soccer-loving nun from Brazil is believed to have become the world’s oldest living person at nearly 117 years old following the recent death of a Japanese woman. Sister Inah Canabarro was so skinny growing up that many didn’t think she would survive childhood. But she could be seen cracking jokes and reciting prayers in a video shot by LongeviQuest. The organization tracks supercentenarians around the globe. It declared the Teresian nun on Saturday to be the world's oldest living person validated by early life records.
