World records can be set even if you are over 100 years old.
即使你已经超过了100岁，也可以创造世界纪录。

Robert Marchand was born in 1911 in northern France.He enjoys riding a bicycle, and started cycling seriously when he was in his 60s.
罗伯特·马钱德于1911年出生在法国北部。他喜欢骑自行车，并在他60多岁时开始认真地骑自行车。

Marchand is now 105 years old.
马钱德现在是105岁。

On Wednesday, a crowd gathered at the Velodrome National, about 30 kilometers outside of Paris.They were there to see how far he could travel in one hour.
星期三，一群人聚集在巴黎外约30公里处的国家自行车馆。等待着见证马钱德能在一个小时内骑行多远。

The record for one hour is held by Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, a former Tour de France winner.Wiggins covered 54.5 kilometers in 2015.
一个小时骑行记录的保持者是英国前环法自行车赛冠军布拉德利·威金斯。威金斯在2015年骑行了54.5公里。

Evelyn Stevens of the United States holds the women’s record.She went almost 48 kilometers in an hour last year.
美国的伊夫林·史蒂文斯保持着女性最高记录。她去年一个小时骑了将近48公里。

In 2012, Marchand set a record for riders over 100 years old when he traveled almost 27 kilometers in an hour.So the question many people asked this week was: “Could he break his own record?”
2012年，马钱德创造了100岁以上车手的纪录，当时他在一小时内骑行了将近27公里。所以许多人这个星期的问题是：“他能打破自己的记录吗？

Marchand set off on his record attempt as sports lovers cheered and photographers watched.He moved slowly, but steadily, around the cycling track.
在运动爱好者的欢呼和摄影师的注目下，马钱德开始了他的挑战记录之行。他尽管速度较慢，但平稳地围绕着自行车赛道骑行。

Marchand is relatively small.He is only 1.52 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms.
马钱德体型较瘦小。他只有1.52米高，重52公斤。

When the hour ended, he completed 92 times around the track.That is just over 22.5 kilometers.
规定时间结束后，他绕场92圈。刚刚超过22.5公里。

After the event, Marchand said he could have done better.He did not see his trainers telling him he only had 10 minutes remaining.
活动结束后，马钱德说他可以做得更好。他没有看到他的教练告诉他只剩下10分钟。

“I would have gone faster.I would have posted a better time,” he said.
“我本应该骑得更快。我应该更好的控制时间，“他说。

But the news was still good, as he did set a new record for riders 105-years-old or older.
但这个成绩已经不错了，因为他为105岁及以上的车手创造了一个新纪录。

“I’m now waiting for a rival,” he said.
“我现在在等待一个对手，”他说。
