100 year old sets first-ever hour record mark for his age group

The oldest ever track record has been established by the Frenchman Robert Marchand who, over two months after turning 100 years of age, travelled to the World Cycling Centre in Aigle, Switzerland and established the mark of 24.251 kilometres.

"I'm not playing at being a champion," he said. "I just wanted to do something for my 100th birthday."
