Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion(冠军). Like many young trainers, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness prevented her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women's record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span(跨度) of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling(与—作战) the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things—travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

On 8th March, a British man named Charles Eugster set a world record at the age of 95. He competed in the indoor 200m race at the British Masters Athletics Meet in London. He crossed the finishing line after 55.38 seconds and he broke the world record(57.88 seconds)set by American Orville Rogers in 2013.

Later, Eugster shared the good news on Facebook and thanked those who helped him to achieve it.

"I have just broken the M95 World Record in the indoor 200m race!"he wrote."55.38 seconds—I'm over the moon…Thank everyone for helping me achieve this."

After retiring(退休)as a dentist,Eugster took up exercise and played all kinds of sports. He began training as a runner when he was 80 years old. When he was 87, he joined a bodybuilding club. In 2013, he took up competitive track(跑道).

He said, "I've always competed—competition is good for the body and the mind. Life is about challenges(挑战),and you must always try something new. I want to show that I can learn a completely new sport and that I can be competitive in it."

On the website, Eugster offered some advice on being successful. "Successful aging requires work, diet and exercise. Bodies can now be rebuilt at any age and a new life started."
