▲ 93-year-old Jos Bots tries hard to become the world's oldest solo paraglider (单人滑翔伞运动员). The record before is held by a Polish man who soared (高飞) to heights of 332 m at the age of 91 in 2017 Mr. Bots did a test once and he missed (the 300m high level) by 10m because of the bad conditions. He is paying close attention to the weather report waiting for the perfect chance to beat the world record. A Teenager Flies Around the World 17-year old Mack Rutherford has now set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone and broken his sister's record He flew in a small, two-seater airplane. One of the plane's seats was taken the place by an extra gas tank (汽油箱). This allowed Mack to fly farther. He visited 30 countries in all and he once had to land on an island with no one else on it. Talented Music Boy 10-year-old Seba Stephens became the youngest person ever to receive a professional certificate (证书) in music from the famous Berklee College of Music.
