RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. There's a new marathon record to contend with, but it's got nothing to do with speed. Last weekend, the Yakutia Cold Pole Marathon (ph) in Siberia became the coldest marathon on record. Runners braced against temperatures of negative-63 degrees Fahrenheit as frost coated their brows and eyelashes. The race started early since temperatures were expected to drop even lower. Only 65 runners competed, and about a hundred very dedicated supporters cheered them on. It's MORNING EDITION.

瑞秋·马丁，主持人：

早上好我是瑞秋·马丁。有一项新的马拉松纪录需要挑战，但这与速度无关。上周末，西伯利亚的雅库特冷极马拉松（ph）成为有记录以来最冷的马拉松。跑步者的眉毛和睫毛被霜冻覆盖，他们要承受负-63华氏度的温度。比赛很早就开始了，因为预计气温会下降得更低。只有65名选手参加了比赛，大约有100名非常热心的支持者为他们加油。这是早晨版。
