Alan Franco has set a new record at Flamengo, becoming the first Brazilian to run a marathon in under two hours.

Franco, who was born in Rio de Janeiro and grew up in the state's capital, Rio de Janeiro, became interested in running when he was a teenager. He began training regularly and soon found himself competing in local races.

In 2018, Franco broke the world record for the 5K race by running a time of just over 47 minutes. However, his performance was not enough to qualify him for the Olympics, which is where he hopes to compete in next year's Games in Tokyo.

Franco said that his goal is to become the fastest man in the world and eventually break the Olympic record. He added that he will continue to train hard and focus on improving his speed and endurance.

Franco's achievement is a testament to his dedication and hard work. It shows that even though he may have been born in Brazil, he can still compete with the best athletes from around the world.
