Impressive and bizarre: new Guinness World Records revealed
Unusual stars of Guinness World Records 2020 were revealed honouring a long line of people.
UK/US (Reuters) - Unusual stars of Guinness World Records 2020 were revealed on Thursday (September 5), honouring a long line of people who have done highly improbable things better than anyone else.
In the United States, Getti Kehayova’s incredible ability to spin a 17ft titanium hula hoop earned her the Guinness World Records title for the "Largest hula hoop spun (female)".
Lisa and Chris Pitman hold the record for most pine boards broken in one minute with one hand. The husband-and-wife team smashed more than 500 blocks in one minute between them (Lisa 230, Chris 315).
When not smashing pine boards, Lisa is the only female Taekwondo master in the UK.
Another record was smashed by Kevin Nicks, creator of the fastest garden shed, which can now zoom around the roads in Yorkshire in northern England at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour.
The motorized shed boasts a 400BHP turbo-charged engine and broke the record by travelling at 80.67 mph.
In a category all of her own was Brittany Walsh, a circus performer from Portland, Oregon. She is the record holder for the farthest arrow shot using her feet.
She has managed to achieve a distance of 12.31 metres (40.38 feet) with her extraordinary gymnastic skills.
