07 Şubat 2010 Pazar , Forum İstanbul'da GWR Live! Roadshow'un 12. gününde yarışmalarımız aynı hızla devam ediyor.
Bugün sadece bir rekor paylaşıldı:
1) Bir dakikada en fazla ayakkabı yerleştirme rekoru 9 ayakkabıydı. Bu rekoru Ahmet Karaalp tekrarlayabildi
En kısa sürede çocuk mankeni soyma rekor denemesine katılan bir beyefendiyi ne yazık ki diskalifiye etmek zorunda kaldık, çünkü mankenin şapkasını kartona koymadı. Oysa bu da kurallardan bir tanesiydi.
Bugün özel hafta sonu yarışmamızı düzenledik. Yarışmanın adı "12 ürünü en kısa sürede barkod makinasından geçirmek"ti. Toplam 11 katılımcımız oldu, bunlardan 7 tanesini, yarışma kurallarına uymadıkları için elemek zorunda kaldım. En hızlı yarışmacımız 2 dakika 13 saniye ile Okan Bayındır oldu. Okan Bey'i kutluyoruz ! REAL Supermarketi, barkod makinasından geçirdiği tüm ürünleri ona hediye etti. Teşekkürler.
Işte benim asistanım, Mine hanim, ona yardımları için çok teşekkűr ediyorum
AVM'miz yine çok hareketli bir gün geçirdi.Bu arada birçok rekor kırldığı için, yeni rekorlar elde etmek oldukça zorlaştı.
GWR Live! Roadshow'daki 12. günümüzden de bu kadar. Haftaya 12 Şubat Cuma günü görüşmek üzere.

06 Şubat 2010 Cumartesi, Forum İstanbul'da GWR Live! Roadshow'un 11. günü. Denemelerimiz aynen devam ediyor.
Bugün 3 rekorun kırıldığını duyurmaktan çok mutluyum :
1) Bir çocuk mankenin en kısa süredi elbiselerini soyma rekoru 7.07 saniye ile Feyza Atlıoğlu'nun oldu
2) "Bay Patates Kafa"nın parçalarını 7.59 saniyede Samet Durmaz birleştirdi. Samet Bey bu yarışmada daha önce rekor sahibi olmuştu fakat rekoru başkası tarafından kırıldı. O ise azmetti ve yeni bir derece ile rekoru tekrar ele geçirdi. Başka rekorlara imza atmak üzere onu yine görmeyi umuyoruz
3) Bir çocuk mankeni en kısa sürede soyma rekoru bir daha kırıldı, yeni derecemiz 6.68 saniye ve
Samet Cőrt'e ait
"En çok kalemi masada durdurma" yarışmasına katılan iki tane çok heyecanlı erkek cocuğumuz oldu.
Çocuklardan biri tam 14 kalemle büyük başarı elde ederken, diğeri heyecaından dolayı sadece bir kalemde kaldı.
Yarınki "12 ürünü barkod makinasından en kısa sürede geçirme" yarışmamıza bugün çok başvuru aldık. Yarın bu denemede 10 katılımcımız olacak.
AVM oldukça kalabalıktı ve istasyonlarımıza ilgi her zamanki gibi çok büyüktü.Koçlarımız ise en iyi performanslarını sergilediler.
Çok fazla rekor kırılmasa da Türkiye'de çok büyük yeteneklerin olduğu şüphesiz. İnsanlar yeni rekorların sahibi olmak için çok çaba sarfediyolar.
GWR Live! Roadshow'daki 11. günümüz de böyle geçti. Takım arkadaşlarımız birbirine iyice alıştılar ve hepimiz bu efsanevi Guinness World Records Live! Roadshow'da büyük coşku ile çalışıyoruz.!

Le Plus Grand Gratin Dauphinoi Le Plus Grand Gratin Dauphinois au Monde
- From: gwr_justine

Description:
Vendredi 29 janvier au petit matin, le juge officiel français de Guinness World Records, Frank Chambers se prépare à affronter une journée plus froide que les autres. Il se rend en effet au milieu des Alpes Françaises dans la station de ski du même nom : l’Alpe d’Huez. La raison de ce déplacement n’est pas des moindres puisque l’Office du Tourisme de l’Alpe d’Huez se prépare à établir le record du plus grand gratin dauphinois au monde...
Ce plat été officiellement mentionné pour la première fois, le 12 juillet 1788, après un dîner organisé par Charles-Henri duc de Clermont-Tonnerre, alors lieutenant général du Dauphiné. Il est depuis devenu une spécialité locale incontournable.
L’Office du Tourisme a travaillé des mois sur la préparation de ce record avec notamment la fabrication d’un poêlon fait sur mesure (10 mètres de long sur 2 mètres de large) pour cuire le gratin dauphinois. La quantité des ingrédients est elle aussi extraordinaire avec plus de 2.700 pommes de terres épluchées par les enfants de la station, 300kg de crème fraiche et 10kg d’ail ! Les parts du gratin dauphinois seront ensuite vendues et les bénéfices reçus reversés à l’association ELA.
Pour établir un nouveau record il faudra que le poids du gratin atteigne un minimum de 200kg. Pari tenu ! Avec un poids de plus de 3 tonnes le plus grand gratin dauphinois au monde est homologué par Frank Chambers qui remet alors un certificat officiel aux organisateurs.
La France est encore une fois à l’honneur avec un impressionant record de gastronomie !

Village People & 40,148 Dancin Village People & 40,148 Dancing "YMCA" Fans Set Guinness World Record
- From: gwr_press

Description:
Village People sang and 40,148 adoring fans in the stadium danced their way into a world record. Just certified this week by Guinness World Records, the largest YMCA dance ever was scored during the halftime show at the Brut Sun Bowl, in El Paso, Texas, presented by Helen of Troy, on December 31, 2008.
Danny Girton, Jr., Guinness World Records Adjudication Manager, announced today, “On behalf of Guinness World Records, we are delighted to certify such a visual, fun and monumental record achievement. A very worthy effort by all 40,148 participants and we welcome them to the Guinness World Records family!”
Village People has sold more than 100 million albums and singles internationally and remains as popular today as the group was in the beginning. They continue to perform to sell-out crowds around the world. The group’s biggest hit records include YMCA, Macho Man, In The Navy, Can’t Stop the Music, Go West and San Francisco/Hollywood. YMCA is, to date, their best selling single, amassing sales of over 15 million units worldwide (four million in the U.S. alone).Today, 32 years after the creation of the group, the Village People legacy endures and continues to be reinvented through the six performers who don the iconic costumes that first captured and captivated the world’s attention in 1977.
They are: Ray Simpson, who replaced Victor Willis as the group’s lead singer/Cop character in 1979, beginning with the group’s cult hit film Can’t Stop the Music. Felipe Rose, who is the one and only Indian, and was the basis for the creation of the group. He is half-Native American and half-Puerto Rican. Alexander Briley, the one and only G.I./Military Man. David Hodo, the original Construction Man. Jeff Olson, who, in 1980, replaced Randy Jones as the Cowboy just after Can’t Stop the Music. Eric Anzalone, who joined the group in 1995 as the Biker/Leatherman, as original member Glenn Hughes began battling lung cancer.
With a global fan base and a worldwide tour schedule that attests to the group’s enduring and increasing popularity, Village People is thrilled to also be recognized by Guinness World Records.

The Venetian® Macao-Resort-Hotel House of Cards Guinness World Records™ Attempt
190,000 Cards in 44 Days Guinness World Records-Breaking Attempt
Macao, Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (January 26, 2010) –The Venetian® Macao-Resort-Hotel is proud to announce that Bryan Berg who holds the Guinness World Records record for the world’s largest house of
freestanding playing cards and the Guinness World Records record for the world's tallest house of freestanding playing cards, will launch an attempt to break his own Guinness World Records record for the largest house of freestanding playing cards at The Venetian Macao®.
Berg’s attempt to build a replica of The Venetian® Macao, The Plaza™ Macao and Sands Macao buildings will use more than 190,000 cards and take 44 days to complete. Berg will begin building Tuesday, January 26, 2010 and complete his construction Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at The Venetian Macao®.
Berg’s card structures will recreate intricate details of these icons of the Cotai Strip®, such as the Rialto Bridge, the Campanile Tower, and challenging curved shapes of The Plaza™ Macao and Sands Macao. Overall, the composition will be 10 1/2 meters (35
feet) long, 3 1/2 meters (11 feet) tall, and weigh more than 227 kilograms (500 pounds). The cards Berg will use in this record attempt, if laid end to end, would stretch more than 17 kilometers (10 1/2 miles).
Card stacking requires that the builder use no tape, glue or other foreign substances that would aid the construction of the structure. To prove that Berg complies with these rules, after 10 days of displaying the completed record-setting replica, on Saturday, March 20, 2010, Berg will have to publicly knock it all down.
To celebrate the world record attempt and knocking down of the cards, one lucky Cardstacker Sweepstakes participant who draws the Gold Million Card used in the construction of the structure will instantly win HKD$1,000,000.
Throughout the construction period, The Venetian® Macao and Bryan Berg will offer workshops for children, teaching them how to stack cards, as well as cardstacking contests on Saturdays at 3pm for the public, and 5pm for invited community children's centers.“I was inspired to stack cards by my card-playing grandfather; maybe I can inspire some visitors at The Venetian Macao to try their hand at building their own structures,” said Berg. “This will be the most ambitious project I have undertaken to date, and there couldn't be a more fitting place to build the world's largest house of cards than at the world's largest resort hotel. Given the location of my attempt, I will work to capture the immense grandeur and beauty of The Venetian, The Plaza and Sands Macao.”
Visitors wishing to catch a glimpse of Berg constructing his record-breaking attempt should visit the open space in front of the ZAİA™ Theater between January 26 and March 20, 2010 at The Venetian® Macao.

His latest record-holding structure in the category is over twenty-five feet tall. In 2004, Guinness created a new record category for the World's Largest House of Freestanding Playing Cards to recognize a project Berg built for Walt Disney World―a replica of Cinderella's Castle. He continues to hold both records. Berg has stacked cards in virtually every major US and Canadian city, and across Europe and Asia. He is trained as an architect, and holds a Masters degree from Harvard University.

Description:
On 17 January 2010, Guinness World Records® was present in Dubai, UAE to adjudicate the record attempt for the largest seashell mosaic.
The mosaic which was made entirely from seashells resembled Dubai’s police logo which is a dhow sailing on sea waves, the mosaic was created to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the accession day of His Highness, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to be the ruler of Dubai.
The mosaic’s length is 13.6 metres and it is 12 metres wide. Made entirely of seashells, the mosaic weighs 1700 kilogram and is 3 metres high. The 60,000 shells which were used in the mosaic were collected by personnel from Dubai Police who scoured Jumeirah Beach in Dubai to look for the best specimens to be used for the mosaic. The seashell mosaic was built in 32 days and 59 persons took part in gathering and classifying the seashells.
A ceremony to unveil the mosaic was held at Dubai Police’s headquarters. The ceremony was attended by Major General, Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police and senior officers.
At the end of the record, Talal Omar, the Guinness World Records adjudicator, announced the success of the attempt and presented The Guinness World Records certificate for the largest seashell mosaic to Dubai Police Chief Lt. General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, who declared after receiving the certificate that The police’s logo, which consists of dhow sailing on the sea, is reflecting our heritage. The sea was the only source of sustenance for the Emiratis in the past. So we decided to create a mosaic made of seashells to reflect that our history is part of our present of which we are proud of.
Congratulations to the new records holders.

Grammy Awards 2010: Continuing Grammy Awards 2010: Continuing a Record-Breaking Tradition
- From: gwr_kim

Description:
This past Sunday, January 31, marked the 52nd time the Recording Academy gathered music’s best and brightest in one room and recognized the past year’s achievements at the Grammy Awards. At these, the most prestigious awards in music, it can feel like an artist’s greatest accomplishment to win just one (an “impossible dream,” in the words of Taylor Swift, winner of 4 Grammys this year), but there are some who have added so many of those coveted golden gramophones to their collection that they have joined the ranks of Guinness World Record holders as well as Grammy winners.
The big story this weekend was the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson, current holder of 10 Guinness World Records. Sunday’s show included a star-studded performance of “Earth Song” featuring, along with a recording of Jackson’s voice, Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson. In 1984, Jackson set a record for MOST GRAMMY AWARDS WON IN A SINGLE YEAR BY AN INDIVIDUAL when he won a total of 8 awards with his album Thriller, itself a record holder as the BEST SELLING ALBUM ever. Beyoncé Knowles took home the most awards in 2010, with 6, but did not win enough of her 10 categories to set a new single-year record. Her near-ubiquitous song “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was crowned Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.
The original moonwalker also has some very distinguished company among Grammy record holders. Here are just a few of the most notable Guinness World Records set at the Grammy Awards:
MOST GRAMMY AWARDS WON BY AN INDIVIDUAL – LIFETIME:
Georg Solti (UK), a Hungarian-born British conductor, won a total of 31 Grammys in his lifetime, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. He won his first Grammy in 1958, the inaugural year of the ceremony. With her win this year, Allison Kraus tied producer Quincy Jones in 2nd place, with 27 wins.
MOST GRAMMY AWARD WINS BY A GROUP:
U2 (Ireland) won 22 Grammys over an 18-year span from 1988 (Joshua Tree) through 2006 (How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb). Both albums took home “Album of the Year,” and three other years the band won one or more of the “Big Four” awards (Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist). In 1987, the band joined The Beatles and The Monkees as co-record holders for MOST ALBUMS ON THE U.S. CHART SIMULTANEOUSLY (7).EARLIEST WINNER OF THE “BIG FOUR” GRAMMY AWARDS IN ONE YEAR:
Speaking of those much-coveted “Big Four,” Christopher Cross (USA) swept them all in 1981 when in addition to winning in the Best New Artist category, his self-titled debut album took home Album of the Year, while the song “Sailing” garnered both Song and Record of the Year. Although the Recording Academy no longer allows nominees for Song, Record or Album of the year to be eligible for Best New Artist, both Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga were each nominated in all of the remaining “Big Four” categories.
MOST GRAMMY AWARDS WON IN A SINGLE YEAR BY A GROUP:
In 2000, Santana’s (USA) Supernatural picked up 8 awards. The album itself, a series of collaborations by Santana with other contemporary artists, earned Album of the Year and Best Rock Album, while that year’s most ear-catching single, “Smooth” featuring Rob Thomas, nabbed both Record of the Year and Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. Supernatural also holds the Guinness World Record for BEST SELLING ALBUM BY A LATIN ARTIST, as well as granting Santana the LONGEST GAP BETWEEN FIRST CHART ENTRY AND FIRST NO. 1 SINGLE (30 years) and the LONGEST GAP BETWEEN U.S. CHART ALBUM HITS (28 years). This year, Carlos Santana presented the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift for 2009’s best-selling album, Fearless.MOST GRAMMY AWARD NOMINATIONS IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES:
Banjoist Béla Fleck (USA) has proved Grammy’s most versatile musician, earning 20 nominations and 9 wins in 8 different categories: country, pop, jazz, bluegrass, classical, folk, spoken word and composition and arranging. Her 9th win came in 2010 when “Throw Down Your Heart” nabbed Best Pop Instrumental Performance.YOUNGEST GRAMMY NOMINEE – SOLO ARTIST:
At just 9 years 313 days old, “Miguelito”, born Miguel A. Valenzuela Morales (Puerto Rico), won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Latin Album for Children for El Heredero on 13 November 2008. Now 11, Miguelito continues to record music. He released his latest album, Los Pitchers, in August of 2009.Since their inaugural year, the Grammys have evolved from a modest 28-category affair at the Beverly Hills Hotel to the massive event now held at the Staples Center. With 109 categories, 18 performers, and even the very first 3-D awards show broadcast, this year’s ceremony was certainly one to remember!

Most Couples Hugging in 10 Sec Most Couples Hugging in 10 Seconds and Longest Massage Chain
- From: GWR_Philip

Description:
What happens when up to 1,000 enthusiastic individuals dressed in sparkly bras, pink workout clothing and feather boas take part in a six hour exercise class? A whole host of achievements including two Guinness World Records and quite a few special moments as it happens.
The “Bust A Move” exercise event hosted by the IWK and QEII Foundations in support of breast health in Nova Scotia encouraged participants to raise money in order to earn a place in the days proceedings which included yoga, Pilates and zuma dance classes. The event ultimately raised more than $1 million towards the purchase of a new digital mammography machine for the local hospital.
Earlier in the day 313 couples took part in the first record attempt of the day – Most couples hugging for ten seconds, comfortably beating the previous record. With a little rearranging and orderly line forming, 617 individuals then earned a Guinness World Records record for the Longest Massage Chain completing the necessary three minutes of massage techniques without a pause.
For many the highlight of the day took place at 5pm. Ater a long tiring workout and with energy fading, Richard Simmons burst onto stage wearing his trademark shorts and bedazzled red workout uniform, and reinvigorated the room with his unique brand of humor and dance energy. Richard is so popular amongst the exercise community that one participant had recently received a tattoo of Mr. Simmons to celebrate losing weight. - Blog post

The Most people to polish a ca The Most people to polish a car simultaneously
- From: gwr_jack

Description:
On Thursday 28 January I was in Milton Keynes judging the attempt to achieve the most people to polish a car simultaneously. The attempt was part of a conference for the company ‘Tork’ who, amongst other things, specialise in cloths used by the F1 team for polishing cars. For the purpose of this event they had rented an F1 car. As it was a new category, Guinness World Records had set the minimum at 50 people. In order to qualify, at least 50 people would have to polish the car for 1 minute.
Shortly after the car was in place, the participants filed into the room and were ushered to their places around the car. I gave a short explanation of the guidelines provided by Guinness World Records and the attempt began.
I watched with the help of a few ushers and we all agreed that everyone had taken part for the entire minute. To the sound of cheers from all involved I announced that a total of 63 people had polished the car for 1 minute, a new Guinness World Records achievement.

3) The most t-shirts put on in a minute is 25 and was achieved by Ozlem Akin (Turkey) Congratulations to our new record holders!
Today, our meatball contest started at 17.00 hrs as planned. We had 11 contestants, in total: 2 ladies and 9 gentlemen. In average about 7-8 meatballs were consumed in one minute.
The number of most meatballs consumed was 11, by Tunahan Toptas. He could not break the record, which is currently 27 meatballs and was achieved by Nick Marshall from the UK. Although Mr. Toptas couldn’t break the record, IKEA made him a favour and handed him a cheque of 250 Turkish Liras (which is equal 125 Euros).
The mall was full again and our stations were very popular.Thanks to all our coaches who did a great job as usual! This was my ninth day on this GWR Live! Roadshow.
My best regards,

Shaun White Breaks Records at Shaun White Breaks Records at Winter X Games 14!

Description:
Another bright crisp shiny day greeted us as we made our way to Buttermilk Mountain to kick off Day 2 of Winter X Games 14. We were pretty geared up for the day as in the evening the Men's Snowboard Superpipe Finals were going to take place and Shaun White stood a good chance of breaking his own record for most Winter X Games medals ever won. Before the evening's competition he had 14, nine of which were gold so we were going to make sure we kept track of all the heats and elimination rounds to make sure he was there.
Before that however we headed off to the Snowskate Park for another day of Guinness World Records challenges. Today we were going to see who could do the highest ollie on a snowskate flat deck as well as seeing who could do the most kickflips in 30 seconds on a snowskate as well.
We were expecting good things because Phil Smage was present. He is actually in the current Guinness World Records book for a number of things including the longest ollie on a snowskate which is over 11ft!
Phil and others lined up to take part but the competition were quickly knocked out. Starting the bar at 10 inches it seemed a fairly comfortable start but soon the bar rose to a record-breaking 28 and a half inches and only Phil was left standing.
Amazing! Seriously, try popping a flat deck over two feet off the snow - very cool and a new Guinness World Record!
Next came the kickflip competition for which there was no current record so we were going to see what these guys could do. After a few rounds only Max Hilty was left standing, or flipping I should say, as he completed 14 kickflips in the alloted 30 second time period. You know, it looked kinda straight forward for these guys but by the end they were exhausted!
Congrats to Max though, another Guinness World Record, another Guinness World Record breaker!
Phil and Max seemed comfortable in the superlative spotlight, nice one guys and thank you for competing!
After trying my own hand at a bit of snowboarding and failing miserably it was time to learn something from the pros so we headed to the superpipe to watch the men's snowboarding finals. As mentioned all eyes were on Shaun White and he did not disappoint. White seemed to be everywhere, even where you'd least expect it!
This is the view from the top of the pipe.
Despite a nasty fall on the lip of the pipe in a practice run he did what no-one else had ever done before - win gold for the third straight year in a discipline no-one can seem to match him at. At only 23 years of age the guy is already a legend and an inspiration.
Fans and media greeted Shaun everytime he finished a run.
But it wasn't just the medals he was breaking records in. Oh no. In his gold-winning run, White jumped 23 ft off the edge of the pipe to set a new world record for highest air ever. That's what it takes to not only win gold but get in to the Guinness World Records book!
Congratulations Shaun White on your win and all the very best for the Winter Olympics.
And those are the main headlines for Day 2 of Winter X Games 14. Keep coming back for more updates as we continue to cover the absolutely awesome Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado.

Today we announced our special week-end challenge for eating the most Ikea meatballs in one minute. The current record holder for this challenge is the U.K. with 27 meatballs. Let’s see and wait if Turkey can be the new record holder. This contest will take place on Sunday 31 January at 17.00 hrs.
