On Sunday 11th October 2009, Guinness World Records™ officials Craig Glenday and Tom Harris attended the annual Sony Ericsson B-Boy Championships - World Finals at the O2 Academy Brixton in London, United Kingdom. The UK B-Boy Championships World Finals are one of the highlights of the world break dancing calendar, year on year attracting the best b-boys and b-girls from across the globe. Guinness World Records™ were on hand to witness the action and any new world records being set at the event. Hosted by the infamous Crazy Legs and Afrika Islam, once again, the world finals proved to be a spectacular success, with solo b-boys, poppers, lockers and crews all battling it out for their respective championship titles. The most anticipated event of the finals, the world crew battles, in which crews from eight different countries across the globe fight it out to be declared the world’s best, proved to be as impressive and competitive as billed. In the final of the event, Skill Methodz, a crew from the United States were victorious in a tightly fought battle against defending champions Top 9, from Russia. Amidst all the battles, beats, competition and controversy Guinness World Records™ adjudicated 2 new world records for Most Break Dancing Head Spins In One Minute (Female), Most Consecutive Break Dancing Head Spins (Female) by B-girl Roxy aka Roxanna Milliner, 20 from South London (pictured). 22 October 2009
The web is buzzing with stories about Khagendra, the Nepalese boy hoping to qualify as the world's shortest man. He's certainly short enough, says GWR Editor in Chief Craig Glenday, but is he old enough to claim the official world record?
Back in 2006, Guinness World Records was contacted by the Dwarf Association of Nepal, asking us to ratify one of their members as the shortest living man. The "man" in question was Khagendra Thapa Magar, and at 20 in (50.8 cm) he would have certainly qualified, beating the current record holder He Pingping at 74.61 cm (2 ft 5.37 in). There was just one problem: Khangendra had not yet turned 18.
To quality for the Guinness World Records title of world's shortest man, claimants must be 18 years or older (assuming the first year of life is considered year 0, and not year 1). This is irrespective of sexual maturity or a society's legal, ritualistic or religious coming of age. We are in possession of Khagendra's birth registration certificate, his certification of Citizenship and his identity card (pictured). On the Nepali calendar, Khagendra was born on Asoj 18, 2049 which equates to 4 October 1992. This makes him 6,220 days old (as of today, 15 October 2009) or 17 years 11 days.
We are once again in touch with Khangendra and his family and have asked for re-confirmation of his birthday, on the off chance that there has been some misunderstanding. We are very excited to learn of this little Nepalese claimant and have been for a few years now. But until we can clear up the discrepancy, the holder of the title of world¹s smallest mobile man remains with He Pingping.
On 26 August 2009, a Guinness World Records™ achievement was set in Shanghai, China, for the most couples hugging, with with a total of 3,009 couples participating, more than doubling the previous record of 1,451.
The 26 August 2009 was the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the date of the traditional Chinese festival of “qixi”. This festival has many beautiful stories behind it, and nowadays many people regard it as the day to express their affections to each other. The record attempt itself was actually part of a larger event; a gathering for the fans of the pop stars Zhou Yumin and Lin Yichen. The fans were more than happy to take part in the hugging festivities, expressing their love to their friends and family members.
Guinness World Records™ adjudicator Angela Wu adjudicated at the event and presented the certificate to its organizers, the Hangzhou Tingjin Food Co., Ltd..
