GWR Day: Most Weight Squat Lif
- From: gwr_day
-
Description:
On the 12 November 2009 also known as Guinness World Records™ day, Shaun Jones was attempting to break his second world record in 8 days, during the build up to his attempt to break the record for Most Weight Squat Lifted in One Hour Shaun broke the record for the Fasted Hot Water Bottle Burst on the set of Blue Peter, smashing the previous record of 51.98 seconds set in the USA 2006, Shaun achieved an incredible time of 18.81 seconds.
The day had come after 5 long years of hard training and preparation for this amazing record attempt, Shaun who lives in Wroxham but runs a business based in Norwich, beat weightlifters from all over the world when he won his squat lifting class in the World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation this year, and also won at the British Powerlifting Championships. Shaun said this was the event he’d been training for as it was a life goal to become a Guinness World Records™ record holder.
Shaun and his team had done a lot of advertising for the huge event to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.
As the crowds came in to support their local hero he was warming up out the back with some light squats and a easy bike ride to raise his heart rate to get the vital leg muscles ready for this gruelling record attempt.
The stage was set, the crowds were in, Shaun was ready to start, on my signal Dominic (Shaun’s motivational coach and event MC) started the count down which got both the crowd and Shaun pumped up, Shaun started with a very impressive 240.4kg squat lift before moving onto 100.4kg for the majority of the record attempt.
As the record was underway the crowds of people were cheering along to help keep Shaun motivated and focused on his target of becoming a Guinness World Records™ success.
I could see the drive and determination in Shaun’s eyes as he continuously squatted the heavy 100.4kg bar. As time went on it was clear this record attempt was taking its toll as Shaun was starting to look drained and tired as the clock was counting down, as the end of the hour approached Shaun was putting every ounce of effort he had into the last and final few reps, these could be the ones to either make or brake his life dream.
The clock had finished and Shaun was unable to stand, proving he could of done no more, now it was a case of was his best good enough to beat the current record, this was set at 41,600kg, achieved last year in Russia by Sergey Rachinskey.
After confirming with the weight lifting judges how many reps were successful to the national powerlifting standards, I totalled up the lifts an it was my pleasure to announce Shaun’s final total weight, in the one hour period he had managed to lift a massive 46,798.8kg setting a new Guinness World Records™ achievement.
Shaun Jones demonstrated both physical and mental strength throughout the whole record attempt, allowing him to set this incredible bench mark for powerlifters from all over the world to now try and beat.

GWR DAY: Fastest time to burst
- From: gwr_day

Description:
In the lead up to Guinness World Records Day, Brits that tune into BBC1 children’s television programme ‘Blue Peter’, could be in for something very special. On Tuesday 10th November 2009 Norwich born power lifting champion Shaun Jones will attempt to break the record for the fastest time to burst a hot water bottle. That’s right; using only his breath Shaun will blow into the hard plastic container and literally attempt to blow the current record to bits!
This is Shaun stood alongside his singing motivational coach, Big Dom.
The record is currently held by the American, Brian Jackson. He managed the feat in 51.98 seconds at the Tahlequah High School, Tahlequah, Oklahoma, USA, on 13 April 2006.
We managed to get hold of some footage of the strong man in training:
Will he break the record? Find out on Blue Peter (BBC1) from 16:30 on Tuesday 10th November!
Interesting side note:Blue Peter holds a Guinness World Record of its own for being the longest running children's magazine programme
Blue Peter (BBC, UK), was first transmitted from London's Lime Grove Studios on 16 October 1958 and celebrated 45 years on air in October 2003. Originally presented by Christopher Trace and Leila Williams (both UK), it has so far seen a total of 29 presenters, the longest serving being John Noakes (UK) who hosted from 1965-1978. - Blog post

October Sports Blog

Description:
This month a few of us at Guinness World Records received a sporting treat courtesy of the Gillette Four Nations rugby league tournament who supplied us with tickets to the Australia vz New Zealand match at The Stoop last Saturday. For those of you who missed it the repeat of the 2008 Rugby League World Cup final ended in a thrilling 20-20 draw with Australia running in a last gasp try to avoid defeat.
This is the first four nations tournament, replacing the tri-nations tournament which Australia won three times, the most wins of the rugby league tri-nations. Darren Lockyer was also on show but failed to score a try, almost surprising considering he shares the record (with kiwi Joe Vagana) for the most tries scored in rugby league tri-nations matches an impressive nine.
October records
The month kicked off with a brand new record holder entering our Records Database in the Nuevo Estadio Jose Zorrilla, in Valladolid, Spain. 'Supersub' Iker Munian came off the bench for Athletic Club Bilbao to score the equaliser against Real Valladolid and secure his team a 2-2 draw. Aged 16 years and 289 days old he was the youngest goalscorer in the top division of Spanish football.
But after that it has been a case of the usual suspects tightening their grip on some Guinness World Records…
On 25 October 2009 Frenchman Sebastien Loeb raced to victory at the Rally of Great Britain for the second consecutive year to pip Finnish rival Mikko Hirvonen to the 2009 World Rally Championship by just one point! It was his sixth consecutive World Rally Championship the most WRC titles and the most consecutive. It was also his 53rd race win extending his record for the most WRC race wins.
A week before that we had another serial record-breaker add a new record to his list. New England Patriots Tom Brady threw an incredible five touchdown passes in the 2nd quarter of their 59-0 demolition of Tennessee Titans. The most touchdown passes in one quarter his fourth Guinness World Record!
While we are talking NFL and multiple record-holders - if Brett Favre doesn’t have enough records already, he has now become the subject of a Guinness World Records attempt! Check here to see how the guys at Sportsnation got on as they attempted the most mentions of a name on a TV show…
Also in last month’s blog I told you to watch out for Leeds Rhinos in the Super League Grand Final...by beating St.Helens 18 points to 10 at Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom, they won their third title in a row the most consecutive Super League titles! Remember you heard it here first!
October “almost” records
While the following are NOT records yet...we are currently researching to see if this incredible effort from Argentina’s Martin Palermo could be the longest headed goal in national top division football??
And as for the longest volleyed goal – Dejan Stankovic has put himself in contention with this amazing effort!
What’s coming up in November?
The tennis season draws to a close next month and the traditional ATP World Tour Finals (the tournament formerly known as the ATP Tour Championships and Tennis Masters Cup) comes to London, United Kingdom for the first time ever. In the 1980s Ivan Lendl won the tournament five times, in the 1990s Pete Sampras matched him, now in the final year of the noughties, Roger Federer is hoping for his fifth title to equal the record for the most wins of the ATP World Tour Finals.
In women’s tennis the Fed Cup (a tournament formerly known as the Federation Cup) has reached it’s climax with the final taking place on 7-8 November. In this year’s edition Italy face off against USA with the States hoping to win their 18th title extending their record for the most wins of the Fed Cup by a team.
What you did this month!!
As always we finish with some records from you guys - congratulations to everybody who set a new Guinness World Records record last month here are just a few highlights of records approved right here in Guinness World Records offices or in situ by one of our official adjudicators.

It's Back! The Original Guinne
- From: gwr_press

Description:
London, UK (22nd of October, 2009) – The global authority on record-breaking achievement, Guinness World Records, today launched an exact replica of the very first “Guinness Book of Records” in a limited and individually-numbered facsimile edition available exclusively for purchase at the company’s website (www.guinnessworldrecords.com).
The phenomenon of Guinness World Records began in September 1955 when the Chairman of the Guinness Brewery, Sir Hugh Beaver, decided to publish a volume of definite facts, in hopes that such a book would put an end to pub arguments. The very first Guinness Book of Records was printed in 1,000 copies with a plastic cover to protect it from beer stains and despite an initial skepticism from retailers (WHSmith ordered five copies), the book became an instant hit, was reprinted and reached bestseller status by Christmas the same year.
55 years later, the current Guinness World Records 2010 edition is published in 26 languages, 3 million copies and sold in 100 countries around the world. Although the popularity of Guinness World Records has remained steady for half a century the world that the record-keeping company measures has certainly seen some changes.
Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records, Craig Glenday, said: “The world is moving at a dizzying pace and we’ve been there documenting and celebrating the changes for half a century. By reproducing our very first edition, we can offer a snapshot of the world in the 1950s and a true sense of how our planet and its inhabitants have changed in the past 55 years.”
“Guinness Book of Records” will take today’s readers back to a time when the most expensive bottle of perfume was Jean Patou’s “joy” from Paris retailing at 103 s. 6d. per ¼ oz (£225 per pint), compared to the current record attributed to the limited edition of Clive Christian No.1 Collection priced at £115,000 ($205,000) per 500 ml (17 fl oz); and the tallest building was the Empire State Building in New York at 448.7 m (1,472 ft), which is nearly half the size of the Burj Dubai, “Dubai Tower,” which today tops out at a record breaking 818 m (2,648 ft).
Readers will also notice that a category such as “uncontrolled drinking,” which is no longer monitored by Guinness World Records, appears in the very first edition with record holders Auguste Maffrey (France) and Spaniard Dionsio Sanchez (Spain), who consumed 24 pints of beer in 52 minutes and 40 pints of wine in 59 minutes, respectively. Other records remain unbroken until this day, including the largest diamond (a 3106 carat diamond found in 1905 in South Africa) and the tallest man ever (American Robert Pershing Wadlow 2.72 m - 8 ft 11.1 in). Not to mention the largest pandemic (Black Death in 1347 eradicating around a quarter of the population of Europe and some 75 million worldwide) - a record which thankfully has not been surpassed in modern times.
"The Guinness Book of Records" facsimile edition is available exclusively on the Guinness World Records website www.guinnessworldrecords.com at £25 in a strictly-limited print-run of 5,000 copies. Each copy is individually numbered as a collector’s item.

Fastest Baseball Pitch Ever?
- From: sclaxton
-
Description:
In honor of the MLB postseason I would like to reference Noam Scheiber's excellent article in Slate called Why can't anyone throw a baseball faster than 100mph?
It's a fascinating question, more so because the record for the fastest pitch has stood for over 50 years. As cited in the article, we have the following listed on our database:
Fastest Baseball Pitch The fastest baseball pitch is 162.3km/h (100.9mph) and was achieved by Lynn Nolan Ryan (then of the California Angels) (b. 31 Jan 1947), at Anaheim Stadium, California, USA, on 20 August 1974.
Scheiber actually refutes this saying that he believes Mark Wohlers is the king of the fastball at 103 mph. We love and accept the information subject to confirmation (!). We are nothing if not here to stimulate such superlative research which we hope does turn the heat of discussion into light.
So as Scheiber asks, if athletic records have been tumbling in smaller or greater increments what's up with the baseball pitch record? Being in the world record business it's a source of intrigue for me as it seems to be more and more difficult to tell when and where sports records will be broken. Before the amazing Usain Bolt, we had no idea the 100 m record was going to be broken. But it was. Twice. But Mr. Bolt and his 9.58 seconds aside, why hasn't anyone thrown a pitch faster than 100 mph?
Scheiber says, the 100-mph ceiling is not an illusion - "it's a basic property of human physiology".
Turns out that if a ball were thrown any faster than 100 mph it could literally rip a pitcher's tendons and ligaments from bone and muscle. He'd throw his arm off! At the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, biomechanical engineer Glenn Fleisig calculated that when a pitcher throws a fastball it exerts around 80 Newton-meters of torque on the elbow. Practising with cadavers, Fleisig found that anything greater than that actually caused the ulnar collateral ligament (the bones that meet at the elbow) to snap.
OUCH!!
I will leave you to enjoy the rest of the article (http://www.slate.com/id/2116402 - it is very good) but in the meantime, what are your thoughts?
Will we ever see the Guinness World Record for the fastest pitch broken in our lifetime?
