Are you capable of becoming a World Record Holder?

[webfact]

 

Recently I read about a 53-year-old man in the Philippines who is training to become a Guinness World Record holder by breaking the fastest 100 metres run backwards!

At 72 years old perhaps the only record that springs to mind is I could try to break the falling asleep in front of the TV record perhaps.

We have all read about some of the crazy stunts people get up to.

What is the most unique world record?

•    Longest metal coil passed through the nose and out of the mouth. ...
•    World's tallest dog.

 

Here are a few World Records to break while you are stuck at home

Thailand’s own World Records

Thailand holds a few records themselves like when the country celebrated a new Guinness world record for the biggest Mango Sticky Rice at 4,500 kilos.

The largest Thai dance was achieved by 5,255 participants at an event organised by Udon Thani Municipality at the Prince Prajak Silpakom Monument, Udon Thani, Thailand, on 18 January 2014.

 

If you also want the fame of becoming a record-holder according to The Guinness World Record website you will require determination, extraordinary skills, and commitment. 

Before applying for an existing record, you will need to check the current Do you think you could break a Guinness World Record? information and make sure you’ve got what it takes to break the record.

 If you are suggesting a new record idea, they recommend that you spend some time searching their current records to see what may already have been achieved in your area of expertise. 

Every newly approved record idea must be significantly different from existing records and demonstrate a completely new skill. 

 

Being the first to suggest a record does not immediately qualify for acceptance, with around 60% of applications for new records being rejected. 

However, they are always looking for exciting new ideas to reflect the world’s diversity.

Check the What makes a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record title page and familiarise yourself with our record breaking criteria and policies.

https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records/what-makes-a-guinness-world-records-record-title/ 

 

Each record title must fulfil all the following criteria. They must be:

•    Measurable – Can it be measured objectively? What is the unit of measurement? We do not accept applications based on subjective variables. For example - beauty, kindness, loyalty.
•    Breakable – Can the record be broken? Our record titles must be open to being challenged.
•    Standardisable - Can the record be repeated by someone else? Is it possible to create a set of parameters and conditions that all challengers can follow?
•    Verifiable - Can the claim be proven? Will there be accurate evidence available to prove it occurred?
•    Based on one variable - Is the record based on one superlative and measured in one unit of measurement?
•    The best in the world - Has anyone else done better? If your record suggestion is new, then Guinness World Records will set a challenging minimum requirement for you to beat.

 

Invite an adjudicator
There's nothing quite like the presence of an Official Guinness World Records Judge to create a sense of prestige, attract media and enhance the emotional connection between your brand and audience.

 

Is applying for Guinness World record free?
All existing record titles (those already in our records database) are free of charge through the standard application process. If you want to apply for a new record title (something that you cannot find in our database), a non-refundable administration fee of £5/$5 (plus VAT) applies.

I am a record holder with those thieves. I wrote to them about something I've done that is repeatable and verifiable. Cost me $5 USD. They assured me there was no one else holding that record and for $1000 USD it would be entered into their records. Yeah, no.

I'm the world record holder having met the largest number of dumb stupid people.....????????

 

[swm59nj]

Maybe from all the nonsense I had to endure in the past three years living here.  Could be worlds record. 
It’s more in those years here than I have experienced in my whole life

[Lopchan]

I think a lot of forum members would be vying for the world records  "most criminal cases solved from a barstool" and "most derogatory remarks made about their host country"

We’re you going for world record gullibility?  I only paid 500 USD for that, but it was a while back

Chavs for example

[The Hammer2021]

I wish  I'd known  about the dance in Udon Thani.

My only potential  record was 13 orgasms with 11 different girls in a 20 hour period  in Bangkok around 2009

I don't understand the remark. Thailand  is the most easy  straightforward  place to live in for a foreigner. There is no nonesense compared to Indian  Bureaucracy,  British  pettiness,  Arabian rules  and regulations, American culture, French...etc.
