New Zealand Woman Sets Guinness World Record for Fastest Barefoot 100 Meter Sprint Over LEGO Bricks
Gabrielle Wall of Christchurch, New Zealand, has pulled off a feat that sounds like pure childhood torture and turned it into a world record.
She set the Guinness World Record for the fastest 100-meter sprint barefoot over random LEGO bricks, finishing in just 24.75 seconds. Guinness shared when announcing her accomplishment.
“Running 100 m is quite the challenge for anyone, but imagine trying to do that while barefoot and over lego pieces on the ground!”
The record-breaking sprint wasn’t just about endurance and pain tolerance, it was also built on community support. The LEGO track was created with a massive donation of bricks from the New Zealand non-profit Imagination Station.
“The track was made using 300 kg (661 lb) of LEGO that was donated by the charity Imagination Station, a New Zealand organization that uses LEGO in its educational robotics and mechanics classes for kids.”
Wall’s achievement is now etched in Guinness history.
