Facebook Live Rewind: Jenga Towers, strongmen, and spinning acrobats

Each week at Guinness World Records, we'll be rounding up the recent highlights from our incredible live broadcasts on our official Facebook page.

Featuring fascinating live record-breaking action and interviews from around the world, our broadcasts also give our viewers the chance to ask our talented title holders a question or two.

If you missed any of the action from the past week - no worries, we’ve gathered up a selection of the best videos for you to watch below.

We kicked off the week with a fun new episode of Asha Attempts, this time with special guest and YouTube star Nicole Arbour. At the International Chess Park in Santa Monica, California, Asha and Nicole got together to take on a few board game themed record titles. The pair tried their hand at Fastest time to arrange a chess set (team of two), using an interesting rhythmic method involving dancing and matching track suits. With spirited efforts, Asha and Nicole took on the individual category as well as tackling the pair record to see who would become the chess champion.





Later that day, Asha took on another Guinness World Records challenge, this time for the Fastest Jenga Tower - extra 10 levels by an individual, requiring her to stack ten tiers of bricks using one hand on top of a standard 18-level tower. Watch in the video below as Asha gives the record her best shot at beating the current mark of 30.78 seconds, with videographer Evan popping out from behind the camera to to go head to head with our presenter to see who make some block building history.







Our team worked its way over to Australia for our next live video, which featured a special guest from the ongoing Adela!de Festival. There, our host The Space Cowboy met up with “the world’s smallest strongman” to see if he was able to obtain the record for Most playing cards torn in half in one minute. Goliath is a rather accomplished strongman, able to lift two and a half times his body weight, as well as holding three gold medals from the World Dwarf Games. While he attempts a “speed based” record in this particular video, the act of ripping a deck of cards in half is actually a skill performed by some of our most resilient record holders. With a few sneak peeks to show the magnitude of his strength, such as breaking a steel chain around his neck, you find out in the video below if Goliath became an official Guinness World Records title holder.
