On April 14, 2011, Alla Klishta, a participant in the television show Ukraine Got Talent (STB channel), set a Ukrainian record for the number of rotating hoops.
On the eve of the broadcast, in the rehearsal room, in the presence of an expert from the National Register of Records, Alla made 5 full circles of hoops in 6.5 seconds. The countdown began from the moment Alla began to move. In this case, 102 hoops were used.
Previously, the record holder's hoop was carefully measured: the thickness of the hoop was 80 mm, the inner diameter was 90 cm, the weight of one hoop (Hula hoop) was about 200 grams. The total weight of the hoops was 20 kg 400 gr. The name "hula hoop" is derived from the name of the Hawaiian dance "hula" and the English word hoop - a hoop.
The exact number of revolutions was recorded only after watching the video of the record attempt in slow motion.
The number of hoops was chosen for a reason. Alla wanted to break the record set in Belarus 5 years ago. And for the on-air performance in the show, the same bundle of hoops was painted silver.
« I could probably handle more big amount hula hoops, but their weight would become unbearable for me- said Alla Klishta. - During the preparation of the number, I told the creative team of the show that I want to set a record in live. But they reasonably objected to me - such an unexpected move would make the participants' chances to go to the next round unequal. Therefore, the record was set in the rehearsal room in the presence of experts from the National Register of Records. Then repeated it live. Here I must say that I showed a completely new number, it is physically difficult even for me, a trained artist, to perform it. By the end of the performance, she was terribly tired, including from psychological stress - after all, a live broadcast, millions of viewers. But she gathered her will into a fist and demonstrated a record trick with 102 hoops.
This was announced after the completion of the voting of viewers - during the broadcast of the alternative semi-final. Unfortunately, the undertaking with a record did not go unnoticed for health - several vertebrae were displaced. So now I’m going to take a week off for myself.”
The world record is held by Paul Blair, who was able to spin 132 hoops around him at the same time in 2009. According to the rules adopted by the Guinness Book of Records, to fix a record, you must make at least three full turns of the hoops around the body.

The largest hula hoop (51.5 feet in circumference) was swung by American Ashrita Furman on June 1, 2007.
Do you know that the same hoop that the girls in the yard twisted in childhood is an invention of the Americans. The first hula hoops began to be made by toy sellers Richard Knerr and Arthur Merlin, the founders of the California company Wham-O. The unusual name Wham-O meant the sound that their first slingshot toy made. The idea of a hula hoop was suggested to them by a visiting resident of Australia, who told that in his country, in physical education classes, children twist bamboo hoops around their waists.
The first tests of the hula hoop took place in early 1958 in primary school the cities of Pasadena - the partners promised the children to give hoops if they learn how to twist them well. To promote, Knerr and Merlin told Wham-O employees to take the hoop on the plane with them on air travel so that people around would ask what it was.
In April 1958, people lined up in long lines in front of stores to get the coveted little thing. The company began to produce 20 thousand hula hoops a day at factories in seven countries. Since it was not possible to patent the hula hoop, imitative products quickly appeared. According to Wham-O, 25 million hula hoops were sold in four months, and about 100 million in a year. Branded hula hoops cost $ 1.58, which is quite a lot for that time. By the fall of 1958, the market was mostly saturated and sales were on the wane. The hoop was patented only on June 23, 1964.
The name "hula hoop" is derived from the name of the Hawaiian hula dance and the English word hoop (Russian "hoop").
The idea of a hoop, even at that time, was far from new. It can even be said that humanity has been cyclically returning to this hobby since ancient times. During excavations in the northern oases of Egypt, to this day, fossilized hoops are found, which were placed in the grave of Egyptian dignitaries along with household utensils and embalmed slaves. There is a vase in the British Museum that depicts an athlete with a hoop, which is very similar in scale to the modern hula hoop.
In Plutarch's biography of Agesilaus there is a well-known piece about the "round hoop", which was quite widespread in some regions ancient world- there it was made from a vine: “Agesilaus was distinguished at the same time by such obedience and meekness that he carried out all orders not out of fear, but out of conscience: he was more upset by reproaches than hard work. His beauty in his youth made imperceptible bodily vice - lameness. In addition, he endured it easily and cheerfully, he was always the first to laugh at his shortcoming and by this, as it were, corrected him. His dexterity in handling the hoop around the body was so great that none of the boys could compete with him in this matter.
In Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, Anna Page mentions that she "twisted the hoop in the garden" yesterday. There is an opinion among literary scholars that the “wicker hoops” that Robinson Crusoe transported during one of his first travels are hula hoops, which at that time gained great popularity in England, but were imported by sea from the south of Europe. Evelyn Waugh mentions "round, donut-like shells" used for salon entertainment by the jaded British aristocracy of the first half of the 20th century.
In the Soviet Union, the hula hoop appeared in the early sixties, although at first it was not welcome here, calling it a symbol of the emptiness of American culture. The peak of the popularity of hoops came around the same time that the film "Welcome, or No Trespassing" (1964) was made - there is an episode in which one girl watches with envy as another masterfully twists the hula hoop, throwing it from foot to foot. leg.
Interesting hula hoop facts:
For some time in Japan it was forbidden to twist the hoop, because the movements that you make when it rotates were considered indecent by the Japanese. The record for the fastest hula hoop was set by Roxanne Rose, who was able to spin it for 90 hours - from April 2 to April 6, 1987.
In 2008, Jin Linlin entered the Guinness Book of Records for spinning 300 hoops at the same time.
And the people of Bangkok have set a new Guinness world record for mass hoop torsion. 5 thousand participants gathered at the stadium near the Thai capital.
Does hula hoop help you lose weight? In the usual sense of the word, no. But studies have shown that if you regularly twist it for 5-10 minutes a day, then after 2-3 weeks the waist will decrease by one centimeter. This happens due to the fact that the muscles acquire tone, tighten and grow stronger.
The executive director of the Guinness Brewing Company, Hugh Beaver, once argued with friends on a hunting trip over a completely trifling matter: which English bird flies the fastest. Not only could no one shoot her, no one could give an authoritative opinion. The dispute ended in vain. And then it occurred to Hugh that thousands of people all over Britain in pubs daily bet on the most ridiculous topics. It would be good to provide them with an authoritative source to resolve disputes so that they do not kill each other in the heat of the moment. And so the famous Guinness Book of Records appeared.
It was first published in 1955 and has since gained wild popularity in dozens of countries and among millions of people. But over time, among the more or less “frequently used” and understandable record phenomena, absolutely ridiculous champions began to appear. It is unlikely that anyone in their right mind will argue about what is the most long distance a man on fire passed by. But, after reading our material, you can easily topple your opponent on the shoulder blades: 119 meters and 91 centimeters. So that!
Who was the first to throw up in space?
Astronauts go through the most complex training before the flight. Centrifuge testing is one of key points selection and training, but weightlessness tests the strength vestibular apparatus cooler than roller coaster. Even the best of the best are not immune to trouble, and they get dizzy too.
So, our compatriot German Titov was the first to vomit in space, who did it on the Vostok-2 spacecraft on August 6, 1961. In fairness, it must be said that this is not the most important achievement of the Soviet cosmonaut. German Titov - Hero Soviet Union, the youngest cosmonaut in history (he went into space at 25), the first person to fly a spacecraft alone, and the first to photograph and film the Earth from space using a handheld camera and movie camera.
So remember, when you're unsuccessfully fighting "helicopters" while lying in bed after a good party, leave this useless activity and go have a good pee. Well, if astronauts do this, then you definitely have nothing to be ashamed of!
Whoa!
Everyone has a neighbor who is itching to do renovations on Sunday mornings. Don't rush to curse him, maybe he's training for a new Guinness record. In the meantime, the insane achievement belongs to Tai Khui Jang from Germany, who made 148 revolutions around a working drill in a minute. How far he threw his dinner after that we do not know.
I also eat in it.
The head is a very valuable part of your body. For example, it will come in handy to set a world record for the number of hits on it. Not very lucky boxers who had badly trained defense would easily compete here, but we are talking about something completely different. How about hitting yourself on the head? "Great idea!" - Pushkar Nepal thought and did it 134 times in a minute, which won his place in the Guinness Book of Records Hall of Fame.
The biggest and dumbest book ever
Writing or journalism is no easy task, especially when you collect the ten most stupid Guinness records for readers. But this is nothing compared to the feat of the humble Les Stewart from the wonderful town of Mujimba in Australia. He won our hearts.
Les wrote the biggest, dumbest book ever. For 16 years and seven months, he wore out seven typewriters, spent 1000 ink ribbons, almost went deaf from the sound of the keys, but got his way.
19,890 pages filled with words ranging from one to a million. The last line of the ingenious creation reads: "nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine, one million." Why did he do it? Because it can.
On the road
In 1995, an accident occurred in Wroclaw (Poland). The drunk racer ran into a tree at full speed. When the injured driver was taken to the hospital and rescued, the doctors could not believe their eyes. Analyzes showed the presence of 1.48% alcohol in the blood. The lethal concentration of pure alcohol in the blood is 0.5%, and the Pole was still alive. All equipment was checked several times, but repeated analyzes showed the same numbers. Two hours later, the man still died, but by no means from alcohol poisoning. Doctors failed to stop the blood loss due to the fact that alcohol dilated blood vessels and lowered blood clotting. We do not know how much that man weighed, but let's assume that he was a strong eighty-kilogram Pole, and in order to get such a shock dose, he had to drink at least 4 bottles of vodka in one face. Hard to believe, but science is science.
Sleight of hand
I slowly take off your clothes, the room is filled with the muffled light of candles, light romantic music is playing ...
Long preludes, that's all - not our choice. We must act quickly and decisively! Watch and learn: Irishman Sean Murray unfastened 91 bras with one hand in under a minute. Ninety one! With one hand! In just a minute! And you, as always, dig for half an hour with one girl!
Record Recordsmenovich Records
Ashrita Furman has set over 400 records since 1979. You definitely can’t refuse him a rich fantasy. He tried everything possible and became a record holder in many disciplines, perhaps because he was the first to do such tricks. Ashrita juggled while hanging upside down, wore the heaviest boot, hopped some incredible miles, balanced a baseball bat on one finger, twirled the biggest hula hoop, and did a hundred other ridiculous things. To date, he holds the lead in 148 records, which means that someone has already broken the other 252. Truly, the world is full of eccentrics!
The strongest blow to the balls
Hold your breath, you certainly will not want to repeat such a record. Roy Kirby was kicked in the groin with a force of 500 kilograms - from Jesse Smith, a two-meter martial artist. His feet left the floor, but his face remained completely calm, and he made no sound. And all because Roy Kirby, the owner of a black belt in karate, has received such blows more than once - the bones of his pelvis, due to constant training, have become stronger than the bones of an ordinary person, and the nerve endings in the testicles have dulled their sensitivity, and the pain from the blow is not transmitted to Roy's brain.
This specific action was organized by the television show Sports Science, which finds out the physical nature of certain techniques in sports. One can only guess what fee Roy received for the shooting. And yes, Roy is married, has children, and according to him, has no problems in bed - so everything is in order, exhaled.
bearded and happy
Classic ... The most bearded woman in the world - Vivien Wheeler. She grew a beard 30 centimeters long and is proud of it. In general, she is not quite a woman, since she was born with both primary sexual characteristics, but the doctors in her childhood decided everything for her and released her into the world as a sweet girl, cutting off the excess. In her youth, Vivien gave birth to a son, but her husband left her, taking the child. Thirty years later, the family was reunited, the son found his mother, and they are happy! A real bearded Santa Barbara!
Huge Robot Dragon
Length 15 meters, height 5.5 meters, weight 11 tons, walking and breathing fire. This is the world's largest walking robot dragon, which got into the Guinness Book of Records. The German company Zollner Elektronik made it in 2013. The robot is driven by a two-liter diesel engine in 140 Horse power and complex hydraulic system. Each of the four legs has 7 degrees of freedom, which allows it to move quite realistically (if it is appropriate to say "realistic" and "dragon" in one paragraph), it is controlled by nine radio controllers and is equipped with 238 sensors that evaluate its position in space.
Why was it necessary to build it? Damn it, that's a huge walking fire-breathing dragon!
Oh yes! This, of course, is not an individual record. But the record holder may be the first person who does not crap out by meeting this dragon on a dark night in a narrow alley.

In Thailand, there is a situation where buying a sick leave is not a problem. In this regard, the statistics do not reflect the real situation with the incidence in the country.
The previous world record was set in Taiwan in 2011, when 2496 participants continuously twisted hoops for two minutes.
Before record number mass torsion hula hoop was 2290 people. The record was set in 2000 in the neighboring city of Kaohsiung.
