The father-daughter duo of Terry "Turbo" Burrows and Aliscia made headlines as they broke the Guinness World Records for the largest fruit and oldest four-crew row across the Atlantic. While Aliscia picked a 20.4g "monster fruit", her father rowed his way into the record books, along with his female crew. However, not all records have been accepted by Guinness, including the claim of a 192-year-old giant tortoise named Jonathan and a tower built with the wrong type of matches. Aspiring record breaker Jack Scadden also hopes to raise money for charity in the process.
Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge shattered the men's world marathon record in Berlin with an incredible performance, finishing with a time of 2:01:38. This marked a new benchmark for one of the oldest and most prestigious events in the sporting world. Kipchoge's feat has solidified his status as one of the greatest marathon runners of all time, with many hailing his race as the most impressive in history.
