New strongman record with a fireman’s carry
This month the 51 year old strongman set his 103rd Guinness record – he holds 30 current official records – by carrying a person of exactly his own weight in a Fireman’s Carry position for one mile in fifteen minutes. After the race they even had to revive him with a firefighter SCBA. On hand to verify Ashrita’s record was Stuart Claxton, head of Guinness’s U.S. research team. Other record attempts also took place around the world to commemorate Guinness Record Day.
