You guys.... If I start acting all high and mighty and way cooler than you all of the sudden, it's for good reason. As of Friday morning, I'm now a Guinness World Record holder.
Okay, I'm one of 1085 people who became one, but still! We all came together in the sleeting weather to do a cartwheel at one time, and it was freaking awesome!
Here's a simple video from the Virginian Pilot:
I did a one-handed one because I wanted to try and capture the moment [and try to get Corey and our radio friend JoJo's first ever cartwheels on tape]... This is the result:
Seriously, it seems so simple, but we felt so accomplished, and I still feel pretty effing cool. To the gyms who helped put this on and all the people who came out: THANK YOU!
I always thought my teammates and I were really strong kids growing up in the gym... Then I saw this 5 year-old and realized we were basically nothing.
First of all, he's Romanian. Romanians are crazy about their strength, health, whatever... And they always produce amazing gymnasts at a super young age. I have no idea if this kid does real gymnastics, but if he doesn't, he needs to ASAP.
Anyway, he just got the Guinness World Record for Strongest Kid after doing this handstand walk with a medicine ball.
Absolutely. INSANE!!!
You may think "this isn't that cool" but you have to remember-- HE'S FIVE YEARS OLD!!!!
Wow. He's totally Olympic-bound 2024 if he sticks with it, so remember the name and face!
The Summer of Death strikes AGAIN!!!! Another legend is down and out.
The oldest dog to ever live, Chanel, died Friday in her hometown in New York. She was 21 1/2 in human years, over 150 in dog years!
She had cataract problems and also had to wear a t-shirt in the summer and sweater in the winter because as she got older, she could feel the temperature changes a lot more.
