0:00:40 > 0:00:44Today's Officially Amazing Guinness World Record attempts include...
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Our competitive heroes go toe-to-toe in the high-octane,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53high drama world of, er, putting on socks.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57As usual, I look very dapper,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59but which of these is the fastest wrapper?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Welcome to the high-speed world of chip wrapping.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06And Sam and Mark don a lot of underwear
0:01:06 > 0:01:09to prove who is and who isn't pants.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12First, let's head to America for something...
0:01:22 > 0:01:27I'm Al Jackson. Now, I might not be the greatest sportsman on Earth...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34THEY LAUGH
0:01:34 > 0:01:37..but there's one sport I love.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Welcome to Pomona College here in California,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44where our next record attempt involves America's favourite pastime
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- baseball.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52All right, I meant to do that.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54This is Lauren Boden.
0:01:54 > 0:01:5721-year-old Lauren has been pitching baseballs since she was five
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and currently plays for the Chicago Pioneers women's team.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04She's even played for the American All Stars.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07When she was just 15, she set the record
0:02:07 > 0:02:10for the fastest baseball pitch by a female,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and today she's here to try and break that record.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20How fast can you throw a baseball?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- When I set the record I threw 65mph. - 65mph.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25That is unbelievable.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28And you're going to try and beat that record today?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I am. I'm hoping for 70mph.
0:02:30 > 0:02:3170mph!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Now, here's my question - I know you're a pitcher.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- As a catcher, will it really sting? - It can.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- I will say one time I broke some guy's thumb.- OK!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I felt kind of bad about that.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47See, I kind of want to put that to the test.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Do you think, like, maybe you could throw a ball to me?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I don't want to hurt anybody.- OK.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Careful, Al! You're not getting any time off if you get injured!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58'Thanks for your concern, Ben, but I'll be fine.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00'A baseball field is called a diamond.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03'Lauren, the pitcher, stands on the pitcher's mound in the middle.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05'She throws to the catcher. Like this.'
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- You ready Al?- No!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Here it comes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13This is not a good idea.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Whoo!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Oh, ho, ho! My gosh!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I've got one word for you.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26HIGHPITCHED SCREAM
0:03:26 > 0:03:30That woman's got a strong arm, but is it an Officially Amazing strong arm?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, while she gets ready to try and break this record,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35you guys check out the rules.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37A standard baseball must be used.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40The baseball must be pitched from the pitcher's mound
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and be caught by the catcher. That's it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We're going to be tracking the record attempt with this - a radar gun.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Normally police use it to track speeders,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51but today we're tracking down speeding baseballs.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54As a matter of fact, I've got an idea. Hold on one second.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Hey, Lauren, can I have your help? I want to see how fast I can throw.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Would you mind gauging it? All right, please be careful.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03There's going to be a lot of heat coming off this.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06If you want to duck, if you get nervous, don't worry about it, OK?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13All right. That was good.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Bring it over. Let's see. All right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- ROBOT VOICE:- That was rubbish.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21The speed was too slow to be recorded.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23My granny could throw faster.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I think it's broken. Obviously.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- ROBOT VOICE:- I'm not broken. I've seen glaciers move faster.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Go away before you embarrass yourself any further.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Loser. - Leave me alone!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Remember, Lauren already holds the record
0:04:39 > 0:04:41with a speed of 65mph.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45But today she wants to go even faster than that. Can she do it?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It's time to start breaking records.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And I have the person that can do it next to me. Are you ready to go?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- I am.- Are your friends ready to go? THEY CHEER
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Lauren, when you're ready, fire away.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59'Lauren is going to throw three pitches.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01'Official adjudicator Amanda is holding the speed gun.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03'I don't think it likes me.'
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- ROBOT VOICE:- You are correct. I don't like you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08'Quiet! You're disturbing Lauren.'
0:05:10 > 0:05:12THEY CLAP 'Wow, that looked fast!'
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Faster than you. That's for sure.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'm going to take your batteries out in a minute.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Second pitch.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Remember, she's got to throw faster than 65mph
0:05:24 > 0:05:26to beat her own record.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Third pitch.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31She's really coiling the spring for this one.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34THEY CHEER Whoo!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37All right! You're breathing hard. How do you feel that you did?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- I have no idea!- If it's just based on sound, you've got it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I mean, the pop on that glove is unbelievable.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Let's find out how you did officially.- Well, Lauren...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52..you reached a speed of 68mph!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56All right, yeah! THEY CHEER
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Congratulations!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02So proud, you did great!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, you just set a world record. How are you feeling right now?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I feel I could do better.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So let's give it another shot. All right.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12'A true sportswoman.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14'She wants to smash this record.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17'The record this morning was 65mph.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21'Lauren's raised this to 68, but she's not finished yet.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23'Here we go.'
0:06:25 > 0:06:26One,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28two,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31three more blinding pitches.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33All right! THEY CLAP
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Technique, power and consistency. No wonder she's an American All Star.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Looked good, sounded great. Can't wait to find out how you did.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Well, for your first attempt you threw 67mph.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49'Oh, not quite enough!'
0:06:51 > 0:06:54For your second attempt you threw 66mph.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57'Oh, no, that's even slower!'
0:06:57 > 0:06:59And for your third and final attempt...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04..with an official speed of 69mph,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I can confirm that you've set a new Guinness World Record achievement.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Lauren, you're the best,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and I can definitely say that you are Officially Amazing!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18THEY CHEER
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Thanks, Al!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24To Europe now to meet someone who's about to become...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36This is a theme park in Germany where this lady, Maria Falter,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38is going to attempt the Guinness World Record
0:07:38 > 0:07:41for the most liquid retained on a roller coaster using beer steins -
0:07:41 > 0:07:44that's those big glass mugs.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It's an all-new challenge and the rules state
0:07:46 > 0:07:49that at the end of the ride, the challenger must have retained
0:07:49 > 0:07:52at least four litres of water to get the record.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54How do you solve a problem like Maria's?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Well, you practise.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58By jumping on trampolines, by riding on swings
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and even balancing on beer barrels.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03These are just a few of her favourite things.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06But will they have worked? Let's find out.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Safety goggles on, Maria is loaded up with the full steins.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13She has 12 of them, so that's 12 litres of water.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Remember, she needs to have at least four litres at the end.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Streckenverlauf means route,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23and this graphic shows how steep and severe the ride is.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Now, pitschnass is the German for soaking wet,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29a word Maria might be using very soon.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35If you ask me, this record is completely, erm, what's the word?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36# Bonkers... #
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Looks like she got a stein full in the face there!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oh, and again!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I bet the official adjudicator, who's sitting in the back,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46is wishing he'd sat in the front.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Yeah, go ahead and laugh. It's not you, is it?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Maria's hanging on grimly to those mugs. I think she needs a snorkel.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02She's reached the end of the ride, and she knows it doesn't look good.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Fortunately, she always has the sympathy of her friends.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08If this was a record attempt for soaking herself
0:09:08 > 0:09:11and the onboard adjudicator, she would rightly be celebrating now.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14But unfortunately it's all about trying to retain
0:09:14 > 0:09:17four litres of water in those mugs.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19It's time to measure the remaining liquid
0:09:19 > 0:09:21in the over-optimistically large measuring cylinder
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and get the official result.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Is it possible that she's got a brand-new world record?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Er, no.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Missed it by a good two litres.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Unlucky, Maria, but full marks for a very entertaining record attempt.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Cheers! Now from something very German to something...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Officially... - ..British!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- AS DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: - Here, in the British countryside,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52we find the spud.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55One of the planet's most versatile vegetables.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Over six million tonnes are produced in the UK every year,
0:10:01 > 0:10:06giving us potatally amazing foods, like mash...
0:10:08 > 0:10:11..crisps...
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and of course, the champion -
0:10:13 > 0:10:16the great British chip.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Everyone loves a good chip, but do not underestimate the passion
0:10:22 > 0:10:25and the feeling that lies behind these delicious little fellas.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's so intense it's led to out-and-out chippy war.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Today, two titans of the chip shop world will engage in a battle
0:10:36 > 0:10:39that could quite literally be a fight in a chip shop.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41The question is, who will wrap them the quickest?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Our first chippy challenger is Stephanie Celick
0:10:48 > 0:10:50from Maltby in Yorkshire.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Last series she set a new world record,
0:10:52 > 0:10:56wrapping five portions of chips in 58 seconds.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It was an emotional time for all.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01But records are there to be broken.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05And a new contender wants a portion of her chippy glory.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Meet Paul Martin and his chip shop.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11He's a chippy veteran who's hungry for a record.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12And some chips.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So, you're the man who's hoping to take Stephanie Celick's record.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- I am.- Is that fear I see in your eyes?- Maybe a little.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27But respect and the knowledge that you could get this record today.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yes, we've got a good chance.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Excellent! Well, I think it's time for us to meet her again.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36She's the pharaoh of frying, the sultan of salt shaking,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39the viscount of vinegar, the matriarch of mushy peas,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41the... Well, you get the idea.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Most importantly, she's the current world record holder.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Hey, Stephanie. How are you doing? It's good to see you.- You too.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50What does it feel like,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54knowing you're the best at wrapping chips in the world?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57It's good. It's amazing. It's amazing to know that I've got the record.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Yeah. The record that you broke then you've actually broken again?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I have, yes. The record now stands at 51.93 seconds.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Wow. You've shaved a lot of time off there.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Chipping away.- Chipping away. - Very good.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09How's his home advantage going to affect you?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I'm not scared. - You're not scared.- Bring it on.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Yes, Stephanie has come all the way to Paul's shop in Leicester.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20They'll both attempt the record. Will anyone break it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Leeeeeet's get ready to chip wrap!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- ECHOING OVER ANNOUNCER:- Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

0:12:33 > 0:12:35THEY CHEER

0:12:43 > 0:12:45THEY CHEER

0:12:47 > 0:12:51it's the current chip wrap record holder,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Maltby's might, it's Stephanie Celick!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56THEY CHEER
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Right, you two, join me in the front here.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I want a good, clean chip wrap today.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04'As with every proper sporting battle,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08'proceedings start with a good old-fashioned staring competition.'
0:13:10 > 0:13:13'While these ferocious mind games continue,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15'here are the rules.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20'Each of the five portions must weigh at least 350g,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22'have salt and vinegar
0:13:22 > 0:13:25'and remain tightly wrapped in two sheets of paper.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28'Time stops when the last portion is placed on the tray.'
0:13:30 > 0:13:33'That shark must have been going at some speed when he hit that wall!'
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Now, this is where it starts to get serious.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38The tension is rising.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41The atmosphere is such you could cut it with a battered saveloy.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But there's no time for that now, because Paul's up first.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48OK, well, this is the moment of truth, Paul. How are you feeling?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Nervous.- Three, two, one, go.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54'And he's off.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57'Remember, the time to beat is 51.93 seconds.'
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, first wrap.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Taking his time. First wrap's there.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It's staying wrapped and that's a good sign.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06He's really working there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It has to be two sheets. It has to be two sheets.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12'Tremendous hand speed by Paul there, look at his technique.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15'Left hand, then right, and then the roll and fold.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18He's two portions down. Still needs another three.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21'Paul is on "fryer"!'
0:14:21 > 0:14:25He's working double hard, the crowd really trying to gee him up.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27'Can he "hake" the title from Stephanie?'
0:14:27 > 0:14:32He struggled with that sheet and that could add up in the time count.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Salt, vinegar, everything on. Two sheets of paper.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37The crowd is going crazy.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Paul's going a bit doolally himself.- One more!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- There we go. - BELL RINGS
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Five portions done and dusted. Are they heavy enough?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Will they remain wrapped?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Did he do it in the quickest time?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50All these questions need to be answered.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55A slip up on his wrapping sheet cost him time but it still looked fast.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Time for seconds.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00'Champion chipper Celick steps up.'
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Three, two, one, GO!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Oh, strong start. Classic Stephanie Celick moves here.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Really, really fast to begin with.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Remember, she's not on home territory,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14she's working against
0:15:14 > 0:15:16a lot more pressure than she's used to.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19'Oh, but there's a little slip up there.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21'Has that cost her the record?'
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Stephanie's actually brought her own shovel, her own chip shovel,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28she doesn't trust anyone else's.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Three wrapped now, two to go.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- And she's a real blur now. - THEY CHEER
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Wrapping, chipping.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45One more wrap to go and you can be sure Stephanie's determined.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- And that's it. Five wraps down. - BELL RINGS
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Stephanie, come over here.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54OK, Stephanie, five portions of chips wrapped. Are you happy?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- I'm happy.- Good. Do you think it's a record?- I hope so.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Has Stephanie done it again?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Remember, portions must weigh over 350g and stay wrapped.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Official adjudicator Annalise does the weigh in,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10and we're ready to see if a record has been broken.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14OK, this is it. Let's put them out of their misery.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Has there been a new world record set today?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Yes, Ben, I'm happy to confirm there's a new Guinness World Record.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27This is the moment of truth.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Who's it gone to?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33With 50.08 seconds,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Stephanie has broken her Guinness World Record.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- THEY CHEER - Look at that!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41The champion reigns supreme!
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Once again, Stephanie is the fastest chip wrapper on the planet.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I've seen some scraps in my time,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51and Paul gave her a run for her money,
0:16:51 > 0:16:56but in the end he was battered by nearly ten seconds.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Stephanie, we salute you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And now, we salute some other wheelie great record holders.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09# The wheels go round turning all the time
0:17:09 > 0:17:12# Breaking amazing records
0:17:12 > 0:17:16# From the ridiculous to the sublime
0:17:16 > 0:17:19# Really, really radical records
0:17:21 > 0:17:24# Imagine a car that could go underwater
0:17:24 > 0:17:27# That could drive into the sea and become a submarine
0:17:27 > 0:17:31# The Scuba is real and can drive in the ocean
0:17:31 > 0:17:34# What a magic, aquatic, spectacular four-wheeled machine
0:17:35 > 0:17:38# Riding a motorbike isn't so easy
0:17:38 > 0:17:41# And it's harder when you add a back flip, too
0:17:41 > 0:17:45# But 16 motorcyclists flip simultaneously
0:17:45 > 0:17:48# Believe me that's pretty tricky to do
0:17:48 > 0:17:52# The wheels go round turning all the time
0:17:52 > 0:17:55# Breaking amazing records
0:17:55 > 0:17:59# From the ridiculous to the sublime
0:17:59 > 0:18:02# Really, really radical records
0:18:03 > 0:18:06# Well, here's a record that you might consider strange
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Hello!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10# Hitting a golf ball into a moving car
0:18:10 > 0:18:14# It brings a whole new meaning to a driving range
0:18:14 > 0:18:17# The ball flew 250 metres, that's pretty far
0:18:17 > 0:18:20# Now sometimes when you're driving things can get hairy
0:18:20 > 0:18:24# But here's a car that's really rather rare
0:18:24 > 0:18:28# Italian lady Maria Lucia Mugno's set of wheels
0:18:28 > 0:18:31# Are covered in natural human hair
0:18:31 > 0:18:35# The wheels go round turning all the time
0:18:35 > 0:18:38# Breaking amazing records
0:18:38 > 0:18:41# From the ridiculous to the sublime
0:18:41 > 0:18:43# Really, really radical records. #
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Ahhhhh...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Argh!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Hello!
0:18:55 > 0:18:59'This is CBBC's Live in Leeds event
0:18:59 > 0:19:02'and Sam and Mark are here to try and break records.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06'Previously, Mark set a new world record for flipper skipping.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09'Now, their challenge is all about pants.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13'This record is for the most underpants pulled on in 30 seconds.'
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Have you seen pants this big before?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18They're mine, actually.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Sorry, I don't know how they got in there.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22'Here are the rules -
0:19:22 > 0:19:25'one pair of pants should be worn before the attempt.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29'Partici-pants - ha! - can only put on one pair at a time
0:19:29 > 0:19:32'and they need at least 16 pairs in 30 seconds
0:19:32 > 0:19:34'to set a new Guinness World Record.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36'You'll notice the boys are wearing tights.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38'This helps the pants go on smoothly
0:19:38 > 0:19:41'and it also makes them look a bit silly, which I like.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44'Sam's up first. It's pants o'clock.'
0:19:44 > 0:19:48You only have 30 seconds to beat 16.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49I'm really nervous!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Leeds, are you ready?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54CHEERING
0:19:54 > 0:20:00I thought so. OK, let's count him down from three, two, one, go!
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Oh! Already bad!- Come on!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07'Oh, a foot fumble from Sam. That'll slow him down.'
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- How long's left?- Come on, Sam!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Sam is so into this right now.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16'Look at this! He's a pro pants putter-on-er-er.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20'Four pairs on already, setting a quick panty pace.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25'Oh, but he's had a shocker there! Will that cost him?'
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- KLAXON SOUNDS - STOP!
0:20:27 > 0:20:29End of the record?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Crowd, do we think he broke the record?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33CROWD: No!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Was that a no? Oh, dear.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- At least you look good.- Thanks. - Come over here for a minute.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We need to confirm whether this was a record or not.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You achieved eight in 30 seconds.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Not a new Guinness World Record cos you needed 16.- That's terrible.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Let's give him a round of applause anyway.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Keep it light, it was only halfway to the record attempt.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Very well-judged clap, there. - Good luck.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59OK, Mark? You've seen what Sam did.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Do you think you can break a record, first of all?- I'm going to do it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- At the very least, do you think you can beat Sam?- Yeah.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09OK. So the challenge has been set. Sam, come join me.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Come from the underpants arena.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Three, two, one, LET'S GO!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Take your shoes off, man! Take your shoes off!
0:21:17 > 0:21:20He's got his shoes on, Sam, is that going to affect him?
0:21:20 > 0:21:21I don't know, he's looking good.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24'He's really got his knickers in a twist!'
0:21:27 > 0:21:30'The other foot's caught, too! Nightmare!
0:21:30 > 0:21:34'Who knew that putting on pants would prove so problematic?'
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Valuable seconds. Valuable seconds. - Dearie me.- This is good. Go on, man!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40'A slow start, but now his pants are on fire!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- 'Look at him go!' - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:21:43 > 0:21:46STOP!
0:21:46 > 0:21:50And I'm afraid that pair doesn't count, Mark.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Anna, how did that look to you? - Well, unfortunately,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm going to have to disqualify two pants
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- cos they were not properly put on. - What?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Now, that was in flagrant disregard to the rules Mark.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06A sore loser indeed, I fear.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So you only achieved five.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11How many?!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14'No world records here today.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15'Sam and Mark, you were both...'
0:22:15 > 0:22:17..officially pants!
0:22:17 > 0:22:20'And sticking with the underwear theme,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22'here are three guys who'll knock your socks off.'
0:22:31 > 0:22:33This is Officially Competitive,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38the greatest sporting event that's ever taken place.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Going for glory, national pride and Guinness World Records
0:22:42 > 0:22:45are probably the three greatest human beings alive.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50They lock horns in records that you can try at home.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Representing the UK is Sizzling Steve,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58a sizzling stick of record breaking dynamite
0:22:58 > 0:23:02who wears his heart on the sleeves of his Birds of Britain T-shirt.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Stepping up for Japan is Mr Cherry.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The beast from the Far East is a quiet man with a sober wardrobe.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12He's broken more records than you've had plates of sushi.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19The little man from the USA is US Ray.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21He's a lean, mean jumping bean
0:23:21 > 0:23:24who puts the star into stars and stripes.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28To date, Sizzling Steve and Mr Cherry are neck and neck,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30with four epic wins each.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34US Ray is only one behind, on three wins.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38So with two events left, anyone can still win.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Hold on to your fragile heart, here we go again.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47Today's record attempt is for most socks put on one foot in 30 seconds.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52'So, does Mr Cherry think he can sock it to his rivals?'
0:23:52 > 0:23:56The size of your feet, is it really important to get this record right?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- TRANSLATION:- The smaller the feet the better. And I'm a big fella.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02But that doesn't mean I won't win.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Are the socks clean?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- TRANSLATION:- Some are dirty and some are not.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It doesn't really matter to me, love.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14For this record attempt, competitors must start with one sock on.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Each sock must be put on the same foot, one at a time.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21When 30 seconds are up only socks that are fully on will be counted.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25The record to beat is a toe curling 23 socks.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Mr Cherry has emptied his sock drawer for this challenge.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Let's see how he gets on.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Three, two, one, go.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39'And Mr Cherry is off. That looks very speedy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41'He's putting his best foot forward.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45'Six, seven, eight socks already, what a hero!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49'Looks like Mr Cherry has an efficient technique,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52'lining all his socks up in close formation.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55'That kind of preparation is the mark of a record breaking master.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57'Could it make the difference today?'
0:24:57 > 0:24:59KLAXON SOUNDS
0:24:59 > 0:25:01'And that's the time up.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04'That's the fastest I've ever seen anyone put on their socks.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06'Has he done enough to beat the other two?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08'And will we see a new world record?'
0:25:08 > 0:25:10'While the official adjudicator checks his attempt,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12'let's see how US Ray...'
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- How're you feeling?- Great. - Let's get this record. Good luck.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17'..and Sizzling Steve get on.'
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Steve, are you ready? - Yes.- Lovely stuff.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Three...- ..two...- ..one. - Sock it!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Yes, good, strong start.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30'Steve has fanned his socks out in a pungent but graceful arc.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Great style, but will it be fast?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm not sure about Ray's technique.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Each sock has to travel a long way to get to his foot.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Oh, no! A slip!
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Will this cataclysmic error cost Sizzling Steve dear?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Four, three, two, one, stop. KLAXON SOUNDS
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Time's up! A demanding challenge.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Sizzling Steve looks exhausted.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The results are in and in third place is
0:26:00 > 0:26:03US Ray, with 12.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Socks to be you, US Ray.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08In second place is
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Sizzling Steve with 17.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13He's apoplectic with rage.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15You really put your foot in it there, Sizzler.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18So, Mr Cherry de-feeted them both.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21But has he beaten the world record?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Mr Cherry, the record to break was 23.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27The final count is...
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- ..26! - HE SHOUTS
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Incredible!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40He smashed it - 26 socks in 30 seconds.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43That's nearly one sock a second.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Thank you very much! Thank you!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Congratulations.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That victory puts Mr Cherry into the overall lead
0:26:53 > 0:26:55with five wins in total.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Sizzling Steve is one behind, on four,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01and US Ray remains on three.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05In this series, these gladiators have now broken nine world records.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08There's only one event left,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and Sizzling Steve is desperate to draw level.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15You cannot miss the final instalment of Officially Competitive.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Join us next time for magnificent record breakers like these!
0:27:20 > 0:27:23# Well, Lauren pitched so speedily
0:27:23 > 0:27:25# We can hardly see the ball
0:27:25 > 0:27:28# And Stephanie's still the chip wrapping queen
0:27:28 > 0:27:31# She battered poor old Paul
0:27:31 > 0:27:32# Maria rode a roller coaster
0:27:32 > 0:27:34# But the water completely soaked her
0:27:34 > 0:27:36# Sam and Mark didn't stand a chance
0:27:36 > 0:27:39# When they put on loads of pants
0:27:39 > 0:27:42# And Cherry socked it to Ray and the Sizzler
0:27:44 > 0:27:47# It's all Officially Amazing! #
