0:00:19 > 0:00:24# Officially, officially, officially... Amazing! #

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Hello, I'm Ben Shires

0:00:28 > 0:00:31and welcome to Officially Amazing, the show that brings you

0:00:31 > 0:00:33the fiercest...

0:00:33 > 0:00:37fastest...and most adrenaline fuelled Guinness World Records

0:00:37 > 0:00:39and record attempts out there.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43Shortly we will be witnessing a super-cool record attempt

0:00:43 > 0:00:45involving my favourite fruit, the apple.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- CRUNCH! - Mm...

0:00:55 > 0:01:00CBBC stars Sam and Mark take on one of the silliest records

0:01:00 > 0:01:01we've ever had.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Saving becomes fun in an officially competitive

0:01:06 > 0:01:10coin-to-piggy-bank challenge requiring blinding speed.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16And these lightning-quick pooches give a whole new twist

0:01:16 > 0:01:18on the game of fetch.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22But first, hold on to your apples for...

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Argh!

0:01:30 > 0:01:35Long, long ago in the faraway land of Japan, there lived

0:01:35 > 0:01:38an officially amazing ninja.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42This ninja guarded the magic temple where all Officially Amazing

0:01:42 > 0:01:44records took place.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47One day, some evil bandits stormed the grounds -

0:01:47 > 0:01:51their aim, to vanquish all record attempts.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Officially Amazing Ninja had to act fast to ensure the amazingness

0:01:56 > 0:02:00could continue for the joy of mankind.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07And so began the battle of thingybob.

0:02:08 > 0:02:13Legends tell of a mega-scrap culminating in Amazing Ninja

0:02:13 > 0:02:16sending the bandits well and truly packing.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21Leaving the temple free once more for new record attempts.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Have you guessed who this mysterious warrior is?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- It's me, Haruka!- I knew it!

0:02:30 > 0:02:34OK, I'm not a ninja, but today we are going to meet a real one.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39For 600 years, ninjas have been highly-trained spies and assassins

0:02:39 > 0:02:43but thankfully today it's apples, not enemies, heading for the chop.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Meet Ninja Tomoko, today he will be putting his skills to the test

0:02:49 > 0:02:53in possibly our most dangerous record attempt ever

0:02:53 > 0:02:57for the most apples cut in the air by a sword in one minute.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Konnichiwa!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I, Ninja. Konnichiwa.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, how dangerous is this record?

0:03:11 > 0:03:16TRANSLATION: The sword is very heavy and sometimes my hand lets go.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20You can easily take your fingers right off. Right off, I said!

0:03:20 > 0:03:22That's a lot of blood.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24You should definitely not try this at home.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28It is so dangerous, even the most highly trained professionals

0:03:28 > 0:03:33still get hurt. Ninja Tomoko has been doing this for many years.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Well, as Ninja Tomoko gets ready by channelling

0:03:36 > 0:03:41the spirit of the great warriors of the past, here's the rules.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Ninja Tomoko must throw each apple into the air, unsheathe his sword,

0:03:44 > 0:03:47slice through the apple and resheathe it.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51That's putting it away again, carefully avoiding his fingers,

0:03:51 > 0:03:53all before taking the next apple.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57And Ninja Tomoko must slice 30 or more apples in 60 seconds

0:03:57 > 0:04:01to regain the Guinness World Record he once held.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Here we are, all set in the beautiful grounds of Oshi Castle.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Ninja Tomoko, are you going to win this back?- Ha-ha-ha!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Ninja Warriors, are you ready?

0:04:15 > 0:04:16Yes!

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Go! Here we go.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24The blade has to chop through the apple - a thin slice will do.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27That's one. The apple needs to be cut into separate pieces,

0:04:27 > 0:04:32so that one is no good. Another clean cut, that's two.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Ninja Tomoko straight into his stride.

0:04:35 > 0:04:4029 to beat and he's looking good, but the sword is so heavy.

0:04:40 > 0:04:46At around 1kg, it is like constantly swinging a litre of water around.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Ooh, didn't quite slice all the way through there. That won't count.

0:04:50 > 0:04:56He needs to slice every two seconds. Sensational swordsmanship.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, no. A bit of a fumble there.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01He's having trouble sheathing his sword.

0:05:02 > 0:05:07It's so sharp, he has to be careful he doesn't slice his fingers on it.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Come on, Ninja Tomoko! Stop.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17That was fantastic slicing and cutting.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19What do you think, how did you get on?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21TRANSLATION: I did my best.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24The official adjudicator counting the apples.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Did he slice 30 or more and get his record back?

0:05:28 > 0:05:31What you have achieved now is...

0:05:31 > 0:05:3325.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Are you going to try again?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39TRANSLATION: Go on, then, I'll do one more.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41While Ninja Tomoko rests his tired hands

0:05:41 > 0:05:45and prepares for his next attempt, let's leave him briefly

0:05:45 > 0:05:50and head to Italy for a very bizarre-looking record.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52These three women are going to attempt to break

0:05:52 > 0:05:57the record for fastest 10m whilst in the box split position.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00This is the box split position.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Hm, that looks painful.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07A 180-degree angle of the legs while sitting on the floor.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11The ladies must get from here to here as fast as they can

0:06:11 > 0:06:14and up first is Italian Irene Betty.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17She needs to beat 19.11 seconds.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22And she's off. Come on, Irene! Are those legs at 180 degrees?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Hm, unorthodox pincer movement, determination

0:06:25 > 0:06:27and pain etched on her face.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31She's reached the finish in a rapid time of 13.39 seconds

0:06:31 > 0:06:34but the judges don't look happy.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh, and Irene has been disqualified

0:06:36 > 0:06:40because those legs just aren't at 180 degrees.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Next, fellow Italian Irene Crochet.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46What is it with Italian women called Irene and box splits?

0:06:46 > 0:06:50And how do you find out you're good at this unusual sport?

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Never mind that, Irene II is off.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54She is going for the toilet plunger technique.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58And that floor is getting shinier by the second.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Again, not sure about the angle of her legs.

0:07:01 > 0:07:0319.81 seconds for Irene II...

0:07:03 > 0:07:06but it's a second disqualification.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Poor Irene II, all that plunging for no glory.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Can the third and final competitor succeed?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's Kazumi Kawahara from Japan.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18What, not an Irene? Surely her technique can't be any weirder.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Oh, yes, it can!

0:07:21 > 0:07:25It is like an octopus impersonating an injured swan in a phone box

0:07:25 > 0:07:30and I like it. She's certainly making some waves out there.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31And she's crossed the line!

0:07:31 > 0:07:35But has she done so quickly enough?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Yes, she has!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Not only has she not been disqualified,

0:07:38 > 0:07:41but with a time of 16.9 seconds,

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Kazumi Kawahara has a new Guinness World Record -

0:07:45 > 0:07:50speedier, stranger, smilier and splittier than the rest.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51Congratulations, Kazumi!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Right, talking of splits, let's head back to Japan to see

0:07:55 > 0:07:59if Ninja Tomoko is ready to regain his apple-splitting world record.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Well, he's had one go and managed 25,

0:08:05 > 0:08:09but he needs to chop at least 30 to get his record back.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Plasters protecting his sore, tired fingers.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19His fellow warriors are channelling the ninja spirit,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21willing him on to victory.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26There, he is the most-ready man I have ever seen.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Is everybody ready? Go!

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Remember, he needs at least 30 to regain the record.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Total miss there.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Amazing accuracy, a real slice of genius.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51His sword is just so heavy, it's even harder second time around.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Come on, Ninja Tomoko! Let's slash this record.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Again, having trouble resheathing his sword.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05So dangerous! Unless you've trained for years and years

0:09:05 > 0:09:10in a secret Japanese ninja school, never try to cut apples like this.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Come on! A miss.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15- No!- Stop.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Oh, you look so exhausted. - TRANSLATION: I'm sorry, love.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25I can't go on.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28I still needs to double check, so let's do this.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31'29 is the record to beat - has he done it?'

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Please tell us.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Yes.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39You have now successfully cut...

0:09:41 > 0:09:4526 apples.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53It's so close and he's tried so hard.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56His hand is aching, he can hardly lift it, but he showed us

0:09:56 > 0:10:03he is a 100% dedicated super-ninja and he is 100% amazing.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Silly, silly, silly!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Ha-ha-ha!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Oh.... - SPLAT!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29I've always fancied doing some Officially Amazing

0:10:29 > 0:10:31record-breaking on the big stage

0:10:31 > 0:10:36and so I've come to the CBBC Live event here in Leeds to do just that.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Over the course of three days,

0:10:38 > 0:10:41thousands and thousands of people will be witnessing

0:10:41 > 0:10:45all kinds of fantastic things going on on that stage right behind me

0:10:45 > 0:10:46and I'm going to be part of it.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49I've got my guitar and I'm ready to rock!

0:10:50 > 0:10:53HISSING

0:10:55 > 0:10:59OK, so no record-breaking for me today. Luckily these two are here.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Ladies and gentlemen,

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I give you Sam and Mark.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09They're keen on getting a Guinness World Record

0:11:09 > 0:11:12without even knowing what the challenge is.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15I would absolutely love to have a world record. In anything.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Skipping in flippers?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Yes, the boys will be donning these to attempt the record for...

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Who is the most competitive out of you?

0:11:28 > 0:11:33I think usually it's me, but you've got a glint in your eye.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Without flippers, I'm pretty good at skipping. That's all I'm saying.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- This could happen for me. - It's within your grasp?

0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Yes. And he beats me at everything usually.- Could it be Sam's day?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Probably not. See you later. - See you, guys.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49While the boys go off for a practice,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52let me run you through the rules.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54If a flipper comes off, they can put it back on,

0:11:54 > 0:11:56but the clock won't stop.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01And they need to skip at least 50 times in 60 seconds.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06The last-minute checks are complete. Time for my big moment on stage.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Let's bring out Sam and Mark!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14Nice look, guys. Very smart indeed.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Right, here we go. Mark is up first.

0:12:17 > 0:12:18He's really good!

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Who knew the man had such hidden talents?

0:12:24 > 0:12:29How does he even know how to do this? Very good technique here.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Sam is shaking in his flippers watching this. Remember, 50 to beat.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Time's up. It looked great but how did he do?

0:12:38 > 0:12:44- Over to official adjudicator Anna. - You achieved 63!- Wow!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47He's smashed the target and gained himself a new,

0:12:47 > 0:12:50if bizarre, world record.

0:12:50 > 0:12:55Incredible work from Mark. And now the pressure is really on for Sam.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56My shirt is coming off!

0:12:56 > 0:13:01Can he break the record and do more than 63 skips in his minute?

0:13:01 > 0:13:06Three, two, one, go!

0:13:06 > 0:13:08And now Sam is off to a good start.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12His socks are pulled right up - perhaps a tactic.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16But he's starting to lose it.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19He is hopping mad. Come on, Sam.

0:13:19 > 0:13:24He will need to pick up the pace. Oh, no! That's it.

0:13:25 > 0:13:31Anna, it's over to you. Can you put Sam out of his misery?

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Yes, so Sam...

0:13:32 > 0:13:35You achieved 55!

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Sam should still be proud.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39He beat the target,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41but in the end Mark was just too good,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44too surprisingly, weirdly good.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49You are officially amazing.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Now over to the USA for something...

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Welcome to West Palm Beach, Florida,

0:14:03 > 0:14:05site of our next record attempt

0:14:05 > 0:14:07that's taking place right here in this body of water.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10I tell you what, Al, it's lovely and warm in here.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11Will you pop in for a paddle?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Ben, where you're from, there may be a goldfish or two,

0:14:14 > 0:14:17this is America, buddy. We have alligators in our water.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19PP-F-FRRRT!

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Al, why didn't you show me that sign earlier?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Lucky for us, this next guy is not afraid of any alligators.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Let's check it out. This is American kayaking colossus Randy Fine.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32What a name! What a man!

0:14:32 > 0:14:36He's been kayaking for over 30 years, although not nonstop.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38He's held a number of records,

0:14:38 > 0:14:42including the 24-hour open-ocean kayaking record,

0:14:42 > 0:14:45where he paddled an incredible 120.6 miles

0:14:45 > 0:14:49and he has a magnificent moustache.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Swoon.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Hey, Randy. How's it going? Is it all right if we have a chat?

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Sure, I've got some gear over there for you

0:14:56 > 0:14:58to get into and then come on out.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00'I'll show you how it's done, Al. Kayak is my middle name.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03'I thought it was Leslie. Shh!'

0:15:03 > 0:15:04I'm already doing better than you.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06At least I got... At least I'm seated.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Yes, but you're on land.- That's a technicality we'll get to later.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Here goes nothing!

0:15:12 > 0:15:17- Oh, no, mine is going... - Now who's doing better at kayaking?

0:15:17 > 0:15:19'This is how it's done.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22'No. Maybe not.'

0:15:22 > 0:15:23You don't have a clue.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27'Meanwhile... Uh-oh! Me neither.'

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Oh, I've got it now. Oh! Why don't we see if Randy'll come over here?

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yes, good idea.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38The reason I was so bad out there, Randy,

0:15:38 > 0:15:40is that I was worried about alligator attacks.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Are there any here?- Yes, I've seen quite a few through the years.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Have you ever been attacked by one?

0:15:45 > 0:15:47I've had them lift the kayak out of the water.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49I see them frequently, they come in the water

0:15:49 > 0:15:51but I can get away from them.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53For training for the record, I'll do whatever it takes.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Randy, what is the record you're going for today?

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I'm going for the most consecutive

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Eskimo rolls with a paddle in one minute.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03This is an Eskimo roll.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06It's a complete 360-degree turn of the kayak

0:16:06 > 0:16:11and is named in honour of the Eskimo people who first developed the boat

0:16:11 > 0:16:12and the skill of rolling it.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16It's exhausting, dizzying and requires a huge amount

0:16:16 > 0:16:19of physical strength to bring the kayak back round.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Randy needs to complete 35 rolls in one minute

0:16:22 > 0:16:24to set this new world record.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28That's more than one roll every two seconds, and that's a lot of rolling.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32And unfortunately, Randy came up short in his first two attempts,

0:16:32 > 0:16:35getting 27 the first time and 26 the second.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Both incredible feats of strength, but not enough to get the record.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42His energy sapped, he heads out one more time.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47- This is his last chance to beat 35. Come on, Randy!- Ready.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Three, two, one.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52HOOTER

0:16:53 > 0:16:54First roll.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Second roll.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Third roll, he's on a roll!

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Amazing effort by Randy.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Spinning so fast his moustache is a furry blur.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Remember, 35 is the target.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11He's going so fast he must be feeling dizzy.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- You can do it, Randy. - This is unbelievable.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16It's the final push. Come on, Randy!

0:17:16 > 0:17:18HOOTER

0:17:18 > 0:17:23- Stop.- Well, that looked amazing to me, but was it officially amazing?

0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Did Randy get 35 rolls or more? - You had...

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- ..27 again.- Excellent.- Look at that.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Great job.- Thank you very much.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Randy incredibly upbeat there, despite being eight rolls short

0:17:40 > 0:17:43of the target and not getting a Guinness World Record today.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45But if you ask me,

0:19:52 > 0:19:57Time now to check-in with our officially competitive contestants.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01The trio that compete each show to break world records

0:20:01 > 0:20:02you can try at home.

0:20:02 > 0:20:08Representing the United States, it's the flipping marvellous US Ray!

0:20:09 > 0:20:13For the UK, is the slightly less energetic Sizzling Steve.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17And for Japan it's the King of Koi, Mr Cherry.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23With four different events completed, the competition is tight.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Sizzling Steve and US Ray have one victory each.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31But leading the way with two wins and two Guinness World Records,

0:20:31 > 0:20:33it's Mr Cherry.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Today's officially competitive Guinness World Record attempt

0:20:36 > 0:20:41is fastest time to deposit 20 coins into a piggy bank.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45SOUNDS easy enough. Although not when you are blindfolded.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47I caught up with the Sizzle Man

0:20:47 > 0:20:51to get a penny for his thoughts on this record attempt.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- How confident are you of grabbing this record?- Quite confident.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Quietly confident?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Well, I wouldn't say put the pork on the barbecue yet,

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- but we'll find out.- I don't think that's a phrase, is it, Steve?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Put the pork on the barbecue? - Well, it's a new phrase now.

0:21:04 > 0:21:05Here are the rules.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Two tables need to be positioned 1.5m apart

0:21:08 > 0:21:12with the piggy bank on one and the 20 coins on the other.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Only one coin can be picked up at a time

0:21:14 > 0:21:17and the blindfold must stay on for the whole attempt.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21The record to beat is 36.01 seconds. Let's get banking.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Steve, assume your position, please.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30OK, we'll count you in. Three, two, one...

0:21:30 > 0:21:31piggy bank!

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Sizzling Steve has opted for the 2p piece as his coin of choice.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37You can use any coin you like if you try this at home.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39He's got that motion going, excellent.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43He needs to be quick if he's going to bring home the bacon for Britain.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Yes, keep it up now. That is one greedy pig.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51But The Sizzler is slotting these coins nicely in the UK piggy bank.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Come on, Steve.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Come on, Steve.- Stop.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yes. Oh, that felt quick.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01But will Sizzling Steve have been quicker

0:22:01 > 0:22:03than his rivals in the USA and Japan?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Ray, the quarters are in position, I'm going to count you in.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Mr Cherry, are you ready?- OK.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Three...

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- ..two...- ..one, go.- Begin.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Cherry is looking fast, he may be blindfolded,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23but he is at one with the Japanese piggy bank.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Maybe kneeling is helping.

0:22:25 > 0:22:31Each is using his own country's currency. Cents and Japanese yen.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35My main man Ray has found his rhythm. But it's not a fast one.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39That little American piggy is filling up quite slowly.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Aye!- Yes, Mr Cherry has stormed his attempt.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46- It seemed very speedy to me. - Just waiting for Ray.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Still waiting.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54At last.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58The results are in, and as expected, in third place is US Ray,

0:22:58 > 0:23:02with a pigging-slow time of 52.84 seconds.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07Way slower than the current record of 36.01 seconds.

0:23:07 > 0:23:12So who is the victor today, and have they beaten it?

0:23:12 > 0:23:15What you have achieved now is...

0:23:15 > 0:23:1834.31 seconds.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Congratulations.

0:23:20 > 0:23:27Jubilant scenes in Japan. Mr Cherry has broken the world record.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30GRUNTS Give me money!

0:23:30 > 0:23:33But it's not over yet.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37What about our man, Sizzling Bacon?

0:23:37 > 0:23:39You managed...

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Is it time to throw the pork onto the barbecue?

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Still not a phrase.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49..33.69 seconds.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Oh, it is! I can't believe it!

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Sizzling Steve has snatched victory,

0:23:54 > 0:23:57beating Mr Cherry by less than a second

0:23:57 > 0:24:00and claiming an officially amazing world record.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04That brings him level with Cherry overall in the competition,

0:24:04 > 0:24:06with two wins each.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Join us next time for another thrilling chapter

0:24:09 > 0:24:10of Officially Competitive.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Now, something...

0:24:24 > 0:24:26It can be a dog's life being a TV presenter.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Always chasing your tail,

0:24:28 > 0:24:30continuously having to be well groomed,

0:24:30 > 0:24:33sleeping in a basket. Or is that just me?

0:24:33 > 0:24:38And it's no wonder I'm always dog tired on Officially Amazing.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40I'm forever having to learn new scripts.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42- I'll have that.- Oi! Oi!

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Oh, I'll never be able to catch him.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47That's Mark, who is part of...

0:24:47 > 0:24:48the Jets.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53A quartet of dogs who are masters at the art of flyball.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57It's a competition where a team of four dogs take it in turns

0:24:57 > 0:24:59to run over four hurdles,

0:24:59 > 0:25:03hit a spring-loaded pad, thus releasing a ball which they catch

0:25:03 > 0:25:06and carry back over the course in the fastest time they can.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10When they reach the finish, the next dog on their team sets off

0:25:10 > 0:25:14and does the same until all four dogs have finished this relay.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18The current record is a lightning-quick 14.55 seconds.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21And these are the dogs aiming to beat it.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25Boss Wayne is helping to lead them to glory. Wayne, lovely to meet you.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29I won't shake your hand, but I will shake Fly's paw. Hello, Fly!

0:25:29 > 0:25:30All right, Ben, how you doing?

0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Four dogs up and down the course in less than 15 seconds.- Yes.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38- That's really fast, isn't it?- It is. - Do you think your four can beat it?

0:25:38 > 0:25:43- I'm not guaranteeing it, it's all down to...- Don't listen to him.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Have a bit more faith in us, will you, Wayne?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Oh, right, so if there's any error,

0:25:48 > 0:25:50- it's human error, not doggy error. - Correct.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51Here we go, then.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54The crowd are excited, the Jets are excited,

0:25:54 > 0:25:56but can they break that record?

0:25:58 > 0:26:02It's Badger out first, 14.55 seconds to beat.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Woof, that was quick!

0:26:04 > 0:26:09Here goes Gus. The changeover section is all-important.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12This is where crucial time can be lost or gained.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16This is not speeded up, by the way. They are lightning quick.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17And that's Mark now.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24And last but not least, it's Fly.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29You can see why they call him Fly.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- HOOTER - That's it.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33That's it, it's over like that.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37- What was rather exciting, wasn't it? - You can say that again.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40That was rather exciting, wasn't it?

0:26:40 > 0:26:42It certainly was.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44The Jets ran spectacularly quickly,

0:26:44 > 0:26:49but with 14.55 seconds to beat, was it fast enough?

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Let's find out from official adjudicator Annabel

0:26:52 > 0:26:55if the Jets have a new Guinness World Record.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Unfortunately, they just missed out.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00With a time of 16.94 seconds,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03unfortunately they weren't fast enough.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07But I'm sure the glorious Jets will return soon to break a record.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12And if all goes to prove that breaking records is

0:27:12 > 0:27:14an incredibly tough thing to do.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17But, as long as there are records to break,

0:27:17 > 0:27:21here at Officially Amazing, we will keep rooting

0:27:21 > 0:27:24for the people and animals that attempt to break them.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28# Well, Cherry got jiggy when he thought he'd filled his piggy

0:27:28 > 0:27:30# So fast that he had won

0:27:30 > 0:27:33# But would you believe that Sizzling Steve

0:27:33 > 0:27:35# Was on the money with the blindfold on?

0:27:35 > 0:27:37# Moustachioed Randy got close

0:27:37 > 0:27:39# Spinning out into the water like oaks

0:27:39 > 0:27:41# The Jets weren't quite fast enough

0:27:41 > 0:27:43# Kazumi's splits gave the floor a good bump

0:27:43 > 0:27:46# And Ninja Tomoto's dreams went up in smoke

0:27:47 > 0:27:51# It's all Officially Amazing! #
