0:00:48 > 0:00:49'Over in America,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54'this lady is head under heels for a hoppy record attempt.'
0:00:54 > 0:00:56MUSIC: Army Of Me by Bjork
0:00:57 > 0:01:00'This is one of the most dangerous and death-defying records
0:01:00 > 0:01:03'we have ever had on Officially Amazing.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04'But what is it?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'And with only three competitive clashes left, tension is high
0:01:11 > 0:01:15'and our competitors are getting a little crabby.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20'But first, we've got two very "ice" record attempts in something...'
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Whoo!- Uh-oh...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Ergh! - SHE LAUGHS
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- You're sure this enough padding, right?- Yeah, yeah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Great. Hello and welcome to Alexandra Palace Ice Rink,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38where we're here to meet some of the London Racers ice hockey team.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39That's them over there.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42MUSIC: O Fortuna by Carl Orff
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Hey, fellas.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46GROWLING
0:01:48 > 0:01:49You'll take it easy, right?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Oh, come on!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And see if they can break some puck-based records
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and hopefully, not me!
0:01:59 > 0:02:01HE WHIMPERS
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Come on then!
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Oh, nothing!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06On me head, son!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Let's have it!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Wait a minute! - MUSIC SCRATCHES TO A STOP
0:02:09 > 0:02:11What, you don't think I'm daft enough
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- to actually stand in the net, do you?- No comment!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18MUSIC: In Bloom by Nirvana
0:02:18 > 0:02:21'This is a seriously tough sport.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24'Meet the London Racers,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27'a top team in the Elite British Ice Hockey League.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33'Today, two of their star players are each after a world record.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37'Mason here is their Steven Gerrard long ball specialist and later,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41'he's going to try and net more than 25 long-distance goals in a minute.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47'But first, the team striker, Sam, is going to attempt the record
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'for the most targets hit in 30 seconds.'
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You're going to hit targets, but they're not just any targets,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59they're tiny little 10cm targets in the corner
0:02:59 > 0:03:01of each side of the goal.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03They're pretty small but I'm going to give it my best shot.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06What would be your three tips for hitting the targets
0:03:06 > 0:03:07from that distance?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Right, the first one would be try and keep the puck central
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- while you're going to shoot it.- OK.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Obviously, you're going to have good accuracy.- Right, good.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16And being able to hit the puck
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and get it off the ice is a great help.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22'He makes it sound so easy but, as you can see here,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'I can't even get it in the wide-open goal,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28'let alone hit one of those tiny targets!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well, funnily enough, Sam's a bit better than I am,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31but it is really hard.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33So, whilst he goes and gets ready,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36let's check out the rules for this record attempt.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Fore!
0:03:39 > 0:03:43'The four targets must each measure 10cm squared.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45'Sam must shoot from a distance
0:03:45 > 0:03:48'of at least 6.85m from the targets.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52'And only direct hits will be counted. No rebounds.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56'Sam needs to hit more than four targets in 30 seconds to get
0:03:56 > 0:04:01'the record set by Daniel Wagstrom of Sweden over ten years ago.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04'The fact it's stood for that long should tell you just how
0:04:04 > 0:04:05'difficult it is.'
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Sam, are you good?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10A sub-zero response. Let's do this.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12When you're ready.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14'Sam's first attempt didn't quite go to plan.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'He was getting close with every shot.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:20CHEERING
0:04:20 > 0:04:24'But he only managed to hit one target in his 30 seconds,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26'so he was nowhere near the four required.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Two...one...stop!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32'But, determined, he went straight into his second try.'
0:04:32 > 0:04:34OK, Sam, once again, when you're ready you are free to go
0:04:34 > 0:04:36and good luck.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39'In attempt number two, he slowed his approach and focused
0:04:39 > 0:04:42'on accuracy rather than speed
0:04:42 > 0:04:44'and also wiped out one of our cameras!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49'But apart from a target strike right at the end...'
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Two...one...stop!- Yes!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53'..he hadn't improved his gain.'
0:04:53 > 0:04:55'Is this record beatable?'
0:04:56 > 0:05:00OK, Sam, it's your last attempt, make it a good one.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02'Final attempt. Here we go.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06'Just 30 seconds, the time limit.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08'He needs more than four.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10'So far, his best is one.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'I'd cross my fingers for him but my gloves are too fat!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14'Come on, Sam!'
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ugh, come on, Sam!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21'Two really close ones there. He's zoning in on the targets now.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22'And a hit!'
0:05:22 > 0:05:26'And another hit! He's knocked it clean off.'
0:05:26 > 0:05:28CHEERING
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'This is record-breaking pace.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32'Sam just needs to keep his cool.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38'Oof! Hit the post!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40'Come on, Sam, the clock is ticking.'
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yes! 'Another hit.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44'Two more to break the record.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- 'Last few seconds. Can he do it?' - Three...two...one...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Stop!- 'Oh, and that's time!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53'We think he hit at least three targets
0:05:53 > 0:05:56'but let's get confirmation from official adjudicator, Liz.'
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well, that was brilliant, Sam. Perhaps not a record there, Liz.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Unfortunately not. So close! Your highest was three.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- A great, great effort. Well done. - But you did great, Sam,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08and in our eyes you're absolutely Officially Amazing, so well done.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Join us later, when Sam's team-mate Mason will be
0:06:11 > 0:06:14taking on another puck-filled challenge.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17But for now, let's join Haruka for something...
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Uh-oh!
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Ha!
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Ow!
0:06:23 > 0:06:28'This is the lovely, green land of Yeovil, Somerset. Lovely, green
0:06:28 > 0:06:31'land that these people are covering with material for a record attempt.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34'But what is it?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36'Longest sleeping bag for a snake?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39'Biggest blowtorch used to make massive toast?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44'Or highest altitude for a balloon skywalk?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47'Yes, I think that might have given it away at the end,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51'but it is indeed highest altitude for a balloon skywalk.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56'And when I say high. I mean really, really high!'
0:06:56 > 0:06:58MUSIC: Up, Up And Away by The 5th Dimension
0:06:58 > 0:07:02'This brave British man is Mike Howard and he's going to try and
0:07:02 > 0:07:05'walk along this plank between these balloons,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08'21,400 feet up in the air.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10'That's over four miles in the sky
0:07:10 > 0:07:14'and almost as high as you fly going on your holidays.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17'Not a nice height to fall from.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19'He's got to walk 15 feet between the balloons
0:07:19 > 0:07:24'and the plank is only just over 7cm wide.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27'Those there are harnesses to catch him if he falls,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30'but I certainly still wouldn't risk it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32'This high up, the air's really thin,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36'so he's wearing an oxygen mask to help him breathe.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'I thought it was a moustache warmer. But I was wrong.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43'Ooh, this is so scary!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45'He's nearly there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49'This high up, it's easy to get dizzy and fall off.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52'But he's done it! A new world record for Mike.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54'Incredible!
0:07:54 > 0:07:59'21,000 feet up and he's just walked between two hot air balloons.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01'Right, let's get him down now and....'
0:08:01 > 0:08:04MUSIC FADES ABRUPTLY 'What is he doing?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07'A blindfold? Surely not!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10'The lack of oxygen must be affecting him.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12'I'm not sure he's thought this through.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17'It's not even a record attempt. He's doing it just for fun!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20'Mike's using the middle-of-the-night toilet technique.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23'Hands out in front, slow shuffle, don't stub your toes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28'Ooh, slight wobble.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30'He's over four miles up in the air,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33'so even with his oxygen moustache, he'll be getting dizzy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36'Ooh, almost fell!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38'Steady, Mike!
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Oh, no, he's fallen!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45'Wow! That shows how dangerous this is.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48'Safely in the basket and with a world record in the bag.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50'Well done, Mike!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51'Time to head home.'
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Have a great day.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54'You too, Mike!'
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Whoo!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57'What a cool, but terrifying, way to finish.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01'Right, time now to fill up on your karaoke quota for the day,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04'with one of our favourite record-based songs.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Huh! Huh! Huh!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Whoa!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Aaargh!
0:10:39 > 0:10:40SHE LAUGHS
0:10:42 > 0:10:43'Meet Bria Roberts.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47'Bria is the epitome of health and fitness.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48STRETCHING NOISE
0:10:48 > 0:10:49'Ugh!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52'Ow!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55'Ew, no!
0:10:56 > 0:11:01'Aside from her athleticism, Bria is also a Hollywood actress,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03'appearing in blockbusters like Spider-Man 3.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07'But today, she's not climbing walls or constructing webs.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10'Bria's using her sensational stretchiness
0:11:10 > 0:11:11'to try and break a world record.'
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We're at a baseball field,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15but your record has nothing to do with baseball?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- That's right. - So, explain that to me.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm doing jump roping with a leg behind my head.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Nothing to do with baseball!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23When did you realise you could put your leg behind your head?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- When I heard that there was a world record for it!- OK!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Then I was like, "OK, I'm going to try that!" and I tried.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33'Bria actually already holds the record for the most skips
0:11:33 > 0:11:37'with one leg behind the head in one minute, with 29 skips!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40'She trained for two months for her original attempt.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43'Can she re-break the record today?'
0:11:43 > 0:11:44What can go wrong out there
0:11:44 > 0:11:46when you're trying to attempt this record?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Well, the past few days actually, I had a few things go wrong.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51one was that I hurt my toe really bad
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- cos the rope got stuck on it and I fell over.- Oh.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55So, injuries I guess are something.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57But, right now, I'm just going to think
0:11:57 > 0:12:00absolutely nothing's going to go wrong, it's going to go great
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and I'm going to walk away with the record.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05'Bria's attempting the record just before the evening's
0:12:05 > 0:12:07'baseball game begins.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11'And the crowd is gathering already, so the pressure's really on.'
0:12:11 > 0:12:12'Say what?'
0:12:12 > 0:12:15'Now, we all know professional athletes have their pre-match
0:12:15 > 0:12:17'superstitions and rituals.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21'But Bria's is a little unexpectedly unhealthy sounding.'
0:12:21 > 0:12:23The blueberries are awesome. The sugar, love it!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It's also good to have something in your system for the energy.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46'You, erm, not going to order one for Bria, Al?'
0:12:46 > 0:12:47'Shut up, Ben!'
0:12:47 > 0:12:52'One leg must be behind the neck and touching the neck at all times.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56'If Bria loses balance, she's allowed to put her foot down
0:12:56 > 0:12:59'and reposition herself, but the clock will not stop.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04'Only full 360-degree revolutions of the skipping rope will be counted.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08'And Bria is hoping to beat her previous record of 29 skips.'
0:13:08 > 0:13:09How are we feeling?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12CHEERING
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Are you guys ready to see a world record set right here?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Let's put our popcorn down and clap it up for Bria!
0:13:22 > 0:13:23CROWD CHANT "BRIA!"
0:13:23 > 0:13:26'She can get into position before her time begins.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31'There you go. 29 skips in one minute to beat.'
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Let's go, Bria!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37'Oh, no! A tangle right at the start.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39'Is her sore toe holding her back already?'
0:13:40 > 0:13:42She's fine.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43'Look at that focus!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47'Straight back in the game and skipping at a superhuman pace!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49'Spider-Man would be proud.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53'She needs more than one skip every two seconds to beat her record,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54'but she's tangled.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56'Bria can stop and adjust
0:13:56 > 0:13:57'but the clock will keep ticking.'
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Go Bria!- Let's go, Bria!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02'Look how difficult this is.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05'The balance and strength needed to skip on just one leg.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09'Then the flexibility required to put the other leg behind your head
0:14:09 > 0:14:13'and keep doing that for a whole minute. She's flying now.'
0:14:13 > 0:14:1520 seconds.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- 'Oh, another readjustment, costing precious time.'- We love you, Bria!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27'Four more skips, but she's caught her toe again. Come on, Bria.'
0:14:27 > 0:14:2950 seconds.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33'Can she get another few skips in during the final 10 seconds?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37'She must be exhausted and just want to skip to the end.' And time!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40All right, she is exhausted. I want you guys to clap it up.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44When have you ever seen anything like that? That was awesome!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47'Sensational skipping from Bendy Bria.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49'She did so well, but did the tangles
0:14:49 > 0:14:53'and pauses to reposition cost her precious skipping time?'
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Official adjudicator Ben, tell us how she did.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02So, Bria, as you know, the record previously stood at 29 skips.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04With that attempt, you achieved a total...
0:15:06 > 0:15:07- ..of 33!- Yeah!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- CHEERING - It's a Guinness World Records title!
0:15:11 > 0:15:12'33!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15'She demolished her old record
0:15:15 > 0:15:17'and skipped into the record books with a brand-new one.'
0:15:17 > 0:15:21New world record right here. 'Officially Amazing.'
0:15:21 > 0:15:25'Right, it's that time of the show now, it's...'
0:15:32 > 0:15:34CRASH
0:15:34 > 0:15:39There are now only three events of this titanic tussle left
0:15:39 > 0:15:41for Sizzling Steve,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43US Ray
0:15:43 > 0:15:44and Mr Cherry
0:15:44 > 0:15:46to become the champion of...
0:15:53 > 0:15:54So far in the competition,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Cherry and Ray are in the lead
0:15:56 > 0:15:58with 3½ wins each
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and the Sizzler is just behind on 2.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04But today is the really important one,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06the pivotal moment in the competition.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09If Cherry or Ray win, they will be in pole position
0:16:09 > 0:16:11going into the last two events
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and the worst they'll be able to do is come second.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17But if Steve loses today,
0:16:17 > 0:16:22he can no longer win the competition that means so much to him.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26On his home turf, too. With tension at its peak,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28who will come out on top?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Without further ado,
0:16:29 > 0:16:33let's hand over to Al to find out what they'll be attempting today.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Today's record? Fastest human crab walk. Ray, show them the pose.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42'Absolutely CRABULOUS.'
0:16:42 > 0:16:43That's cool.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46But before we get to that, we have the decider to figure out
0:16:46 > 0:16:48who's going first.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Thank you. All right, let's see what we've got here.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Blindfolded fruit...?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58'Yes, as ever we first have to compete in the decider to establish
0:16:58 > 0:17:02'the order in which our competitors will take on the crab-walking event.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05'And today's decider was a fruity one.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09'We had 30 seconds to guess as many of these 15 fruits as we could
0:17:09 > 0:17:13'by touch alone - whilst blindfolded!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15'Not as scary as Mike's blindfolded balloon walk,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17'but tough nonetheless.'
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Erm, Kiwi fruit.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Must be an orange. Banana. Strawberries!
0:17:22 > 0:17:29Banana. Apple. Kiwi fruit. Erm, pomegranate. Cherry. Pear.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32'Al was terrible at it, only getting four of the fruits.'
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Pieces of paper. - 'They're physalis, Al!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- 'Also known as Cape gooseberries.' - 'Whatever, Ben!
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- 'You only got seven.' - 'Yeah, well, Haruka was the best
0:17:43 > 0:17:46'and won the competition by correctly identifying
0:17:46 > 0:17:48'nine fruits in total.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51'So, Team Japan got to choose whether to go first,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54'second or third in the crab-walking challenge.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- 'And of course, they picked...' - Last.- Third.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Third, please!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02'So, Cherry will learn from Ray and Steve's attempts.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06'Ray has to go first, because Al thinks paper is a fruit.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09'But before kick-off, it's pre-match chat time.'
0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, Steve, to become the crab, you have to do become...well,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15a crab, right? Get into its mind-set.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Yeah, you have to properly think about being a crab.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21So you have to think about people giving it all that all the time?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yep.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26'Oh! A pinch of sarcasm from Steve there.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29'But I've never seen my man Ray as ready he is today.'
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Show me the crab pose - let me just see it. That's good. All right.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Now, when you're training for... Show me the pose.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40OK. When you're training for the crab walk,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42like, do you do a lot of upper body, a lot of lower body?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Like, what do you do? Show me the pose.- Full body right here.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- I get in the spirit of the crab. And I walk.- Oh, my goodness.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53That's really cool. Show me the pose.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- You saw it here first. Show me the pose.- 'Impressive.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03'But Cherry-san isn't just limited to the way of the crab.'
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Well, Cherry-san, I know you've been practising really hard
0:19:06 > 0:19:08with your crab walk.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Can you walk as any other animals?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Oh, crab walk...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Gorilla walk!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17'Gorilla walk?!'
0:19:17 > 0:19:20'Hm. Well, I'm not sure that's the best way to prepare
0:19:20 > 0:19:22'for a crab-walking competition.'
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Gorilla walk.- 'Gorilla walk.'
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But anyway. Let's get the rules.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Competitors must travel the whole 20-metre distance in this
0:19:31 > 0:19:33standard human-crab position.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Head first, like so, using only their hands and feet.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40If any other part of the body touches the floor,
0:19:40 > 0:19:41the attempt is void.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44The clock only stops when both feet have crossed the finish line,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and the time to beat is just 7.84 seconds,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50set by American Cameron Jones.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55So, them's the rules. Let's get crabby. Ray's up first.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59The mini muscular man mostly manages magnificently in
0:19:59 > 0:20:02the physical records. This could be very fast indeed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- 'You've seen his pose.'- Are you ready for some action?- I'm ready!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I double flagged it, cos I'm ready for some action.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- You ready?- I'm ready for some action!- Show me the pose.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Ready?- Oooh!
0:20:14 > 0:20:15On my count...
0:20:15 > 0:20:193, 2, 1, go!
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Let's go, Ray. Come on, baby.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25There you go. Keep going. 'Oooh, Ray looks quick. He's lost a shoe!
0:20:25 > 0:20:30'Both shoes, in fact.' Yeah! 'And BOOM!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33'He may have finished shoe-less, but that time will be tough to beat.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35'Does the Sizzler have what it takes?'
0:20:36 > 0:20:38'Well, let's find out.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42'In the past, Steve has proved that the more athletic challenges
0:20:42 > 0:20:43'aren't really his forte.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46'But there's always hope.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yeah, come on, Steve!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Now, Steve, without getting too alarmist about this,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Ray was pretty good, wasn't he?- He was.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You can talk the talk, but can you crab-walk the walk?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- We shall find out.- Let's do this.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- 'A battle cry from the Sizzle-oid!'- OK.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06All right. 3, 2, 1, go!
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Come on, Steve.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09'Not as quick out of the blocks as Ray.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12'That's quite obvious.' Think crab!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15'Steve makes for quite an awkward crab, in fact.'
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Speed, agility, endurance...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Have you got any of them, Steve?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25'Maybe he's less of a sprinter and more of a distance crab?'
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Yes! Steve, come on!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'Or maybe he's just terrible at this altogether...'
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- Yay!- 'Don't pity him, Haruka! Moving swiftly on...'
0:21:36 > 0:21:39'It's Cherry time!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42'And to prepare for this record, a devoted Cherry-san actually
0:21:42 > 0:21:46'went to train with a former crab-walking record-holder in Japan
0:21:46 > 0:21:50'who advised him to wear gloves in the hope of gaining extra
0:21:50 > 0:21:52'purchase on the ground.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57'He is serious about this. Expect something special.'
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Hey! 3, 2, 1, go!
0:22:01 > 0:22:02SHE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:22:02 > 0:22:04'Wow! He's quick!'
0:22:04 > 0:22:08SHE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:22:08 > 0:22:10'And quick as a flash, he's over the line.'
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Oooh!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14'If you didn't know any better,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- 'you'd say he actually was a crab.' - 'The gloves worked.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19'The technique was terrific.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22'This could be very good news for Cherry indeed.'
0:22:22 > 0:22:25'Well, there's little doubt that Steve's last, but I'd say
0:22:25 > 0:22:29'it's just too close to call between Team Japan and Team USA.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33'Let's get the result. 7.84 seconds to beat.'
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Anna, please tell us - tell me! -
0:22:35 > 0:22:37there was a world record broken today.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Yes, there was!- All right!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42CHEERING
0:22:42 > 0:22:43I felt it in my bones.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I knew something special had happened out here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Let's just get right to it. All right.- It was so close.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53There was less than a second in it, but today's winner...
0:22:53 > 0:22:55is Japan!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57CHEERING
0:22:57 > 0:23:01'So, it's a crabtastic victory for Team Japan.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04'Ray's 8.16 seconds was so close,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06'but not quite good enough.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08'And Mr Cherry's 7.78 seconds
0:23:08 > 0:23:10'beat the original record by just
0:23:10 > 0:23:12'six hundredths of a second.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15'Such fine margins at this level of record-breaking.'
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I win! I took it, I took it! Took it, took it good!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Good, took it good, took it good, took it good!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Good, took it good - GOOOOOOD!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29'How does that affect the scores at the end of this vital event?'
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Well, after 11 events,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Team Japan take the lead
0:23:36 > 0:23:37with 4½ points.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Team USA are on 3½
0:23:39 > 0:23:40and Team UK are on 2,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42which sadly means Steve
0:23:42 > 0:23:44can't win this series.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45But can still come second,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47playing for pride.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49CHEERING
0:23:49 > 0:23:52'The next two events are going to be nail-biting.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54'As is today's final record attempt,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57'as we return to the ice in London...'
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Whoo! Ha-ha!
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Uh-oh...
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Ah!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07'Welcome back to Ally Pally in London,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11'where earlier we saw super-striker Sam narrowly miss out
0:24:11 > 0:24:14'on the record attempt for most targets hit in 30 seconds.'
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Now, it's time for the second record, and this one promises
0:24:18 > 0:24:21plenty of pucks in the goal and some cheeky slap-shots to boot.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25'Meet Mason.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28'He's the ice-cool speed shooter who'll be taking on this
0:24:28 > 0:24:31'record for most ice hockey pucks shot in a minute.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33'Here are the rules.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35'The player must shoot from behind
0:24:35 > 0:24:36'the blue defensive zone line.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38'That's a massive 18m
0:24:38 > 0:24:40'from the goal.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42'About twice as long as a bus!
0:24:42 > 0:24:45'Only pucks that go in the goal will count
0:24:45 > 0:24:46'and Mason needs to score at least
0:24:46 > 0:24:50'25 goals within the 60 seconds
0:24:50 > 0:24:52'to set this brand-new record.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55'I can't even score one from about a quarter of the distance.'
0:24:55 > 0:25:00It's record-breaking time. Let's get it on. Mason, you ready?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- London racers, are you ready? - ALL: Oh, yes!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Let's do this.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07'All the pucks are lined up for him to score with.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10'The goal is 18 metres away and it's tiny.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16'It only measures 1.83m by 1.22m, so he needs to
0:25:16 > 0:25:20'be both fast and accurate if he wants to break this record.'
0:25:20 > 0:25:21- Go!- 'And off he goes.'
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Come on, Mason!
0:25:23 > 0:25:24'Goal!'
0:25:25 > 0:25:27'And another!'
0:25:27 > 0:25:30'Oh, he's off to an incredible start!'
0:25:30 > 0:25:33'No room for error, he needs to score more than one every
0:25:33 > 0:25:37'three seconds to have a chance of getting this record.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40'Oh, no, he's missed that one!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45'He's keeping a good pace so far.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50'That's 30 seconds gone and 17 goals scored already.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51'18 metres from the goal
0:25:51 > 0:25:56'and nearly every puck's hitting the back of the net. Stupendous!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59'Mason's now coming to the end of the first line of pucks,
0:25:59 > 0:26:04'still on record pace to beat 25, he needs to keep this up.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08'But what's he doing? Starting to work backwards?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11'He looks a little awkward and that's missed,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13'so now he moves to the other end of the pucks.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16'This is chaos and it's all costing him valuable time,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19'with only a few seconds left.'
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Stop, stop!- 'He was on record pace,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25'but did doubling back cost him?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28'Time to hear the result from official adjudicator Liz.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31'The minimum required was 25 goals.'
0:26:31 > 0:26:34In one minute, you achieved...
0:26:38 > 0:26:4234 goals! We have a new world record!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47'Fantastic! Mason beating the target
0:26:47 > 0:26:49'by an Officially Amazing nine goals,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52'showing he's a hotshot sharp shooter.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54'And as cool as ice.'
0:26:54 > 0:26:57'And after all that record-breaking skating,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00'it's nearly time for us to... Hold on a minute!'
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Aaaaaah!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04'We've booked this rink until 6.30!
0:27:04 > 0:27:08'Stop! No, noooooooo!'
0:27:11 > 0:27:14'Phew! I feel a bit flat after all that.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16'I could do with a lift home.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17'Oh, thanks.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20'Join us next time for more Officially Amazing world records
0:27:20 > 0:27:22'and world record attempts like these...'
0:27:22 > 0:27:25# Well, Ben got squished but we couldn't have wished
0:27:25 > 0:27:28# To see cooler stuff on the ice
0:27:28 > 0:27:30# Our sharp-shooting guys gave two records a try
0:27:30 > 0:27:32# And Mason broke his - NICE!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36# We have no idea how Bria skips with her foot behind her ear
0:27:36 > 0:27:41# Mike here tried to beat a record at 21,000ft
0:27:41 > 0:27:44# And Cherry now holds the record for speedy crab-walking!
0:27:45 > 0:27:50# It's all Officially Amazing! #
