0:00:29 > 0:00:34to bring you the most incredible records, from America to Japan
0:00:34 > 0:00:38and France! Even the moon!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I know this isn't the moon cos we don't have the budget
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and technically it's not on Earth, but you get the idea.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50We leave no stone unturned in our search for the best.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Here's what's coming up on today's show.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54You don't need to go to outer space
0:00:54 > 0:00:57when we've got Guinness World Records title attempts like these
0:00:57 > 0:00:59that you can watch from home.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Warn your parents - after watching these extreme pogo hoppers,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09you'll be all, "Can I have a pogo stick, please?"
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Bet you thought archery was just a sport for dry land, right?
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Wrong! These underwater archers are attempting a record today.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And Britain's Got Talent runners up Twist and Pulse are here,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26to attempt a super speedy world record.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28First, let's join Al in America.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Whee! Whoo!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Huh. Uh, uh, ooh...
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Oh!
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Urgh.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42MUSIC: California Love by 2Pac
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Welcome to Venice Beach, home to the physically fit,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52the health conscious and the naturally good-looking.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Today's record involves one of the oldest pastimes ever -
0:01:55 > 0:01:56pogo hopping.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And if you didn't know anything about it, it's really easy.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02All you have to do is just put your foot down and...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04put your right foot, that's the...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I mean, put your...there...
0:02:11 > 0:02:12That was them, wasn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Meet 16-year-old Nic Patino and his high-school buddy,
0:02:18 > 0:02:2115-year-old Henry Cabelus, from Pennsylvania.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23# Jump around! #
0:02:23 > 0:02:26What they're doing is no ordinary pogo hopping.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28# Jump up, jump up and get down! #
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Oh, no - this is extreme pogo hopping.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Nic and Henry use special pogo sticks which are pumped full of air,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41propelling them to heights of up to three metres.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44That's higher than a kangaroo can jump!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Unless it's on a pogo stick, obviously.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Boom! That's bouncy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54But extreme pogoing isn't just about jumping high. Check this out!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Look, no hands!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And they can even do...
0:03:01 > 0:03:02the Superman!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Super awesome.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Today, Nic and Henry will be attempting to set a new world record
0:03:09 > 0:03:11for the most consecutive
0:03:11 > 0:03:13stick flips on a pogo stick.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll let Nic explain.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17This trick is called the stick flip.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19We're going to try the most stick flips in a row ever.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23It involves the stick going completely upside down in your hand,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26so it comes up and around, over your head and then back down.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You put your feet back on the pegs.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Just keep doing that.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The boys will be going head-to-head, or pogo-to-pogo,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37competing against each other and chasing the record.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You guys are friends but there's got to be a little bit
0:03:39 > 0:03:41of friendly competition to see who can get the most, right?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- There's always friendly competition. - Good.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45We're always pushing each other.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Let's do this!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Here are the rules.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50The stick flips must be performed
0:03:50 > 0:03:53with only a single bounce between each flip
0:03:53 > 0:03:57and only flips with a full 360-degree rotation will count.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59To set a new world record,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02the boys need to do six stick flips in a row.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Nic's up first. And he's off!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Wow! What a start!
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Oh!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Oh, just one?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Can Henry do more?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24One.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26He's really po-going for it!
0:04:27 > 0:04:28And that's two!
0:04:28 > 0:04:29And three!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Oh!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36So, they've both failed at their first attempt.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The key to success is doing as big a bounce as possible
0:04:40 > 0:04:43to keep the momentum without losing control of the stick.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45But that's easier said that done.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Nic and Henry have been pogoing for almost half an hour.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56They just can't find their pogo mojo.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Guys, we're down to our last take. All right, let's do it!
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Good luck, man.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04This is exhausting stuff.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07The boys have decided to give it one more go.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Nic's up first.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Can he bounce back from failure
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and secure those six stick flips needed to set the new record?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19No! Too many bounces after the flip and Nic's out.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So, it's all down to Henry.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Is the record even possible or will it be pogo no-go?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30That's one.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31That's two!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And three! If he makes this four,
0:05:34 > 0:05:35it's the most he's done.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Yes!
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Five!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42If he gets six, he's hit the target.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yes! That's six for Henry.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53But remember, the pogo stick must turn 360 degrees each time to count.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Official Adjudicator Ben, how many were valid?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59With that attempt, you achieved a total...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- of six stick flips.- All right!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's a brand-new Guinness World Records title.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04How does that feel?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05I feel pretty good.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It was tough but Henry held his nerve
0:06:08 > 0:06:10and stick-flipped his way to the record.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12# I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. #
0:06:12 > 0:06:15You are the man, Henry, the pogo man.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- BEN:- Over to me in France now for something...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Argh! Grrr.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25HE SNIGGERS
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Argh!
0:06:26 > 0:06:27HE SIGHS
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Bonjour! I've come to France, the home of underwater biathlon,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34also known as underwater archery.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Which is why I've changed into these rather natty swimming togs,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40complete with bowtie which not only looks the part,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44but also doubles up as a secret underwater swimming propeller.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Watch!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Could look at that all day.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50But instead, let's go and meet underwater archery champion, Yohann,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52and his competitor for today, Patrique.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55They compete in archery underwater!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Using these specially designed spear guns,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00a kind of hi-tech bow and arrow
0:07:00 > 0:07:03that shoots the spears with a powerful rubber band.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Today, they'll be competing
0:07:05 > 0:07:06against each other
0:07:06 > 0:07:09and trying to break Yohann's world record for...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13So, this is how it works.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18The course is 15 metres long from starting point to target.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20The competitors must swim underwater
0:07:20 > 0:07:23until they are four metres from the target and shoot.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Then they retrieve their arrow, swim back to the beginning,
0:07:27 > 0:07:32catch their breath and go again, firing three arrows each in total.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35These guys are trained professionals.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Don't even think about playing darts in your local swimming pool!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Is it all about speed? Is it about holding your breath...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Yes.- ..or accuracy? Is it all in there?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45All in that.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49You have to go fast and to be precise
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and to return more fast, as possible.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yeah.- And after, we have to breathe quickly.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58HE PANTS And we go again three times.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01So you go up to the surface very quickly, then back down again?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Yes. Yes.- Well, it sounds fantastic, guys, so bonne chance.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Merci.- Merci.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09That was me speaking French. Talented!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Let's take a look at les regles.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14That's French for the rules.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16The archers must hit
0:08:16 > 0:08:17one of the five targets
0:08:17 > 0:08:19with each of their three arrows.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21And each time the target is missed,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23the archer has 10 seconds
0:08:23 > 0:08:24added to their time.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Time penalties would be a disaster
0:08:26 > 0:08:28as Yohann's current record
0:08:28 > 0:08:30is a spectacularly speedy...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34That's going to be tough to beat.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Patrique, Yohann, are you ready?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Trois, deux, un, zero!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And they're off! Stopping at the
0:08:41 > 0:08:44four-metre mark, aim and fire!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Great shot, Yohann!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48But Patrique has missed the target -
0:08:48 > 0:08:50that's a 10-second penalty for him.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Now they have to retrieve their spears
0:08:52 > 0:08:54and swim back to the start as fast as they can.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56OK, so one shot's been fired already.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Quick air and then back under again.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Patrique is still trying to reload
0:09:01 > 0:09:03as Yohann fires his second shot.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ooh! Just in the target zone.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08As Yohann swims to collect,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Patrique's loaded and ready.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12But can he make up the time?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Takes the shot, hits the target!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yohann's coming up for his last breath of air
0:09:17 > 0:09:19before his final arrow.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20And here comes Patrique.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21He's caught up.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It's not over yet. Who can reload the quickest?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yohann takes off.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Final spear now. Takes aim...
0:09:30 > 0:09:31..and almost a bull's-eye.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Three out of three! Yohann collects.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Patrique's just behind him,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37ready to shoot his final shot.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39He's got to make this count.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42No! Just outside the target.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44That's another 10-second penalty
0:09:44 > 0:09:46and Yohann's already finished.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Those two misses add 20 seconds
0:09:48 > 0:09:50onto Patrique's time.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52But immaculate shooting from Yohann
0:09:52 > 0:09:54means no penalties.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Did he break his own one-minute,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57four-second world record?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Firstly, Patrique, unfortunately,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01because of your 20-second penalty,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05you achieved one minute and 21 seconds, OK?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Oh, if only he'd been more accurate with his shooting,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09he could have broken the world record.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11But this is looking good for Yohann
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and his triple perfect targets.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Yohann, you achieved 54 seconds, so congratulations!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- It's a new record.- Ah-ha-ha!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Whoo!- Brilliant stuff. Well done!
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Some sharp shooting and Officially Amazing underwater archery.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Yohann broke his own record
0:10:28 > 0:10:29by 10 seconds!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31By the beard of Poseidon,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32that's quick!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Now let's continue this world tour
0:10:37 > 0:10:38and stop off in Italy.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Here's Haruka.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Ow!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49HARUKA: Ciao, bella! Welcome to Italy,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53where this Canadian trio will attempt to claim a world record.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56But what do you think it could be?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Well, the answer is...
0:11:09 > 0:11:14This is the Russian bar. It's bendy and only 12cm wide.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Christine is going to do the backflips,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18while Yves and Marco are in charge
0:11:18 > 0:11:20of holding the bendy bar.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22She has to trust them 100%,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25otherwise she can be off the bar in just a second.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I have to trust them 100%,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30otherwise I can be off the bar in just a second.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31That's what I said!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34To set a new world record, Christine
0:11:34 > 0:11:36needs 20 consecutive backflips.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39And if that isn't difficult enough, there's a rule.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42She's only allowed to pause between
0:11:42 > 0:11:44flips for five seconds at a time.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Any longer and the attempt is over.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Can she do it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Look at Christine go!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55As Christine pauses for breath,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57the adjudicator counts down.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59And she's off again!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well within the five seconds.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Good work, Christine!
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Another rest.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Three, two...- And another restart.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09This is so physically demanding.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And check out Marco and Yves -
0:12:11 > 0:12:13they have to use every bit of strength
0:12:13 > 0:12:15to keep the bar in exactly
0:12:15 > 0:12:16the right place
0:12:16 > 0:12:18as they catch her and flip her back
0:12:18 > 0:12:19up in the air again.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Phenomenal skill!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Another rest. Keep going, Christine!
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- ..two, one, zero.- Argh!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's more than five seconds.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28No! She's had to stop.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31This could be disastrous.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Did she manage enough flips to claim the world record?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Guinness World Record!
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Yes! She got 39! A humungous record!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Christine, you are Officially Amazing!
0:12:43 > 0:12:44- BEN:- Brilliant!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Let's celebrate Christine's success in the traditional way -
0:12:47 > 0:12:49go with me - by having a singsong!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51All together now!
0:14:21 > 0:14:24# Hooo-oooh! #
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Well, I don't know about anyone else,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28but I'm an OAP who needs a cup of tea.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Far too strenuous, this bungee jumping.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35That's my new favourite song to sing about older people.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38In your face, the Grand Old Duke Of York!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Right, I'm off to meet two young chaps who are...
0:14:44 > 0:14:45SHE GIGGLES HE SIGHS
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Meet Twist and Pulse, Britain's Got Talent runners up
0:14:51 > 0:14:54and inventors of Streetomedy,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57a beautiful combination of street dance and comedy.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00They're already Guinness World Records title holders
0:15:00 > 0:15:03and today, they'll be attempting to break their record for...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Let me give you an example of what that looks like.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Meet Twinge and Puke, a smaller but admittedly more stylish version
0:15:15 > 0:15:18of Twist and Pulse. Hit it, fellas.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21MUSIC: Single Ladies by Beyonce
0:15:28 > 0:15:30So, it's a little something like that, but...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Eeeh!- Aargh!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34..let's meet the real Twist and Pulse.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So, let's talk about records now
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- because you boys are here to attempt a record today...- Yes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- ..that you already hold.- Yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Are we excited for it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Do we think we're going to improve on what you did before?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Yeah.- I think we are. We're feeling confident.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I think we did more moves that what we actually got for the record
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- but they weren't in synch. - So we lost.- So we lost about 10.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Wow, OK. - So, we've had to clean that up
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and make sure we keep those 10, as well as adding more.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Let's check out the rules.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Individual dance moves cannot be repeated.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02And only moves in perfect sync will count.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Their current record is a mind
0:16:04 > 0:16:05and body boggling...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Three, two, one, hit the track.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15MUSIC STARTS
0:16:20 > 0:16:21And they're off to
0:16:21 > 0:16:22a blistering start!
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Look at them perfectly
0:16:23 > 0:16:24in time with each...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Oh.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- BEN LAUGHS - OK, OK.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Stop the track please, DJ.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Eight seconds in
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and they're doing different parts of the dance routine.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37That's the opposite of synchronised!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Street-a-complete-muck-up.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Well, we're about to go for this. Twist and Pulse, are you ready?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- We're ready.- Yes, we're ready to go.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44- Anna, are you ready?- Ready.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46OK, let's do it!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48MUSIC STARTS
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Same moves again. Can they get past
0:16:55 > 0:16:58that eight-second stumbling block?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Yes! Nailed it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01But there's still a long way to go.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's so complex and so fast.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It's incredible they can even
0:17:06 > 0:17:07remember this routine,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10never mind performing it in sync.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Just 10 seconds left.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Look at me helping them out.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17I'm basically a muse
0:17:17 > 0:17:19for all street dancers.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- And that's it!- Stop!
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Oh, yes!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Yes, yes, yes. Yes!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Put it there. Come on!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I don't know about you at home,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33but to me that looked pretty good.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37But only moves in perfect harmony will count,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40so the boys will have to wait while official adjudicator Anna
0:17:40 > 0:17:42texts her mum.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I mean, reviews the dance in super slow-mo, move by move.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Have they done enough?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Unfortunately, I had to disqualify some moves.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55I disqualified 16 moves and you had to beat your current record,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- which was 130.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Remember, when they set the existing record,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01they only had 10 moves disallowed.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Have they blown it?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06In 30 seconds, you achieved 147...
0:18:06 > 0:18:07THEY ALL CHEER
0:18:07 > 0:18:10No! They absolutely smashed it!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12An incredible...
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Twist and Pulse are Street-icially
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Street-azing! I think.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25And now for something - dare I say it - even more hip!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yeah! Whoo!
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Uh-oh.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40This series, we've emptied the piggy bank
0:18:40 > 0:18:42to fly the world's top three record-breaking legends
0:18:42 > 0:18:44to Great Britain,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46stored them in a top secret location
0:18:46 > 0:18:49and marvelled as they've competed against each other
0:18:49 > 0:18:53to smash Guinness World Records titles that you can try at home.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Representing the UK, it's hard to believe he is but a mere human -
0:18:59 > 0:19:01it's Sizzling Steve!
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- AL:- He back flipped all the way from America for Team USA.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's the mini colossus, US Ray.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12HARUKA: And competing for Japan, it's spangle-bottomed,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15record-breaking superstar, Mr Cherry.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17This is...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26As things stand, Ray is in the lead with three wins,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30a remarkable turnaround for the one-time loser of the competition,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34thanks to his exceptional frog jumping and egg cupping skills.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38But will he make it a hat-trick of heroics?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Let's find out what record our competitors will attempt today.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Now, today's challenge is...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Cherry San, are you ready? HE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- TRANSLATION:- I'm all right, thank you, love.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Earlier on, Al, Haruka and I took part in our customary battle
0:19:57 > 0:20:01to decide the order in which our record breakers would compete.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05In the most brutal scenes ever witnessed on Officially Amazing,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08we each threaded five needles as quickly as we could.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Which in Al's case was not in
0:20:11 > 0:20:13the slightest bit quickly at all!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Haruka performed valiantly.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18There! Beautiful!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20'But, after a stirring pep talk from the Sizzler...'
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Please make sure you win.- OK.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25'..my ninja sewing skills claimed victory.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29'Steve was almost lost for words.'
0:20:29 > 0:20:30HE STUTTERS: I reckon Haruka will
0:20:30 > 0:20:32have...problems...beating that.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34After Ben's humble celebration...
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, yeah! That's how you make needlework work, baby!
0:20:37 > 0:20:41..Team UK chose to go third in the marble challenge
0:20:41 > 0:20:44so Steve could keep his secret tactics, well, secret!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Steve, there's a rumour that you have whittled your chopsticks
0:20:50 > 0:20:53from one carefully selected branch of English oak. True?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- No, it's not quite true.- Not true,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It's from my great-great grandfather.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59From his wooden leg?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02No, from a special branch hidden in Nottingham Forest.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04He cut down that branch and he made the chopsticks
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and it's been handed down through generations.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10And is that what gives you the grip and the determination
0:21:10 > 0:21:11to grab a marble each time?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Exactly.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Team UK talking absolute nonsense there.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Now, Ray has a chequered history with chopsticks, so this is tough.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I know that you're ambidextrous,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24meaning you can use both your right and left hand.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Which one are you going to go with? Or are you...?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I might just have to surprise you.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31You've come back his year with a whole new aura. I love it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Well, I've been eating a lot of Chinese food lately,
0:21:33 > 0:21:34just to prepare myself.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I've been eating a lot of Chinese food,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38but just because I like Chinese food.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I do it for both reasons.- OK.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Al, it's going to take more than eating a few noodles
0:21:44 > 0:21:46to out-chopstick Cherry.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50So, last year, you moved jelly babies with chopsticks.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52This year, you have to move marbles.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Oh, marbles. - HE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- TRANSLATION:- Oh, marbles. They are slippery little devils,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59but I have a cunning plan -
0:21:59 > 0:22:02top quality chopsticks.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Luckily, they sell millions of chopsticks in Japan,
0:22:05 > 0:22:06where I am from,
0:22:06 > 0:22:11so I got me sent the same chopsticks as Japanese royal family
0:22:11 > 0:22:14and when I use them, I am the chopstick king.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Oh, aye!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Let's have a look at the rules.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The marbles must be moved between two containers
0:22:20 > 0:22:22at least one metre apart.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Only one marble can be moved at a time.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And only the chopsticks
0:22:27 > 0:22:28can touch the marbles.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33The record to beat is a massive 43 marbles in one minute.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34But in Cherry and Steve,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38we have two of the world's greatest chopstick musketeers.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Incredibly, in just two series of Officially Competitive,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Cherry San and the Sizzler have broken
0:22:45 > 0:22:49every chopstick-related record we've ever thrown their way.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Will we witness another world record today?
0:22:52 > 0:22:53HE SHOUTS
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, we'll have to wait and see because we're...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59contractually obliged to let Ray have a go first.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- You loosened up? You ready? - I'm loose. I'm juiced.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'm ready to go.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I'm going to count you in from three, two, one, go!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Yeah, go on, Ray!
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Bad start for Ray - he's flung the first one off the table!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15He just can't get to grips with this.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16There we go, first one's in.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Ray's changed hands there. Will
0:23:18 > 0:23:20his lucky left hand bring glory?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23He's literally losing his marbles, Al!
0:23:26 > 0:23:27This is better,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29but is it too little too late?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Stop!
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Another disappointing chopstick experience for Ray.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Surely no threat there?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Go chopstick!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Cherry's up next.- Arrrgh!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43And in controversial scenes,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45he's opting to do this without
0:23:45 > 0:23:48the table, but with the tablecloth!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Good luck. Three, two, one, go!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Cherry rocketing out of the blocks.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58This is incredible!
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So much faster than US Ray.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Sorry, Team USA, but this is how you move marbles.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I'm worried for the Sizzler.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11This is world-class chopsticking,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13a joy to behold!
0:24:13 > 0:24:14No mistakes, Steve.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15You can't afford a mistake.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Stop!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Agh!- Ooh, well done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Steve, he's really good.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27A monumental effort from Cherry San.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29But fear not, Steve fans -
0:24:29 > 0:24:31the Sizzler has a secret weapon.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's time to reveal...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Steve's lunchbox.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Yes, years of experience have taught Steve
0:24:38 > 0:24:40that moving marbles into a plastic sandwich container
0:24:40 > 0:24:43will make them less likely to bounce out.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48And Steve's lunchbox is adjudicator approved. Tactical genius!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51What have you taken from Ray and from Cherry?
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Uh...nothing.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Great. A man, as always, of very little.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57OK, Steve, it's sizzle time.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Three, two, one, go!
0:25:02 > 0:25:03A terrible start!
0:25:04 > 0:25:05But the Sizzler's
0:25:05 > 0:25:07found his rhythm now.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Steve, come on.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Yes! Come on!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Cherry looks worried,
0:25:15 > 0:25:16and rightly so -
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Steve is a marble moving marvel.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Oh! Thanks for making me
0:25:19 > 0:25:20look an idiot, Steve.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23This means so much!
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Come on, Steve!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Come on! Look at him go!
0:25:33 > 0:25:34- Stop!- Ooh!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36In the Sizzle Zone! Tss!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Can you see that s-s-sizzle?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And so ends a tremendous
0:25:40 > 0:25:41effort from the Sizzler.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43This will be close.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Both Steve and Cherry displaying
0:25:46 > 0:25:48superhuman marble moving abilities.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Official adjudicator Anna employs her counting skills.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Do we have yet another chopstick-related record?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Anna, please tell us - has anyone broke the world record?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Unfortunately, no-one here today broke a record.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Disappointing! We all thought we had a record.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09But there is that vital competitive point to play for.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12In third place, we have US Ray with 19.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Wahey! Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17The traditional celebration of last place from Team USA there.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Still weird.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21And then there was 40 and 41.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26One got 40 and one got 41 - ridiculously close!
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Who moved that vital extra marble - UK or Japan?
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Japan got 41.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- Team Japan! Whoa!- Team Japan! Japan!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40HE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Chopsticks! Chopsticks! Chopsticks!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Another vociferous victory for Japan.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Mr Cherry only two marbles away from the record.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- Oh, winner...- TRANSLATOR:- Winner.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- From...- From...- Japan!- Japan!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Ha-ha-ha!- Ha-ha-ha.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Steve is understandably distraught. He thought he'd smelt victory.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04But it was just Mr Cherry's armpits.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Let's see how that
0:27:06 > 0:27:07affects the scores.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It's more bad news for the Sizzler -
0:27:09 > 0:27:11he's lagging behind on two.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13But Cherry's right back in it,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15joining Ray in the three wins club.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19What will happen next? You couldn't possibly predict!
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Just make sure you return next time
0:27:21 > 0:27:24for more rambunctious record attempts like these!
0:27:24 > 0:27:27# Well, who'd have thought you could shoot arrows underwater?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29# Just look at these two guys
0:27:29 > 0:27:31# Patrique and Yohann were the man that can
0:27:31 > 0:27:33# And Yohann hit the record bull's-eyes
0:27:33 > 0:27:36# Twist and Pulse's synchronised
0:27:36 > 0:27:38# Dancing had us mesmerised
0:27:38 > 0:27:39# Americans Henry and Nic
0:27:39 > 0:27:42# Amazed us with their pogo flips
0:27:42 > 0:27:43# And Cherry won again
0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Thanks to his royal chopsticks!
0:27:46 > 0:27:50# It's all Officially Amazing! #
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Chop, chop, chopsticks!
