0:00:220:00:24

Welcome to Officially Amazing, the show that scours the Earth

0:00:250:00:29

to bring you the most incredible records, from America to Japan

0:00:290:00:34

and France! Even the moon!

0:00:340:00:38

I know this isn't the moon cos we don't have the budget

0:00:420:00:44

and technically it's not on Earth, but you get the idea.

0:00:440:00:46

We leave no stone unturned in our search for the best.

0:00:460:00:50

Here's what's coming up on today's show.

0:00:500:00:52

You don't need to go to outer space

0:00:520:00:54

when we've got Guinness World Records title attempts like these

0:00:540:00:57

that you can watch from home.

0:00:570:00:59

Warn your parents - after watching these extreme pogo hoppers,

0:01:010:01:05

you'll be all, "Can I have a pogo stick, please?"

0:01:050:01:09

Bet you thought archery was just a sport for dry land, right?

0:01:100:01:13

Wrong! These underwater archers are attempting a record today.

0:01:130:01:18

And Britain's Got Talent runners up Twist and Pulse are here,

0:01:190:01:23

to attempt a super speedy world record.

0:01:230:01:26

First, let's join Al in America.

0:01:260:01:28

Whee! Whoo!

0:01:330:01:34

Huh. Uh, uh, ooh...

0:01:340:01:37

Oh!

0:01:370:01:38

Urgh.

0:01:380:01:39

MUSIC: California Love by 2Pac

0:01:390:01:42

Welcome to Venice Beach, home to the physically fit,

0:01:470:01:50

the health conscious and the naturally good-looking.

0:01:500:01:52

Today's record involves one of the oldest pastimes ever -

0:01:520:01:55

pogo hopping.

0:01:550:01:56

And if you didn't know anything about it, it's really easy.

0:01:560:01:59

All you have to do is just put your foot down and...

0:01:590:02:02

put your right foot, that's the...

0:02:020:02:04

I mean, put your...there...

0:02:040:02:06

That was them, wasn't it?

0:02:110:02:12

Meet 16-year-old Nic Patino and his high-school buddy,

0:02:140:02:18

15-year-old Henry Cabelus, from Pennsylvania.

0:02:180:02:21

# Jump around! #

0:02:210:02:23

What they're doing is no ordinary pogo hopping.

0:02:230:02:26

# Jump up, jump up and get down! #

0:02:260:02:28

Oh, no - this is extreme pogo hopping.

0:02:280:02:32

Nic and Henry use special pogo sticks which are pumped full of air,

0:02:330:02:37

propelling them to heights of up to three metres.

0:02:370:02:41

That's higher than a kangaroo can jump!

0:02:410:02:44

Unless it's on a pogo stick, obviously.

0:02:440:02:46

Boom! That's bouncy.

0:02:460:02:48

But extreme pogoing isn't just about jumping high. Check this out!

0:02:490:02:54

Look, no hands!

0:02:540:02:56

And they can even do...

0:02:580:03:01

the Superman!

0:03:010:03:02

Super awesome.

0:03:040:03:06

Today, Nic and Henry will be attempting to set a new world record

0:03:060:03:09

for the most consecutive

0:03:090:03:11

stick flips on a pogo stick.

0:03:110:03:13

I'll let Nic explain.

0:03:130:03:15

This trick is called the stick flip.

0:03:150:03:17

We're going to try the most stick flips in a row ever.

0:03:170:03:19

It involves the stick going completely upside down in your hand,

0:03:190:03:23

so it comes up and around, over your head and then back down.

0:03:230:03:26

You put your feet back on the pegs.

0:03:260:03:28

Just keep doing that.

0:03:280:03:29

The boys will be going head-to-head, or pogo-to-pogo,

0:03:300:03:34

competing against each other and chasing the record.

0:03:340:03:37

You guys are friends but there's got to be a little bit

0:03:370:03:39

of friendly competition to see who can get the most, right?

0:03:390:03:41

-There's always friendly competition.

-Good.

0:03:410:03:43

We're always pushing each other.

0:03:430:03:45

Let's do this!

0:03:450:03:46

Here are the rules.

0:03:460:03:48

The stick flips must be performed

0:03:480:03:50

with only a single bounce between each flip

0:03:500:03:53

and only flips with a full 360-degree rotation will count.

0:03:530:03:57

To set a new world record,

0:03:570:03:59

the boys need to do six stick flips in a row.

0:03:590:04:02

Nic's up first. And he's off!

0:04:030:04:06

Wow! What a start!

0:04:070:04:09

Oh!

0:04:140:04:15

Oh, just one?

0:04:150:04:17

Can Henry do more?

0:04:180:04:20

One.

0:04:220:04:24

He's really po-going for it!

0:04:240:04:26

And that's two!

0:04:270:04:28

And three!

0:04:280:04:29

Oh!

0:04:310:04:33

So, they've both failed at their first attempt.

0:04:330:04:36

The key to success is doing as big a bounce as possible

0:04:370:04:40

to keep the momentum without losing control of the stick.

0:04:400:04:43

But that's easier said that done.

0:04:430:04:45

Nic and Henry have been pogoing for almost half an hour.

0:04:500:04:54

They just can't find their pogo mojo.

0:04:540:04:56

Guys, we're down to our last take. All right, let's do it!

0:04:590:05:02

Good luck, man.

0:05:020:05:03

This is exhausting stuff.

0:05:030:05:04

The boys have decided to give it one more go.

0:05:040:05:07

Nic's up first.

0:05:070:05:09

Can he bounce back from failure

0:05:090:05:10

and secure those six stick flips needed to set the new record?

0:05:100:05:14

No! Too many bounces after the flip and Nic's out.

0:05:150:05:19

So, it's all down to Henry.

0:05:190:05:22

Is the record even possible or will it be pogo no-go?

0:05:220:05:26

That's one.

0:05:280:05:30

That's two!

0:05:300:05:31

And three! If he makes this four,

0:05:320:05:34

it's the most he's done.

0:05:340:05:35

Yes!

0:05:370:05:38

Five!

0:05:380:05:39

If he gets six, he's hit the target.

0:05:390:05:42

Yes! That's six for Henry.

0:05:450:05:48

But remember, the pogo stick must turn 360 degrees each time to count.

0:05:480:05:53

Official Adjudicator Ben, how many were valid?

0:05:530:05:56

With that attempt, you achieved a total...

0:05:560:05:59

-of six stick flips.

-All right!

0:05:590:06:01

It's a brand-new Guinness World Records title.

0:06:010:06:03

How does that feel?

0:06:030:06:04

I feel pretty good.

0:06:040:06:05

It was tough but Henry held his nerve

0:06:050:06:08

and stick-flipped his way to the record.

0:06:080:06:10

# I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man. #

0:06:100:06:12

You are the man, Henry, the pogo man.

0:06:120:06:15

-BEN:

-Over to me in France now for something...

0:06:150:06:18

Argh! Grrr.

0:06:220:06:24

HE SNIGGERS

0:06:240:06:25

Argh!

0:06:250:06:26

HE SIGHS

0:06:260:06:27

Bonjour! I've come to France, the home of underwater biathlon,

0:06:270:06:31

also known as underwater archery.

0:06:310:06:34

Which is why I've changed into these rather natty swimming togs,

0:06:340:06:37

complete with bowtie which not only looks the part,

0:06:370:06:40

but also doubles up as a secret underwater swimming propeller.

0:06:400:06:44

Watch!

0:06:440:06:45

Could look at that all day.

0:06:450:06:47

But instead, let's go and meet underwater archery champion, Yohann,

0:06:470:06:50

and his competitor for today, Patrique.

0:06:500:06:52

They compete in archery underwater!

0:06:520:06:55

Using these specially designed spear guns,

0:06:550:06:58

a kind of hi-tech bow and arrow

0:06:580:07:00

that shoots the spears with a powerful rubber band.

0:07:000:07:03

Today, they'll be competing

0:07:030:07:05

against each other

0:07:050:07:06

and trying to break Yohann's world record for...

0:07:060:07:09

So, this is how it works.

0:07:110:07:13

The course is 15 metres long from starting point to target.

0:07:130:07:18

The competitors must swim underwater

0:07:180:07:20

until they are four metres from the target and shoot.

0:07:200:07:23

Then they retrieve their arrow, swim back to the beginning,

0:07:230:07:27

catch their breath and go again, firing three arrows each in total.

0:07:270:07:32

These guys are trained professionals.

0:07:320:07:35

Don't even think about playing darts in your local swimming pool!

0:07:350:07:39

Is it all about speed? Is it about holding your breath...

0:07:390:07:42

-Yes.

-..or accuracy? Is it all in there?

0:07:420:07:44

All in that.

0:07:440:07:45

You have to go fast and to be precise

0:07:450:07:49

and to return more fast, as possible.

0:07:490:07:53

-Yeah.

-And after, we have to breathe quickly.

0:07:530:07:56

HE PANTS And we go again three times.

0:07:560:07:58

So you go up to the surface very quickly, then back down again?

0:07:580:08:01

-Yes. Yes.

-Well, it sounds fantastic, guys, so bonne chance.

0:08:010:08:05

-Merci.

-Merci.

0:08:050:08:07

That was me speaking French. Talented!

0:08:070:08:09

Let's take a look at les regles.

0:08:090:08:12

That's French for the rules.

0:08:120:08:14

The archers must hit

0:08:140:08:16

one of the five targets

0:08:160:08:17

with each of their three arrows.

0:08:170:08:19

And each time the target is missed,

0:08:190:08:21

the archer has 10 seconds

0:08:210:08:23

added to their time.

0:08:230:08:24

Time penalties would be a disaster

0:08:240:08:26

as Yohann's current record

0:08:260:08:28

is a spectacularly speedy...

0:08:280:08:30

That's going to be tough to beat.

0:08:320:08:34

Patrique, Yohann, are you ready?

0:08:340:08:36

Trois, deux, un, zero!

0:08:360:08:39

And they're off! Stopping at the

0:08:390:08:41

four-metre mark, aim and fire!

0:08:410:08:44

Great shot, Yohann!

0:08:440:08:46

But Patrique has missed the target -

0:08:460:08:48

that's a 10-second penalty for him.

0:08:480:08:50

Now they have to retrieve their spears

0:08:500:08:52

and swim back to the start as fast as they can.

0:08:520:08:54

OK, so one shot's been fired already.

0:08:540:08:56

Quick air and then back under again.

0:08:560:08:59

Patrique is still trying to reload

0:08:590:09:01

as Yohann fires his second shot.

0:09:010:09:03

Ooh! Just in the target zone.

0:09:040:09:07

As Yohann swims to collect,

0:09:070:09:08

Patrique's loaded and ready.

0:09:080:09:10

But can he make up the time?

0:09:100:09:12

Takes the shot, hits the target!

0:09:120:09:15

Yohann's coming up for his last breath of air

0:09:150:09:17

before his final arrow.

0:09:170:09:19

And here comes Patrique.

0:09:190:09:20

He's caught up.

0:09:200:09:21

It's not over yet. Who can reload the quickest?

0:09:210:09:24

Yohann takes off.

0:09:240:09:26

Final spear now. Takes aim...

0:09:260:09:30

..and almost a bull's-eye.

0:09:300:09:31

Three out of three! Yohann collects.

0:09:310:09:34

Patrique's just behind him,

0:09:340:09:35

ready to shoot his final shot.

0:09:350:09:37

He's got to make this count.

0:09:370:09:39

No! Just outside the target.

0:09:390:09:42

That's another 10-second penalty

0:09:420:09:44

and Yohann's already finished.

0:09:440:09:46

Those two misses add 20 seconds

0:09:460:09:48

onto Patrique's time.

0:09:480:09:50

But immaculate shooting from Yohann

0:09:500:09:52

means no penalties.

0:09:520:09:54

Did he break his own one-minute,

0:09:540:09:55

four-second world record?

0:09:550:09:57

Firstly, Patrique, unfortunately,

0:09:570:09:59

because of your 20-second penalty,

0:09:590:10:01

you achieved one minute and 21 seconds, OK?

0:10:010:10:05

Oh, if only he'd been more accurate with his shooting,

0:10:050:10:08

he could have broken the world record.

0:10:080:10:09

But this is looking good for Yohann

0:10:090:10:11

and his triple perfect targets.

0:10:110:10:13

Yohann, you achieved 54 seconds, so congratulations!

0:10:130:10:17

-It's a new record.

-Ah-ha-ha!

0:10:170:10:19

-Whoo!

-Brilliant stuff. Well done!

0:10:190:10:22

Some sharp shooting and Officially Amazing underwater archery.

0:10:220:10:26

Yohann broke his own record

0:10:260:10:28

by 10 seconds!

0:10:280:10:29

By the beard of Poseidon,

0:10:290:10:31

that's quick!

0:10:310:10:32

Now let's continue this world tour

0:10:350:10:37

and stop off in Italy.

0:10:370:10:38

Here's Haruka.

0:10:380:10:40

Ow!

0:10:440:10:46

HARUKA: Ciao, bella! Welcome to Italy,

0:10:470:10:49

where this Canadian trio will attempt to claim a world record.

0:10:490:10:53

But what do you think it could be?

0:10:530:10:56

Well, the answer is...

0:11:040:11:06

This is the Russian bar. It's bendy and only 12cm wide.

0:11:090:11:14

Christine is going to do the backflips,

0:11:140:11:16

while Yves and Marco are in charge

0:11:160:11:18

of holding the bendy bar.

0:11:180:11:20

She has to trust them 100%,

0:11:200:11:22

otherwise she can be off the bar in just a second.

0:11:220:11:25

I have to trust them 100%,

0:11:250:11:27

otherwise I can be off the bar in just a second.

0:11:270:11:30

That's what I said!

0:11:300:11:31

To set a new world record, Christine

0:11:310:11:34

needs 20 consecutive backflips.

0:11:340:11:36

And if that isn't difficult enough, there's a rule.

0:11:360:11:39

She's only allowed to pause between

0:11:390:11:42

flips for five seconds at a time.

0:11:420:11:44

Any longer and the attempt is over.

0:11:440:11:46

Can she do it?

0:11:460:11:47

Look at Christine go!

0:11:490:11:51

As Christine pauses for breath,

0:11:530:11:55

the adjudicator counts down.

0:11:550:11:57

And she's off again!

0:11:570:11:59

Well within the five seconds.

0:11:590:12:01

Good work, Christine!

0:12:010:12:02

Another rest.

0:12:020:12:04

-Three, two...

-And another restart.

0:12:040:12:07

This is so physically demanding.

0:12:070:12:09

And check out Marco and Yves -

0:12:090:12:11

they have to use every bit of strength

0:12:110:12:13

to keep the bar in exactly

0:12:130:12:15

the right place

0:12:150:12:16

as they catch her and flip her back

0:12:160:12:18

up in the air again.

0:12:180:12:19

Phenomenal skill!

0:12:190:12:21

Another rest. Keep going, Christine!

0:12:210:12:23

-..two, one, zero.

-Argh!

0:12:230:12:24

That's more than five seconds.

0:12:240:12:26

No! She's had to stop.

0:12:260:12:28

This could be disastrous.

0:12:280:12:31

Did she manage enough flips to claim the world record?

0:12:310:12:34

Guinness World Record!

0:12:340:12:36

Yes! She got 39! A humungous record!

0:12:360:12:40

Christine, you are Officially Amazing!

0:12:400:12:43

-BEN:

-Brilliant!

0:12:430:12:44

Let's celebrate Christine's success in the traditional way -

0:12:440:12:47

go with me - by having a singsong!

0:12:470:12:49

All together now!

0:12:490:12:51

# Hooo-oooh! #

0:14:210:14:24

Well, I don't know about anyone else,

0:14:240:14:25

but I'm an OAP who needs a cup of tea.

0:14:250:14:28

Far too strenuous, this bungee jumping.

0:14:290:14:32

That's my new favourite song to sing about older people.

0:14:320:14:35

In your face, the Grand Old Duke Of York!

0:14:350:14:38

Right, I'm off to meet two young chaps who are...

0:14:380:14:41

SHE GIGGLES HE SIGHS

0:14:440:14:45

Meet Twist and Pulse, Britain's Got Talent runners up

0:14:470:14:51

and inventors of Streetomedy,

0:14:510:14:54

a beautiful combination of street dance and comedy.

0:14:540:14:57

They're already Guinness World Records title holders

0:14:570:15:00

and today, they'll be attempting to break their record for...

0:15:000:15:03

Let me give you an example of what that looks like.

0:15:060:15:08

Meet Twinge and Puke, a smaller but admittedly more stylish version

0:15:110:15:15

of Twist and Pulse. Hit it, fellas.

0:15:150:15:18

MUSIC: Single Ladies by Beyonce

0:15:180:15:21

So, it's a little something like that, but...

0:15:280:15:30

-Eeeh!

-Aargh!

0:15:300:15:32

..let's meet the real Twist and Pulse.

0:15:320:15:34

So, let's talk about records now

0:15:340:15:36

-because you boys are here to attempt a record today...

-Yes.

0:15:360:15:38

-..that you already hold.

-Yeah.

0:15:380:15:40

Are we excited for it?

0:15:400:15:41

Do we think we're going to improve on what you did before?

0:15:410:15:44

-Yeah.

-I think we are. We're feeling confident.

0:15:440:15:46

I think we did more moves that what we actually got for the record

0:15:460:15:48

-but they weren't in synch.

-So we lost.

-So we lost about 10.

0:15:480:15:51

-Wow, OK.

-So, we've had to clean that up

0:15:510:15:53

and make sure we keep those 10, as well as adding more.

0:15:530:15:55

Let's check out the rules.

0:15:550:15:57

Individual dance moves cannot be repeated.

0:15:570:15:59

And only moves in perfect sync will count.

0:15:590:16:02

Their current record is a mind

0:16:020:16:04

and body boggling...

0:16:040:16:05

Three, two, one, hit the track.

0:16:090:16:12

MUSIC STARTS

0:16:120:16:15

And they're off to

0:16:200:16:21

a blistering start!

0:16:210:16:22

Look at them perfectly

0:16:220:16:23

in time with each...

0:16:230:16:24

Oh.

0:16:240:16:26

-BEN LAUGHS

-OK, OK.

0:16:260:16:28

Stop the track please, DJ.

0:16:280:16:31

Eight seconds in

0:16:310:16:32

and they're doing different parts of the dance routine.

0:16:320:16:35

That's the opposite of synchronised!

0:16:350:16:37

Street-a-complete-muck-up.

0:16:370:16:39

Well, we're about to go for this. Twist and Pulse, are you ready?

0:16:390:16:41

-We're ready.

-Yes, we're ready to go.

0:16:410:16:43

-Anna, are you ready?

-Ready.

0:16:430:16:44

OK, let's do it!

0:16:440:16:46

MUSIC STARTS

0:16:460:16:48

Same moves again. Can they get past

0:16:530:16:55

that eight-second stumbling block?

0:16:550:16:58

Yes! Nailed it.

0:16:580:16:59

But there's still a long way to go.

0:16:590:17:01

It's so complex and so fast.

0:17:010:17:04

It's incredible they can even

0:17:040:17:06

remember this routine,

0:17:060:17:07

never mind performing it in sync.

0:17:070:17:10

Just 10 seconds left.

0:17:100:17:11

Look at me helping them out.

0:17:130:17:16

I'm basically a muse

0:17:160:17:17

for all street dancers.

0:17:170:17:19

-And that's it!

-Stop!

0:17:200:17:22

Oh, yes!

0:17:220:17:23

Yes, yes, yes. Yes!

0:17:230:17:25

Put it there. Come on!

0:17:250:17:27

I don't know about you at home,

0:17:290:17:31

but to me that looked pretty good.

0:17:310:17:33

But only moves in perfect harmony will count,

0:17:340:17:37

so the boys will have to wait while official adjudicator Anna

0:17:370:17:40

texts her mum.

0:17:400:17:42

I mean, reviews the dance in super slow-mo, move by move.

0:17:420:17:45

Have they done enough?

0:17:450:17:46

Unfortunately, I had to disqualify some moves.

0:17:470:17:50

I disqualified 16 moves and you had to beat your current record,

0:17:500:17:55

-which was 130.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:17:550:17:57

Remember, when they set the existing record,

0:17:570:17:59

they only had 10 moves disallowed.

0:17:590:18:01

Have they blown it?

0:18:010:18:03

In 30 seconds, you achieved 147...

0:18:030:18:06

THEY ALL CHEER

0:18:060:18:07

No! They absolutely smashed it!

0:18:070:18:10

An incredible...

0:18:100:18:12

Twist and Pulse are Street-icially

0:18:180:18:20

Street-azing! I think.

0:18:200:18:21

And now for something - dare I say it - even more hip!

0:18:210:18:25

Yeah! Whoo!

0:18:290:18:31

Uh-oh.

0:18:310:18:32

This series, we've emptied the piggy bank

0:18:380:18:40

to fly the world's top three record-breaking legends

0:18:400:18:42

to Great Britain,

0:18:420:18:44

stored them in a top secret location

0:18:440:18:46

and marvelled as they've competed against each other

0:18:460:18:49

to smash Guinness World Records titles that you can try at home.

0:18:490:18:53

Representing the UK, it's hard to believe he is but a mere human -

0:18:540:18:59

it's Sizzling Steve!

0:18:590:19:01

-AL:

-He back flipped all the way from America for Team USA.

0:19:010:19:06

It's the mini colossus, US Ray.

0:19:060:19:08

HARUKA: And competing for Japan, it's spangle-bottomed,

0:19:090:19:12

record-breaking superstar, Mr Cherry.

0:19:120:19:15

This is...

0:19:150:19:17

As things stand, Ray is in the lead with three wins,

0:19:230:19:26

a remarkable turnaround for the one-time loser of the competition,

0:19:260:19:30

thanks to his exceptional frog jumping and egg cupping skills.

0:19:300:19:34

But will he make it a hat-trick of heroics?

0:19:350:19:38

Let's find out what record our competitors will attempt today.

0:19:380:19:41

Now, today's challenge is...

0:19:410:19:43

Cherry San, are you ready? HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:19:470:19:49

-TRANSLATION:

-I'm all right, thank you, love.

0:19:490:19:51

Earlier on, Al, Haruka and I took part in our customary battle

0:19:530:19:57

to decide the order in which our record breakers would compete.

0:19:570:20:01

In the most brutal scenes ever witnessed on Officially Amazing,

0:20:010:20:05

we each threaded five needles as quickly as we could.

0:20:050:20:08

Which in Al's case was not in

0:20:100:20:11

the slightest bit quickly at all!

0:20:110:20:13

Haruka performed valiantly.

0:20:130:20:16

There! Beautiful!

0:20:160:20:18

'But, after a stirring pep talk from the Sizzler...'

0:20:180:20:20

-Please make sure you win.

-OK.

0:20:200:20:22

'..my ninja sewing skills claimed victory.

0:20:220:20:25

'Steve was almost lost for words.'

0:20:260:20:29

HE STUTTERS: I reckon Haruka will

0:20:290:20:30

have...problems...beating that.

0:20:300:20:32

After Ben's humble celebration...

0:20:320:20:34

Oh, yeah! That's how you make needlework work, baby!

0:20:340:20:37

..Team UK chose to go third in the marble challenge

0:20:370:20:41

so Steve could keep his secret tactics, well, secret!

0:20:410:20:44

Steve, there's a rumour that you have whittled your chopsticks

0:20:470:20:50

from one carefully selected branch of English oak. True?

0:20:500:20:53

-No, it's not quite true.

-Not true,

0:20:530:20:55

It's from my great-great grandfather.

0:20:550:20:58

From his wooden leg?

0:20:580:20:59

No, from a special branch hidden in Nottingham Forest.

0:20:590:21:02

He cut down that branch and he made the chopsticks

0:21:020:21:04

and it's been handed down through generations.

0:21:040:21:06

And is that what gives you the grip and the determination

0:21:060:21:10

to grab a marble each time?

0:21:100:21:11

Exactly.

0:21:110:21:13

Team UK talking absolute nonsense there.

0:21:130:21:16

Now, Ray has a chequered history with chopsticks, so this is tough.

0:21:160:21:20

I know that you're ambidextrous,

0:21:200:21:22

meaning you can use both your right and left hand.

0:21:220:21:24

Which one are you going to go with? Or are you...?

0:21:240:21:26

I might just have to surprise you.

0:21:260:21:28

You've come back his year with a whole new aura. I love it.

0:21:280:21:31

Well, I've been eating a lot of Chinese food lately,

0:21:310:21:33

just to prepare myself.

0:21:330:21:34

I've been eating a lot of Chinese food,

0:21:340:21:36

but just because I like Chinese food.

0:21:360:21:38

-I do it for both reasons.

-OK.

0:21:380:21:41

Al, it's going to take more than eating a few noodles

0:21:410:21:44

to out-chopstick Cherry.

0:21:440:21:46

So, last year, you moved jelly babies with chopsticks.

0:21:460:21:50

This year, you have to move marbles.

0:21:500:21:52

-Oh, marbles.

-HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:21:520:21:54

-TRANSLATION:

-Oh, marbles. They are slippery little devils,

0:21:540:21:56

but I have a cunning plan -

0:21:560:21:59

top quality chopsticks.

0:21:590:22:02

Luckily, they sell millions of chopsticks in Japan,

0:22:020:22:05

where I am from,

0:22:050:22:06

so I got me sent the same chopsticks as Japanese royal family

0:22:060:22:11

and when I use them, I am the chopstick king.

0:22:110:22:14

Oh, aye!

0:22:140:22:15

Let's have a look at the rules.

0:22:160:22:18

The marbles must be moved between two containers

0:22:180:22:20

at least one metre apart.

0:22:200:22:22

Only one marble can be moved at a time.

0:22:220:22:25

And only the chopsticks

0:22:250:22:27

can touch the marbles.

0:22:270:22:28

The record to beat is a massive 43 marbles in one minute.

0:22:280:22:33

But in Cherry and Steve,

0:22:330:22:34

we have two of the world's greatest chopstick musketeers.

0:22:340:22:38

Incredibly, in just two series of Officially Competitive,

0:22:380:22:42

Cherry San and the Sizzler have broken

0:22:420:22:45

every chopstick-related record we've ever thrown their way.

0:22:450:22:49

Will we witness another world record today?

0:22:490:22:52

HE SHOUTS

0:22:520:22:53

Well, we'll have to wait and see because we're...

0:22:530:22:56

contractually obliged to let Ray have a go first.

0:22:560:22:59

-You loosened up? You ready?

-I'm loose. I'm juiced.

0:22:590:23:01

I'm ready to go.

0:23:010:23:03

I'm going to count you in from three, two, one, go!

0:23:030:23:06

Yeah, go on, Ray!

0:23:070:23:09

Bad start for Ray - he's flung the first one off the table!

0:23:090:23:13

He just can't get to grips with this.

0:23:130:23:15

There we go, first one's in.

0:23:150:23:16

Ray's changed hands there. Will

0:23:160:23:18

his lucky left hand bring glory?

0:23:180:23:20

He's literally losing his marbles, Al!

0:23:200:23:23

This is better,

0:23:260:23:27

but is it too little too late?

0:23:270:23:29

Stop!

0:23:290:23:31

Another disappointing chopstick experience for Ray.

0:23:320:23:35

Surely no threat there?

0:23:350:23:37

Go chopstick!

0:23:370:23:39

-Cherry's up next.

-Arrrgh!

0:23:390:23:41

And in controversial scenes,

0:23:410:23:43

he's opting to do this without

0:23:430:23:45

the table, but with the tablecloth!

0:23:450:23:48

Good luck. Three, two, one, go!

0:23:480:23:51

Cherry rocketing out of the blocks.

0:23:540:23:56

This is incredible!

0:23:560:23:58

So much faster than US Ray.

0:23:580:24:00

Sorry, Team USA, but this is how you move marbles.

0:24:000:24:05

I'm worried for the Sizzler.

0:24:060:24:08

This is world-class chopsticking,

0:24:080:24:11

a joy to behold!

0:24:110:24:13

No mistakes, Steve.

0:24:130:24:14

You can't afford a mistake.

0:24:140:24:15

Stop!

0:24:180:24:19

-Agh!

-Ooh, well done.

0:24:190:24:21

Steve, he's really good.

0:24:210:24:23

A monumental effort from Cherry San.

0:24:250:24:27

But fear not, Steve fans -

0:24:270:24:29

the Sizzler has a secret weapon.

0:24:290:24:31

It's time to reveal...

0:24:310:24:33

Steve's lunchbox.

0:24:330:24:35

Yes, years of experience have taught Steve

0:24:350:24:38

that moving marbles into a plastic sandwich container

0:24:380:24:40

will make them less likely to bounce out.

0:24:400:24:43

And Steve's lunchbox is adjudicator approved. Tactical genius!

0:24:430:24:48

What have you taken from Ray and from Cherry?

0:24:480:24:51

Uh...nothing.

0:24:510:24:52

Great. A man, as always, of very little.

0:24:520:24:55

OK, Steve, it's sizzle time.

0:24:550:24:57

Three, two, one, go!

0:24:570:25:01

A terrible start!

0:25:020:25:03

But the Sizzler's

0:25:040:25:05

found his rhythm now.

0:25:050:25:07

Steve, come on.

0:25:070:25:08

Yes! Come on!

0:25:110:25:13

Cherry looks worried,

0:25:130:25:15

and rightly so -

0:25:150:25:16

Steve is a marble moving marvel.

0:25:160:25:18

Oh! Thanks for making me

0:25:180:25:19

look an idiot, Steve.

0:25:190:25:20

This means so much!

0:25:210:25:23

Come on, Steve!

0:25:270:25:28

Come on! Look at him go!

0:25:280:25:30

-Stop!

-Ooh!

0:25:330:25:34

In the Sizzle Zone! Tss!

0:25:340:25:36

Can you see that s-s-sizzle?

0:25:360:25:38

And so ends a tremendous

0:25:380:25:40

effort from the Sizzler.

0:25:400:25:41

This will be close.

0:25:410:25:43

Both Steve and Cherry displaying

0:25:430:25:46

superhuman marble moving abilities.

0:25:460:25:48

Official adjudicator Anna employs her counting skills.

0:25:480:25:51

Do we have yet another chopstick-related record?

0:25:510:25:55

Anna, please tell us - has anyone broke the world record?

0:25:550:25:59

Unfortunately, no-one here today broke a record.

0:25:590:26:02

Disappointing! We all thought we had a record.

0:26:020:26:05

But there is that vital competitive point to play for.

0:26:050:26:09

In third place, we have US Ray with 19.

0:26:090:26:12

Wahey! Yeah.

0:26:120:26:13

The traditional celebration of last place from Team USA there.

0:26:130:26:17

Still weird.

0:26:170:26:18

And then there was 40 and 41.

0:26:180:26:21

One got 40 and one got 41 - ridiculously close!

0:26:210:26:26

Who moved that vital extra marble - UK or Japan?

0:26:260:26:30

Japan got 41.

0:26:310:26:32

-Team Japan! Whoa!

-Team Japan! Japan!

0:26:320:26:37

HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:26:370:26:40

Chopsticks! Chopsticks! Chopsticks!

0:26:400:26:43

Another vociferous victory for Japan.

0:26:440:26:47

Mr Cherry only two marbles away from the record.

0:26:470:26:51

-Oh, winner...

-TRANSLATOR:

-Winner.

0:26:510:26:52

-From...

-From...

-Japan!

-Japan!

0:26:520:26:55

-Ha-ha-ha!

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:26:550:26:57

Steve is understandably distraught. He thought he'd smelt victory.

0:26:570:27:02

But it was just Mr Cherry's armpits.

0:27:020:27:04

Let's see how that

0:27:040:27:06

affects the scores.

0:27:060:27:07

It's more bad news for the Sizzler -

0:27:070:27:09

he's lagging behind on two.

0:27:090:27:11

But Cherry's right back in it,

0:27:110:27:13

joining Ray in the three wins club.

0:27:130:27:15

What will happen next? You couldn't possibly predict!

0:27:150:27:19

Just make sure you return next time

0:27:190:27:21

for more rambunctious record attempts like these!

0:27:210:27:24

# Well, who'd have thought you could shoot arrows underwater?

0:27:240:27:27

# Just look at these two guys

0:27:270:27:29

# Patrique and Yohann were the man that can

0:27:290:27:31

# And Yohann hit the record bull's-eyes

0:27:310:27:33

# Twist and Pulse's synchronised

0:27:330:27:36

# Dancing had us mesmerised

0:27:360:27:38

# Americans Henry and Nic

0:27:380:27:39

# Amazed us with their pogo flips

0:27:390:27:42
