0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, officially # Amazing! #
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Ha!
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Greetings, salutations and hearty felicitations.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Behold, another episodic instalment of authoritatively perplexing
0:00:14 > 0:00:15is born.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16What?
0:00:16 > 0:00:19He means welcome to officially amazing!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22And here's what's coming up on today's show.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Our favourite super powered lung buster takes egg spinning to
0:00:27 > 0:00:28new levels of awesome.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31And a pair of fast
0:00:31 > 0:00:35and furious unicyclists take on a sprint hurdling record.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38But first, some rambunctious rotating.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Ahhhh!
0:00:45 > 0:00:46CRASH
0:00:48 > 0:00:53It's an ancient story passed down through generations of three daring
0:00:53 > 0:00:59dynamos competing for world record titles that you could try at home.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02They are, for America,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05wondrous warrior, US Ray.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09For the United Kingdom, gallant goliath, Sizzling Steve.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14And for Japan, tantalising titan, Mr Cherry.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Previously, on Officially Competitive.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Mr Cherry's debonair derriere waddled its way to a win in the speed
0:01:29 > 0:01:32bum walk, putting the score board deliciously deadlocked.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But today's challenge is all about bums on seats
0:01:37 > 0:01:39as our legends take on the record for
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Earlier on I witnessed The Sizzler in training. Prepare to be amazed.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51All right, Steve, let's see your record pace.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Keep going, Steve.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We've got all day.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03It's quite a privilege to watch such an icon at work.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05But Ray's still going to beat him.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06I know you've been training for this.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I'm a little worried that you're going to get dizzy,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10how are you going to avoid that?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Embrace the spin. Get the record and the win.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16What if you get really dizzy and you start to throw up?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Suck it up.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21That's disgusting and informative.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Ugh. Team USA in oversharing mode.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Now, some words of hope from Cherry-san.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Do you have any message to Ray and Steve?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- TRANSLATION:- I wish them luck and happy spinning.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I just hope none of us spin clear off 't chair.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42We all hope that, Cherry. It would certainly be against the rules.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Competitors must be sat on their chair throughout.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51They may only use their feet to increase spinning.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And only full 360 degree rotations will count.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00The record to beat is a dizzying 40 rotations in 30 seconds.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04And first on the chair is Mr Cherry.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Helmets are on today.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You can't be too careful when it comes to flailing office furniture.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Three! Two! One!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Go!
0:03:14 > 0:03:15- Yeeeowww!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18A bellowing battle cry from the big man. He wants this.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Ninja feet, ninja feet.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Cherry's feet are harnessing the power of ancient ninja
0:03:23 > 0:03:27warriors to help him spin his office chair.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- Adadadadadadada!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Go Cherry-san! - - Aiaiaiai!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Sounds like he's giving this everything.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Kaaa-ooo! Kaa-ba!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Yes, Al. If we cut to helmet cam, you can
0:03:38 > 0:03:42see in his eyes just how much Cherry is giving to this attempt.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46He's almost out of control!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Five! Four! Three!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Two! One!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53AIRHORN
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Cherry-san, kochi kochi.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58A valiant effort from Cherry.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01But the Sizzler has a secret anti-slip weapon.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03A patriotic carpet.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Steve, are you ready?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Uh, yeah, I think so.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I've never seen him so fired up.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Go!- Come on, Steve.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You've got me in a spin, Sizzler.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Sizzler's gone for the classic single foot spinning technique.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And he is gyrating like a dream.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Oooh, Steve's switched feet. He's lefty powered now.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32'Ambidextrous feet are of course a must for pro chair spinning.'
0:04:32 > 0:04:33He's going off-rug!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Let's go to helmet cam to see how that's affected him.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Hmm. It's hard to tell.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Dizzy Sizzy is a complicated beast, Haruka!
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- Five!- Come on!
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Three!
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Two!
0:04:47 > 0:04:48One!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50AIRHORN
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Not bad, Steve.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55But there's only one record breaking revolver around here.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59And, in a remarkable act of sportsmanship,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Sizzler has lent Ray his patriotic rug.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Time to spin it to win it, baby.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05- Let's do this.- All right,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08is there any final thing that you want to do before your attempt?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- Yes, Al.- All right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12CHAIR HISSES
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Aww, yeah. US Ray. Let's go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16- Three.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- Two.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- One.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19- Go!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let's go, Ray, come on!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23'This spinner's a winner!'
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Ray is a one footed chair rotator of some esteem.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31That star spangled leg makes my heart swell.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Ray's demonstrating a very smooth spin.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Almost effortless.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43But the pursed lips evident on helmet cam tell another story.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45100% focus.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49So focused, he's spun off the patriotic rug as well.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Let's go, let's go, pick it up, pick it up.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54- Four!
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- three!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- Two!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- One!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59AIRHORN
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Woo!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Ray made twirling around on a spinny chair look easy.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Humbling stuff.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11But did he do enough to win and take the lead in the competition?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And did anyone surpass that target of 40 rotations?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Shantha, did we break a world record?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18No.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Shantha, can you please reveal the results?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28In third place, with 24 spins, is...
0:06:32 > 0:06:33..Steve.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35THEY SIGH
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And in first place
0:06:38 > 0:06:41With 28 spins, is...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- ..Ray! - HE CHEERS
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Yes! Yes, yes.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Woo!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57An uncharacteristically balletic celebration from Team USA.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Ooh! And now some modern dance!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05My man Ray beat Cherry by just two spins
0:07:05 > 0:07:07to return to the top of the league.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09But who knows what will happen next time
0:07:09 > 0:07:13when our heroes battle with shuttlecocks and chopsticks.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17For now, Al and Haruka have exciting news from China.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Welcome to China and the return of the Incredible Ding!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Ding is the fireman with meteoric lungs,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37who we last saw in series three, breaking the world record
0:07:37 > 0:07:43for fastest time to blow up a balloon using a 100 metre long fire hose.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Mind-blowing blowing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Now, if we can have some quiet, please.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54I believe Ding himself is going to explain today's lung busting feat.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- TRANSLATION:- I'm going to put these here eggs in glasses, then blow on them
0:07:57 > 0:08:02so hard they flip over and their red bottoms go to the top.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04If I do it more than 30 times in a minute,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'll break my own world record. Nya-ha-ha!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So, Ding will attempt the record for...
0:08:13 > 0:08:17And if you think that sounds easy, watch this mere mortal have a go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25I think we've proved this is a near impossible task.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26But the crowd love it anyway.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Wow!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33He must have lungs the size of spacehoppers!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Ding's powerful breath creates a formidable jet stream of wind,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40which forces the eggs up and over.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43They're coming right out of the glass.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Ding doesn't know the strength of his own breath.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I'm struggling to think of a practical use for this skill,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52but I like it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55A masterful display of puffing. And time's up.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Has Ding beaten his own record of 30 eggs?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Yes!
0:09:03 > 0:09:0549 eggs!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ding dong merrily on high.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Now, over to Ben for some preposterous pedal power.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Yeah! Wooooo!
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Ow! Ugghhh.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OFFICIALLY SIGHS
0:09:21 > 0:09:24We first met freestyle unicyclists Mark Taylor
0:09:24 > 0:09:28and Simon Berry in series four as part of Team Voodoo,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30who smashed the spectacular
0:09:30 > 0:09:334 x 50 metre hurdle relay world record.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And now they're back, but this time they're rivals.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Yes, today Simon and Mike will go wheel to wheel,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45competing for the world record for...
0:09:49 > 0:09:54The objects in question are hurdles. And the men in question are here.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Last time each of you did one 50 metre lap.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01This time it's double the distance, is that going to take its toll?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- I mean after the fifth hurdle, it was getting...- Difficult.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Pretty tiring. This is going to really test our endurance.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Is there one who you think might just edge it or is there
0:10:13 > 0:10:14anything to separate you?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's extremely hard to tell, isn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Yes. I feel like Mike is much more comfortable in the jumps than I am.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23In terms of straight line speed I'm probably quicker.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- But in terms of the jumps you're... - It's going to be very interesting.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29And the first hurdles to clear are the rules.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34The hurdles must be at least 65 centimetres tall.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38The ten hurdles must be set over a course of 100 metres.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44And if a unicycle or unicyclist touches a hurdle the attempt
0:10:44 > 0:10:45is over.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51The record was set by German rider Lutz Eichholz back in series
0:10:51 > 0:10:52two, and stands at...
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Can Simon or Mike bring the record to Britain?
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Simon's up first.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Three.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Two.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04One.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Go.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Oh, it's a quick start, come on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Simon's soaring over the hurdles with room to spare.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Lovely.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Look how he uses his left arm to propel himself up and over.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Come on, Simon.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Ooh!
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Every leap is immaculate and he's so much faster than I expected.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Four hurdles left!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Pace all right, this is a pace.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Yes. Two more to go, come on, Simon.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45One more, last one, let's do this.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yes!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50A huge leap over the final hurdle. What a run from Simon.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- That was super quick.- Thank you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I mean that was incredibly fast.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think it's time for you to have a go, Mike. How are you feeling?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00After that run? That was a pretty good run.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Is that beatable?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Anything's beatable.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Ohh, fighting talk! Come on, let's go.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11After Simon's valiant vaulting, Mike needs something special just
0:12:11 > 0:12:13to beat him, let alone trouble the record.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Three.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Two.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16One.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Go.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20And Mike's off to a flyer.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Oooh!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27He twists over the hurdles, bending his knees to get extra height.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Luminous leaping.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yes, it's a good pace
0:12:31 > 0:12:33'The record could be in serious trouble here.'
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Three more to go now.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Mike's going so fast the cameraman's sprinting to keep up.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Not so the sluggish sound department.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Take your time.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Ooh, just the two.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Last one.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57AIRHORN
0:12:57 > 0:13:01'Another monumental monowheeled effort. But was it fast enough to
0:13:01 > 0:13:02'beat Simon and...'
0:13:02 > 0:13:05..Do we have a world record?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Mark?
0:13:06 > 0:13:12The record to beat today was a time of 1 minute 46.44 seconds.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The differences in time between each of your runs was just...
0:13:19 > 0:13:26So, with a time of 35.3 seconds...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Smashing the record by over a minute!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32..and the new Guinness World Records title holder
0:13:34 > 0:13:36it's Simon! Congratulations.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42A sensational performance from Simon!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45In fact, both guys obliterated the previous record.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48What a way to end the show!
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Until next time, friends,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53when we'll return with more dizzying delights like these.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55# Well, our boys were in a spin
0:13:55 > 0:13:56# For a competitive win
0:13:56 > 0:13:58# And a record for office chair rotation
0:13:58 > 0:14:00# Steve and Cherry did great
0:14:00 > 0:14:01# But Ray's 28
0:14:01 > 0:14:03# Were a cause for this lovely celebration
0:14:03 > 0:14:05# We saw Simon battle with Mike
0:14:05 > 0:14:07# On their speedy one-wheeled bikes
0:14:07 > 0:14:09# And over those ten tricky jumps
0:14:09 > 0:14:11# Simon came up trumps
0:14:11 > 0:14:16# And Ding's egg blowing was no yolking matter
0:14:16 > 0:14:18# But here come the rubbish bits

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Oh! Well, hello there, Mr Bond.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31We've been expecting you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Just doing a little nugget for any movie producers
0:14:34 > 0:14:36that are looking for a fresh face, you know.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37(Call me.)
