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