35 分钟Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you this week from the stand in Newcastle!
I am sitting here with Anna Chazinski,
James Harkin and Andrew Hunter Murray and once again we have gathered round the microphones to share our four favourite facts from the last seven days and now it is time for fact number one and that is James.
Okay, my fact this week is that Mo Farah has only won Guinness World Record and it is in the 100 metre sack race.
When?
Was it like a school sports day here?
I don't know why he did it but he did it.
I read an article and it said Mo Farah needs a world record to seal his place among the all-time greats and I thought I'll check
if he has one and he does.
He has one other one which is a two mile indoor run but that's not in the Guinness Book of Records but this in the Guinness Book of Records this is the only one and he's about to lose it.
What really?
Yeah and there's a guy called Stephen Wildish from Rotten and Mo Farah got 39.91 seconds for his 100 metres and Stephen Wildish has already got 28 seconds okay but unfortunately two weeks after he did it he got a letter from Guinness saying
that to get the world record he needed a 50 kilogram sack and his sack was only 30 kilograms.
I thought for a second you meant the sack had to weigh 50 kilograms and I am amazed anyone finishes it.
So anyway I got in touch with Stephen Wildish and he's going to repeat his attempt next week and he's really confident
that he's definitely going to do it and so that means
that by probably the week after this goes out Mo Farah will have no Guinness world records.
So we snuck in right up this definitely needs to go out this Friday James what's the speed that he managed to clock in for the record?
So Stephen managed to do it at 28 seconds for the 100 meters so a normal 100 meters for Usain Bolt will be just under 10 seconds so you know it's not that fast but it's quite fast and I asked him why I asked Stephen why he was so much better at the sack race than Mo Farah and he says he says unlike Mo I have little legs but large calf muscles and I asked him
