Australian table tennis player Dorothy De Low holds the Guinness World Record for the world's oldest athlete. She took up the game at the age of 50 and she was still playing competitively in 2010, when she attended the World Veterans' Championships in China-at the age of 100! 3Could you do a Rubik's Cube in 11.97 seconds? American Chris Dzoan did it in January 2010, but the world record is 7.08 seconds. Maybe Dzoan isn't the world's fastest problem solver, but he has another talent; he broke the record for completing the cube with one hand. 4 A German, Achim Artez, is a man who knows where he is going - but he can't see where he's going. Artez runs marathons backwards and in November 2009 he ran a half-marathon in Essen in 1 hour, 40 minutes and 29 seconds, a world record. 5 Suresh Joachim from Sri Lanka achieved a record in May 1997. He spent 76 hours and 40 minutes standing with just one foot on the floor. And he didn't fall over once! 6A Englishman Ken Edwards ate 36 cockroaches in one minute on a British TV show in March 2001. The programme which showed his strange meal was a morning show called..... The Big Breakfast! 7 What do you think is a long swim? 5,000 metres? Slovenian Martin Strel swam a thousand times as far as that in 2007. He was the first person to swim all 5,268 km of the world's most dangerous river, the Amazon, in 66 days. It was full of deadly crocodiles and piranhas, but Strel is a man who loves taking risks! 8 In April 2008, in Belgium, Jef Van Dijck wore 227 T-shirts at the same time. He wanted to see how many he could put on at once. By the 227th T-shirt, you could hardly написать вопросы на английском
