It is ahead of you, always ahead of you.” Ashrita Furman has set 187 official Guinness records over the past 25 years and currently holds 82 records. He has set records in all 7 continents and in more than 30 different countries and he has the official record for “The most current Guinness world records held at the same time by an individual,” Marco Frigatti, Head of Records, Guinness Book of World Records. I’ve always had a deep fascination with The Guinness Book of World Records. Maybe the fact that I was born four days after the Guinness Book was first conceived, in September 1954, has something to do with it. That was also the year Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile. Or maybe it was the sense of perfection about being the best in the world at something that attracted my interest. Whatever the reason, I remember poring through “the book” as a kid, filling my head with all those spectacular superlatives.Tick the topics about Ashrita that the author does not cover.Scanning□ countries he likes best
