GUINNESS GLADIATOR ATTEMPTING 3 WORLD RECORDS IN NINETY MINUTES

What do juggling chainsaws, running a marathon while flipping pancakes, and balancing a car on your head have in common? These are all things people have done for a Guinness World Record. Join Brent Bambury on GO! this Saturday morning as he welcomes Guinness gladiator Suresh Joachim.  Suresh has breakdanced the longest, moonwalked the farthest, and can peel and eat a lemon in thirty seconds.  He's broken over forty world records and will attempt another three during the ninety minute show.  And just when you think you've been productive by 10:05 on your Saturday morning.  

Following are the 3 world records he will be taking on:
THE LONGEST TIME HOP ON ONE LEG ON A TREADMIL
MOST EGGS HELD IN THE HAND
MOST SQUAT-THRUSTS IN ONE MINUTE 

The current record is:
The record for the longest time to hop on one leg on a treadmill at a constant speed of 6.5 km/h (4.1 mph) is 2 min 17 sec and was set by Nicolas Thomas (France)  

The record for the most eggs held in the hand is seventeen and was achieved by Rob Beaton (USA) in Ocean Gate, New Jersey, USA, on 10 January 2007. 

The record for the most squat thrusts in one minute is 56 and was set by Robert Natoli (USA) in Oswego, New York, USA on 10 February 2007
