“Now It’s a Joke”: Us Track Legend Slams Guinness World Records as They Promote Man Risking His Life

A fireman just perfected his fueling plan, earning him a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Although there were justifiable reasons to celebrate, many had conflicting feelings about his stint. The concept of retaining the record archives dates back to 1955 in one of the oldest reference books. While keeping up with generations can be tough, it appears that another odd entry has put the book in the news.

Michael Johnson, a legendary track and field athlete known for his forthright judgment, joined the dissenters over the latest record addition. While the record holds its credibility, the conflicting responses just give it more buzz.

What made Michael Johnson take a stance for his generation

A French fireman named Jonathan Vero set a record for the longest full-body burn run without oxygen, concluding in 17 seconds. He set two new records in the Guinness Book by running 272.25 meters for the longest full-body burn without oxygen. Although he has been training for this moment since childhood, sprinting champion Jordan did not react well to these wins, writing, “Guinness World Records was popular and cool when I was a kid in the 70’s. Now it’s a joke!”

As per Guinness World Records, the record for the longest full-body run without oxygen is a highly competitive position to attain and has been tried by many individuals since 2009. Finally, when the lightning-quick sprint made it to the records it surpassed the previous sprint record without oxygen by 68.02 meters. Vero was able to finish the race without assistance signaling the helpers that he was ready to be hosed down and given access to fresh air.

Licensed stuntman Vero had dreamt of winning big since he was a kid, hence, for him it was truly memorable. US legend’s reaction to the victories may be upsetting but the record-holder had the support of his friends throughout the moment. They put on protective suits before he began his record-breaking race and followed him while holding fire extinguishers just in case he needed them. After the dangerous stunt, what does Vero plan to do next?

The 39-year-old stuntman claims to have “strived every day” to earn the records, which the internet considers to be pretty ludicrous and life-threatening, in a post-record interview. His personal story is no less interesting since he spoke about how he enjoys being around a fire and playing with one since he was a little boy. He also treasures the memory of executing fire stunts in his leisure time, such as consuming flames and becoming the “human torch.”

Given the abundance of additional fire-related categories, the pyromaniac does not intend to stop at only two records now. He proclaimed, “I still have a lot of things to try and a lot of records to chase.” Further, he proudly shared his nickname-“cheater of death” and thinks that these terms will take on full significance in the upcoming months.
