Guinness World Records (GWR), the official authority for record-breaking achievements, today unveiled the scale of Arab world contributions to record-breaking as it celebrates its Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of chronicling the extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GWR is celebrating 70 years as the global authority on record-breaking achievements. It all started with a pub question \u201cWhat\u2019s the fastest game bird in Europe?\u201d, a query that inspired the very first Guinness World Records book, compiled in a room above a London gym and published on 27th August 1955. That single volume sparked worldwide curiosity about extraordinary feats, and GWR has since authenticated thousands of records in sport, technology, the human body, super skills and collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To mark the moment, GWR are celebrating record holder achievements and milestone moments over the last 70 years, including a handful of record holders who have been positively impacted by record breaking in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday said<\/strong>: \u201cAs we mark the 70th anniversary of the release of our first edition back in the 1950s, we’re proud to be building on 70 amazing years as the global curator of superlative facts and achievements.
