Fire fighter lifts atlas stone 194 times for world record
An American fire fighter from Colorado broke a Guinness World Record by lifting a 193,2-pound atlas stone 194 times in one hour. Dylan Miraglia, a fire fighter with the Hygiene Fire Protection District in Boulder County, said he was flipping through the Guinness Book of World Records one day when he spotted a weightlifting challenge he couldn't resist. "They had a record for who could lift the most weight by atlas stone in sixty minutes," Miraglia told KDVR-TV. "And I saw that and I was like, 'OK, I could beat this, I know I could beat this.'" Miraglia lifted a 193,2-pound atlas stone 194 times in one hour, a grand total of 37 470,8 pounds. He beat the previous record by about 8 000 pounds. The fire fighter said he is now working toward breaking a Guinness World Record involving Turkish kettlebells.
