OCTOBER 16 2025

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about some of the most amazing human achievements in recorded history.

The human body is capable of amazing things and every year it seems we are rethinking what the human potential looks like.

For example it was thought for many years that people humans weren’t able to run a mile in less than 4 minutes then one day somebody did. Not long after the first person achieved this many others did as well because it was now thought to be possible because it had been done before.

Here are some of the records currently held by various humans doing various amazing things:
Fastest Mile:
* Men: The men’s record for the fastest mile run is held by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, who ran a blistering 3 minutes and 43.13 seconds on July 7, 1999.
* Women: The women’s record is held by Faith Kipyegon of Kenya, who set a time of 4 minutes and 7.64 seconds on July 21, 2023.
Leaping Prowess
Highest Jump (Vertical):
* The highest standing vertical jump is 1.70 meters (5 feet 7 inches), achieved by Christopher Spell (USA) on February 7, 2021.
Longest Jump:
* With a running start (Long Jump):
* Men: The world record for the men’s long jump is 8.95 meters (29 feet 4.5 inches), set by Mike Powell (USA) on August 30, 1991.
* Women: The women’s long jump world record is 7.52 meters (24 feet 8 inches), achieved by Galina Chistyakova (Soviet Union) on June 11, 1988.
* Without a running start (Standing Long Jump):
* The unofficial world record for the standing long jump is held by Byron Jones (USA), who jumped 3.73 meters (12 feet 3 inches) at the NFL Combine on February 23, 2015. While not an official track and field record, it is widely recognized as the best-documented standing long jump.
Tests of Endurance
Longest Time Holding Breath (Static Apnea):
* The record for the longest time holding breath without the use of pure oxygen beforehand (unassisted by this definition) is 11 minutes and 35 seconds, set by Stéphane Mifsud (France) on June 8, 2009.
* It is important to note that there is a separate record for static apnea with prior oxygen breathing, which stands at a remarkable 24 minutes and 37.36 seconds, achieved by Budimir Šobat (Croatia) on March 27, 2021.
Longest Note Sung:
* The world record for the longest continuous vocal note is held by Richard Fink IV (USA), who sustained a single note for 2 minutes and 1.07 seconds on November 17, 2019.
Most Hot Dogs Eaten in One Sitting:
* In the realm of competitive eating, the record for the most hot dogs and buns eaten in 10 minutes is held by Joey Chestnut (USA), who consumed an astonishing 76 hot dogs on July 4, 2021, at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Furthest Swim:
* The record for the longest unassisted, non-stop, un-fed, open-water swim is held by Sarah Thomas (USA), who swam a remarkable 104.6 miles (168.3 kilometers) in Lake Champlain in August 2017.
Furthest Underwater Descended (Freediving):
* The record for the deepest unassisted dive, known as Constant Weight No Fins (CNF), where the diver descends and ascends under their own power without the use of fins or a sled, is 102 meters (334 feet) for men, set by William Trubridge (New Zealand) on July 20, 2016. The women’s record is 73 meters (239 feet), set by Alessia Zecchini (Italy) on July 22, 2018.
Feats of Strength
Most Weight Lifted Overhead:
* In the sport of weightlifting, the heaviest weight ever lifted overhead is in the clean and jerk. The world record is 267 kg (588.6 pounds), lifted by Lasha Talakhadze (Georgia) at the 2021 World Weightlifting Championships.
Most Weight Lifted Off the Ground (Deadlift):
* The heaviest raw deadlift (without the aid of a deadlift suit) is 501 kg (1,104.5 pounds), lifted by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Iceland) on May 2, 2020.
Most Weight Carried:
* While records for carrying weight can vary depending on the method, one of the most recognized is the “Super Yoke.” The heaviest yoke ever carried for a set distance is 730 kg (1,609 pounds), carried over a 10-meter course by Tom Stoltman (UK) at the 2021 World’s Strongest Man competition.
Most Weight Thrown:
* In the sport of strongman, the record for the “Weight Over Bar” event, where a 56-pound (25.4 kg) weight is thrown over a high bar, is 20 feet 2 inches (6.15 meters), achieved by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Iceland) at the 2019 Arnold Strongman Classic.
Most Weight Held for Time:
* A common test of static strength is the “Hercules Hold,” where the athlete holds onto two pillars that are pivoting outwards. The world record is holding pillars weighing 160 kg (352.7 pounds) in each hand for 1 minute and 41.69 seconds, set by Mark Felix (UK) at the 2020 Europe’s Strongest Man competition.
Reaching New Heights
Highest Altitude Reached:
* The highest altitude reached by a human without the assistance of a vehicle for ascent is the summit of Mount Everest, which stands at 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet) above sea level. This has been achieved by thousands of climbers since the first confirmed ascent by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. For the purposes of this record, “unassisted” is interpreted as not using a helicopter or other vehicle for the majority of the vertical ascent.

Amazing right?

I was aware of some of these but not most and even the ones I already was aware of are still mind-boggling❕

What human record did you find most astonishing? I think it is either the running long jump for almost 30 feet or holding breath for over 11 minutes, crazy❕
