How has the pandemic impacted the world of Guinness World Records, and what new records have emerged as a result?

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the world of Guinness World Records, both in terms of the challenges faced by record holders and the emergence of new records related to the pandemic. The pandemic has made it difficult for record holders to continue pursuing their records due to lockdowns, travel restrictions, and social distancing measures. However, it has also led to the emergence of new records related to the pandemic.

One new record that emerged as a result of the pandemic is for the longest time spent submerged in ice. A man in China spent over two hours submerged in ice cubes as a way to boost his immune system and combat the effects of the pandemic. Another record related to the pandemic is for the most push-ups in one hour using one hand while carrying a 60-pound backpack. This record was set by a man in the United States who wanted to raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by frontline workers during the pandemic.

Other new records related to the pandemic include the fastest time to run a marathon while wearing a face mask, the largest online art lesson, and the most people in a video relay holding a plank position. These new records demonstrate the resilience and creativity of individuals in the face of the pandemic.
