History of Guinness World Records

The story of Guinness World Records began in 1954. Sir Hugh Beaver, the boss of Guinness Brewery, had a debate about the fastest game bird but couldn't find the answer. He asked twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter to gather facts and figures into a book. This book eventually became the Guinness World Records we know today.

With their latest Guinness World Record, the Shivganga Roller Skating Club has once again demonstrated their exceptional prowess in roller skating. Their achievements continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
