Bid for Guinness

Is it OK to be impressed and disgusted at the same time? Hope so, because I tend to have very mixed emotions with stuff like this. Small kids running a full Marathon, being beauty "queens", or breaking records ...

Story:
Mysore, India -- Over 400 people including dignitaries watched with awe as Deia S. Urs, the six-year-old wonder karate kid broke 31 clay tiles in just 60 seconds with her forehead in Manasagangotri here today.

The event was filmed as per statutory rules and will be sent for a likely entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. There is no record of such an event, it is learnt.

The event took place from 11.09 am to 11.10 am. About 40 tiles were arranged in a single row and Deia broke it with effortless ease and composure, 31 of them in just a minute. The target set was actually 30 but she exceeded that.

Deia is a student of Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate Do-India, Kuvempunagar. Her trainers were present.
