Josef Shalek from the Czech Republic set a new world record for standing in the bar . Its result is 9 hours, 38 minutes and 47 seconds. The man accepted the challenge at the AVATAR Festival in Pilsen.
The record holder admitted that the most difficult time was between the seventh and eighth hours – severe pain and dizziness began. However, self-belief and the support of the public helped to resist, he added.
Five years ago I was 15 kilograms overweight, I loved alcohol and cigarettes. But a certain moment that changed my life led me to this transformation.
