[TableTennisDaily]

Max Fergus and Luke Logan have just broken the Guinness World Records for the longest ever table tennis rally, not missing a ball for an incredible 8.5 hours! Read more about this epic record here: http://bit.ly/183yxOa.

Think you could break the world record?

Haha nice one Did a 20 min long ball which ended to an unlucky net bounce like 7 years ago lol. It's really boring to just stand there, haven't tried those long balls after that =D It's easy shots of course but hard to stay focused all the time.. 8.5h is quite a nice achievement

That's a 'real' record to break.

I have thought long and hard about this record. I'd say this is an extremely hard record to break, the concentration levels need to be so high! Am I wrong there?

8+ hours is a LONG time to play without having to go to the pisser, so that goes down as an achievement.

In Iraq when we go on truck convoys... when we gotta piss, there is no stopping the trucks or convoy for that. You are sometimes on the road 16 hours. When you gotta piss, you get an empty Gatorade bottle, do Ur business and hand it to the gunner to throw away.

These guys were not in a position to handle their "business" during the time of this vid, it is not an easy thing to do.

Good point. If I remember rightly the previous world record holder to this record had 4 participants so they rotated every so often. Must have been so difficult!

How about longest counter-loop rally?

I don't even know what to say lol 8.5 hours...I can't imagine how mentally painful that would be but good on them haha

8.5 hours focusing om a ball is so boring. They should be VERY strong mentally.

How about longest counter-loop rally?

Because counter loop doesn't have a specific definition, a shot that seems a counter loop to me can seems a drive/hit to someone else so we can't select a rally for the longest counter looping rally.
