This was no child’s play.
A New Zealand mom broke a world record for running across a track made of LEGOs — and she accomplished the impressive feat with bare feet.
Gabrielle Wall achieved the Guinness World Record for the fastest 100-meter barefoot run on LEGO bricks in January, but she went viral this week, amassing 9.3 million views, after Guinness World Records shared the feat on Instagram.
Many playfully commented on the post.
“No secret coaching, just years of midnight bathroom trips dodging Lego landmines left by her kids,” one wrote.
“Just need 2-3 kids with tons of Lego at home,” another added.
Others couldn’t wrap their heads around the unusual exercise.
“Why…would someone even start learning how to do this?” one asked.
“Proof moms will do anything for a day off,” someone else quipped.
Wall, a mother of two, completed the 100 meters in 24.75 seconds and shared that it was an item on the bucket list she created following a health scare in 2022.
“I am proud to have pushed myself to new limits,” she told Guinness World Records, calling it an “unforgettable” experience.
The track Wall sprinted on was constructed from an impressive 661 pounds of LEGOs, donated by Imagination Station, a New Zealand charity offering classes centered around the popular toys. LEGO was invented by a carpenter in Denmark in 1932 and is now produced in factories worldwide.
Guinness World Records also posted about Wall’s honor this week on its Facebook page, where someone commented, “She’s literally the most psychotic person on earth.”
