San Diego Residents Set Guinness World Records In 2020

SAN DIEGO, CA —A Coronado woman now holds a Guinness World Record for being the oldest competitive rope skipping contestant. A set of siblings from Carlsbad holds the record for the oldest living triplets! Californians worked to earn Guinness World Records in 2020. What do you think of when you have to stay home for several months? Practicing jump shots? Perhaps the most toilet paper hoarded in a single household? Or how about the person who has sneezed the most, or the least, in an entire year?

The Guinness World Records remains the gold standard for measuring feats of strength, endurance, and the out of this world odd. In 2020, Guinness World Records were attempted, held, or broken by Californians across the state as they battled pandemic boredom.

In San Diego County, a few stood out in Patch's Top 20 Guinness World Records broken in 2020.
