Odd news - Man sets new vertical running record

Vertical running is becoming popular in Europe


Running a hundred metre sprint isn't a new achievement. But running that distance down the side of a skyscraper is fairly extraordinary.



Swedish Adventurer, Tony Berglund was attached to an abseiling harness and ran down the building. Tony took over a second off the previous vertical running world record of 36.25 seconds when he hurtled down a skyscraper on May 12th in Vasteras, Sweden.



For the stunt to work the building had to be extended with the addition of a 20 metre framed structure making it the third highest skyscraper in Sweden on that day.



Tony said, "This is a once in a lifetime achievement."
