Xiangtan News (reporter Shui Xiang Zhang, correspondent Ying Chen--- No. 401, Building Two, Xiangjiang Four Seasons Garden, South Construction Road, Zhuzhou) "Iron Shoes King" Zhang Zhenghui returned from his performance in Rome, Italy. At 6 p.m. yesterday, I interviewed him by telephone from afar in Guangzhou. He was very excited: "This time in Italy, I walked barefoot wearing iron shoes weighing 123 kilograms and covered a distance of 10 meters in 26 seconds, creating a new Guinness World Record."
It is understood that on March 15, Zhang Zhenghui flew from Guangzhou to Rome, Italy. This trip was at the invitation of Rome Television to challenge the Guinness record he had created. "At 4 p.m. on March 19, the challenge took place at Rome Television. First, I blew up two hot water bags with my nose, then I walked in iron shoes," Zhang Zhenghui told reporters excitedly. "In November last year, when I challenged on CCTV's Zhen Da Variety Show, the weight of the shoes I wore was 122 kilograms, and it took me 36 seconds to walk 10 meters. This time, the weight of the iron shoes increased to 123 kilograms, but even I didn't expect that it only took me 26 seconds to walk 10 meters, which was 10 seconds faster than the original record. I received the Guinness gold medal on the spot and set a new Guinness record."
According to Zhang Zhenghui's introduction, since his successful challenge last year, he has been full of confidence. In order to challenge higher records, he has been working hard to exercise. During this challenge in Rome, many overseas Chinese and compatriots came to cheer for him, making him very confident, so he once again set a new Guinness record.
