Ashrita Furman of the US holds a tiger on a leash, at the start of a world record attempt, while skipping at the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi province, 120km (75 miles) north-west of Bangkok, February 4, 2007. Already holder of many Guinness World Records Furman attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest time skipping (like children skip, without a jump rope) 5km (3 miles) on Sunday, having to complete the 5km in less than 40 minutes. To make the attempt more interesting, Furman skipped the first 100m and 75m of the last 100m holding the tiger. He finished the attempt in 35 minutes and 19 seconds and is awaiting official confirmation from Guinness World Records. [Agencies]
