A dozen or so domino players gathered in Langfang, Hebei province, on Dec 13 to announce a challenge for the Guinness World Records domino-toppling record.
The current world record is 303,621 dominos, by China's Ma Lihua in 2003 in Singapore. Liu Yang is going to challenge the record on Dec 31. He outshone more than 1,000 rivals in trials, after practicing for 10 hours a day for a month, laying down 10,000 dominos a day.
"It's a game of skill, physical strength and patience. I'm very confident," Liu says.
Beijing Television Station (BTV) will broadcast the event as part of its New Year program. |
