Meet Andre Ortolf. It’s fair to say that this German is an eccentric.<\/p>\n

He’s also the current world record holder for the fastest 100m while wearing ski boots.<\/p>\n

\nHolder of three world records<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21 year old from Augsburg in Germany will be featured in the 2016 Guinness World Records Book for three different world records.<\/p>\n

These include the fastest 100m while wearing clogs (16.27 secs), the fastest 100m while wearing ski boots (17.65 secs) and, to prove that he can’t be pigeon-holed, he also has set the furthest distance to blow a pea (7.51 metres).<\/p>\n

\n‘Hot and uncomfortable’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ortolf set the record earlier this year at the\u00a0Ernst-Lehner Stadium in Augsburg, Germany. \u00a0 He described the most difficult part about running in ski boots as ‘being very hot and very uncomfortable.’<\/p>\n

Andre’s advice for anyone who wants to beat it is to ‘try it, try it and try it again’.<\/p>\n

Could you set a new record?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chaletline team<\/a> are sure there must be someone out there who can beat Andre’s record.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to have a go, please let us know and we’d be delighted to sponsor you. \u00a0Best of luck!
