World Records in 2025 are crazier than ever, and you won’t believe some of the things people have pulled off! Ever catch yourself scrolling and thinking, “Wait… someone really did THAT?” Every year, people across the world find new, unexpected, and often mind-blowing ways to push human limits — and 2025 has been no exception. From underwater stunts to high-speed daredevils, this year’s world record-breakers have truly raised the bar (and sometimes, their eyebrows).
Let’s dive into 5 of the craziest real-world records officially set in 2025.
1. Running Marathons… in a Rhino Suit
Chris Green, famously known as “Rhino Boy”, completed his 113th marathon in the same 10kg rhinoceros costume, setting a new Guinness World Record in 2025.
Not only is that a wild commitment to cardio, but he also did it to raise awareness for rhino conservation, because saving wildlife while dressed as one? Iconic.
2. Fastest Human in a Wingsuit
Chilean daredevil Sebastián Álvarez achieved the fastest wingsuit flight ever recorded, hitting an insane 550 km/h (342 mph).
He basically turned himself into a human missile — soaring over Chile and right into the record books.
3. Deepest Underwater Photoshoot with a Model
Canadian photographer Steven Haining captured the most surreal record yet: a model photoshoot held at 49.80 meters underwater.
It’s like combining a fashion editorial with deep-sea diving — elegant, eerie, and absolutely unforgettable.
4. Most Rope Crossovers While Skipping on One Leg (30 Seconds)
At just 17, Nigerian student Philip Solomon wowed the world with his agility by doing 69 rope crossovers on one leg in half a minute.
Proof that skipping rope isn’t just for playgrounds — it’s Olympic-level talent when you do it like this.
5. Fastest Descent Down 50 Steps While Walking on Hands
From Nepal, Hari Chandra Giri literally turned the world upside down by descending 50 stairs on his hands, faster than anyone ever has.
Balance, speed, and absolute core control. We’re dizzy just thinking about it.
Final Note
2025 has shown once again that human creativity and determination have no limits. Whether it’s in the sky, underwater, or upside down on stairs, people continue to do things most of us wouldn’t even imagine.
So next time you feel stuck or unmotivated, just remember — someone out there broke a world record by skipping on one leg or running in a rhino suit.
