Buchmann smashes Everesting record
Bora-Hansgrohe rider climbs 8848m in 7 hours 28 minutes
---------- Добавлено в 08:28 ---------- Предыдущее сообщение было в 08:13 ----------
Упс. Группа, мониторящая эверестинг не признала рекорд Бухманна:
“An amazing ride, truly amazing – but unfortunately, no record falls today!” wrote the group Hells 500 on its Facebook page. The Hells 500 group, which oversees the Everesting record, posted on its Facebook page the reasons why Buchmann’s attempt fell short.
1) Unfortunately the first climb was on the other side of the mountain, which means these were not repeats of the same climb
2) The quoted time of 07:28 is moving, not elapsed time
3) Putting aside the ‘Everesting’ component of it, for interests sake the moment the 8848m/29029ft was hit was actually 07:51:42
Поэтому рекордменом остается Киган Свенсон:
U.S. national cross-country mountain bike champion Keegan Swenson took the unofficial record time for completing an Everesting challenge Saturday.
Swenson rode 29 repeats of the Pine Canyon Road climb, Salt Lake City, in a time of seven hours 40 minutes, clocking up 29,680 feet (9,046 meters) of elevation on the way. The 11 percent climb featured in last year’s Tour of Utah. The 105-mile effort was rendered all the more impressive by the fact it was carried out at 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) altitude.
Swenson’s ride beat the current Everesting record set earlier this week by former pro roadie Phil Gaimon, who rode 60 reps of Mountaingate Ridge Road, Los Angeles, in seven hours 52 minutes.
