Kortney Olson of the US has set a new Guinness World Record for crushing 3 full-sized watermelons with her thighs in just 7.5 seconds.
The most incredible thing about the attempt is that Olson crushed the fruit in nearly half the time of the previous Guinness World Record of 14.65 seconds, which was set by Ukrainian bodybuilder Olga Liashchuk in 2014.
She also managed to beat the male record, which was set at 10.88 seconds by Rohollah Doshmanziari, an Iranian athlete.
The record was broken at the opening of Olson's new clothing store in Las Vegas on 4 June, according to reports.
However, there were no Guinness World Record officials in attendance due to the pandemic.
Watch it here:
"I just decided in correlation with our store opening because it's a community space and we really want to start utilizing the space to teach things, to share this watermelon-crushing story with younger girls," Olson told the Eureka Times-Standard.
"You've got to have two witness affidavits, you have to use two official stopwatches that are within a tenth of a second, and then you take the average of your two timekeepers. You go through quite an extensive application process and then go from there," she added.
Olson said she completed an eight-week watermelon crushing course to prepare for the record-breaking attempt.
The bodybuilder has also expressed her ideas for National Watermelon Day, which is observed on August 3.
"My vision is just seeing a tonne of women on 3 August on National Watermelon Day crushing the crap out of some watermelons."
