61-Year-Old DonnaJean Wilde Sets New World Record Holding Plank for Five Hours
DonnaJean Wilde, a 61-year-old Canadian grandmother, set a new world record by holding a plank position for five hours at the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah. This achievement surpasses her previous record of four hours and 30 minutes. The plank requires maintaining a straight body supported by forearms and toes, demanding significant endurance. While the record awaits official Guinness World Records ratification, Wilde's feat has drawn admiration and some debate over her form during the attempt.
