Eleven lines - one record
http://www.tubechallenge.com/forum/
At the Moscow Olympics in 1980, in the Women's Pentathlon, held for the last time before it was expanded to the Heptathlon, all three medallists (all USSR) broke the world record. They finished the final event, the 800m, in reverse order. Bronze medallist Olga Kuragina won the 800m in 2:03.6, silver medallist Olga Rukavishnikova was second in 2:04.8 and gold medallist Nadiya Tkachenko was third in 2:05.2. Although only Tkachenko's eventual world record was ratified by the IAAF, the Guinness Book of Records used to list Rukavishnikova as the shortest reigning world record holder at 0.4 seconds.greatkingrat wrote: ↑08 Jun 2020, 22:19 3 different people broke the triple jump world record on the same day in the 1968 Olympics and they all counted as official world records, so why not the same for tube challenges?
It would be nice for everyone who's ever wanted the world record (and include myself) to get the record. Then from the day after the Andi's, Steveooo's, Clive's, Geoff's etc can get the fastest time they can.
Diamond Geezer has already visited them, but not all on the same day. He made a blog post too: https://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2015 ... stops.html
Depends if you are allowed to use trains to get between the bus stops, or only travel by bus.
I'd say that trains are allowed since from what I can work out none of the four bus stops are near train stations. Reminds me of baseball going to four points on a diamond...greatkingrat wrote:Depends if you are allowed to use trains to get between the bus stops, or only travel by bus.
