Our friend Tom Van Biesen from Pasar Actief Kubbteam set a new record on Saturday 16th June, completing 24 hours of Kubb and raising thousands for cancer charities in the process!
Tom Van Biesen at the 24 hour point
What an effort! Tom played for 24 hours straight, with 5 minute breaks for every hour completed, as per Guinness World Records Standard format. The plan allowed Tom to be accompanied in 2v2 games, or to play alone in the 1v1 games, but Tom played every single game, inkasting throughout. Tom completed over 100 games in the 24 hours, which started at 6pm local time on Friday 15th June. The screen grab here from the live stream shows the moment that the clock ticked over to 6pm on Saturday 16th, completed a full 24 hours.
Tom looks about as fresh as he did at the start! It’s hard to consider the effort required to take on this type of activity, and watching at points throughout the 24 hours session, you’d be hard pressed to see any noticeable change from the extraordinarily high level of skill that we’ve seen from Tom in our own tournament.
At UKKubb we are delighted to donate to Tom’s charity, and particularly so as Tom wore UKKubb logo’d T-shirts throughout, and played every game with a specially made UKKubb Championship kubb set. We are so proud to be even a small part of this amazing effort, and with the extra PR, we may find a bigger group of Belgian players coming to UKKubb 2023. Better get practicing, folks!
Well done Tom!
