This was no child’s play.
A New Zealand mom broke a world record for running across a track made of LEGOs — and she accomplished the impressive feat with bare feet.
Gabrielle Wall earned the Guinness World Record for fastest 100 meter barefoot on LEGO bricks back in January — but she went viral this week, racking up 9.3 million views, after Guinness World Records posted the effort on Instagram.
Many playfully commented on the post.
“No secret coaching, just years of midnight bathroom trips dodging Lego landmines left by her kids,” one wrote.
“Just need 2-3 kids with tons of Lego at home,” another added.
Others couldn’t wrap their heads around the unusual exercise.
“Why…would someone even start learning how to do this?” one asked.
“Proof moms will do anything for a day off,” someone else quipped.
Wall, a mother of two, ran the 100 meters in 24.75 seconds and explained it was one of the items on the bucket list she wrote after she suffered a health scare in 2022.
“I am proud to have pushed myself to new limits,” she told Guinness World Records, calling it an “unforgettable” experience.
The track Wall sprinted through was constructed from a staggering 661 pounds of LEGOs, which were donated by Imagination Station, a New Zealand charity that offers classes centered around the popular toys — which were invented by a carpenter in Denmark in 1932 and are now made in factories around the world.
Guinness World Records also posted about Wall’s honor this week on its Facebook page, where someone commented, “She’s literally the most psychotic person on earth.”
