Australian fitness enthusiast Olivia Vinson, 34, has shattered the Guinness World Record for the most pull-ups completed by a female in 24 hours, nearly doubling the previous mark.
Vinson achieved an incredible 7,079 pull-ups during a continuous 24-hour attempt, surpassing the former record of 4,081 set by Polish athlete Paula Gorlo in 2021.
In an interview with Guinness World Records, Vinson recalled initially laughing off the challenge when her husband and coach suggested it. “I thought there was no way,” she said. But after doing the math, she began to believe the goal was within reach.
Her journey included setbacks, as her first attempt was cut short after 12 hours due to a bicep tendon injury, requiring a two-month break from training. Undeterred, she resumed her preparations and made a second attempt.
Despite facing fatigue and nausea nineteen hours into the challenge, Vinson maintained an average pace of five pull-ups per minute. “My concern was whether my body would hold out,” she admitted.
Vinson described her record-breaking feat as a powerful example of human potential and pushing personal limits. “I’ve achieved a number I genuinely didn’t think was possible for me at first,” she said. “World records serve as a clear benchmark for what the human body can achieve.”
