Nigerian social media entrepreneur, Clara Chizoba Kronborg, has made history by setting a new world record for the longest interviewing marathon.
With an impressive time of 55 hours and 24 seconds, Clara surpassed the previous record of 37 hours and 44 minutes set by Rob Oliver from the USA in 2022.
As a talk show host on YouTube, Clara conducted interviews with 90 individuals from diverse backgrounds, including politicians, business owners, content creators, actors, and real estate agents. Her aim was to uncover the stories of success behind each guest’s journey in their respective fields.
The Guinness World Records (GWR) announced Clara’s achievement on their website, highlighting that the record-breaking attempt took place on a docked yacht in Marbella, Spain, where Clara currently resides.
Despite facing challenges such as hoarseness in her voice, Clara persevered by staying hydrated and managing to maintain her energy throughout the marathon.
During the grueling 55-hour marathon, Clara was allowed only five minutes of rest after each hour of interviewing. She wore adult diapers to cope with the constant intake of water to prevent losing her voice.
Despite facing physical discomfort, including intense menstrual cramps and backaches, Clara remained focused on her goal to set a new world record.
