MOST PEOPLE LIFTED AND
THROWN IN TWO MINUTES (FEMALE)
On 19 Dec 2008, Aneta Florczyk (POL)
lifted and threw 12 male volunteers
on the set of Guinness World Records
in Madrid, Spain. She broke the record
of 10, achieved minutes earlier by Irene
Gutierrez (ESP). Aneta rose to fame
when a video of her rolling up a frying
pan with her bare hands went viral.The North Korean weightlifting team attributes its success
to a diet of kimchi (fermented cabbage) and cold noodles.Pictured to the
