 | | David Rush set out to break one Guiness World Record (GWR) every week of 2021. Rush is an author, speaker, and entertainer from Idaho who describes himself as “one of the most prolific Guinness World Record title holders on the planet."
On the bio page of his website, Rush wrote, “He is the world’s fastest jugglers, the world’s slowest juggler, and has the record for most bowling balls juggled, most consecutive ax juggling catches, and longest duration balancing a bicycle on the chin.” He has reportedly broken more than 150 records since 2015.
Rush has promoted the STEM curriculum through talks with students, educators, and corporations. He told NPR, "STEM is hard and when a student struggles with science or fails at math, they may say they can never be an engineer," he wrote. "In 2015 I broke my first GWR to create a tangible example for folks to show that if you set your mind to a goal, believe in yourself, and pursue it with passion, you can accomplish nearly anything. Going on to break an average of 1 a week is an extension of that to inspire kids to pursue hard STEM subjects and anyone to pursue anything that's hard."
A spokesperson for GWR confirmed to NPR that Rush achieved a total of 43 GWR titles over the 52 weeks of 2021, and the rest have been submitted for approval. Rush said he has 10 or 11 pending a review, and has “a couple extra in case any are not approved for any reason.”
