American Shatters World Stone-Skipping Record

An American man has been named the new official world stone-skimming champion after casting a stone that skipped on water an astonishing 51 times.

Russell Byars, a 43-year-old engineer from Pennsylvania, shattered the previous world record of 40 skims on July 19 - but it took officials from the prestigious Guinness Book of Records until this weekend to declare him the new record holder.

Even though Byers threw 40 stones that day, it was the first throw that broke the record. You can view a video here.
