Some records are impressive, like running a mile in 3 minutes, 43 seconds. Or even fastest mile running backwards at 5 minutes, 54 seconds. But other records are just weird. And that’s what this list is about . . .

The news site UPI put together a list of the weirdest world records broken in 2022. Here are the top ten in no particular order . . .
