2 min read
In a remarkable feat of endurance and determination, Clara Kronborg, a Nigerian social media entrepreneur hailing from the vibrant city of Onitsha, Anambra State, has clinched the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous interviewing session.
Kronborg shattered the previous record held by Rob Oliver from the United States, clocking an impressive average of 55 hours and 24 seconds. Her groundbreaking achievement was realized through her YouTube talk show titled “Women’s World Show,” where she engaged in insightful conversations with 90 individuals from diverse backgrounds, spanning politicians, business leaders, content creators, actors, real estate agents, and more.
The discussions delved into the journeys and triumphs of her guests in their respective fields, serving as a source of inspiration for viewers worldwide.
Reflecting on her motivation for undertaking this monumental endeavor, Kronborg expressed her commitment to amplifying diverse voices, particularly those of resilient women, and leveraging their stories to empower others grappling with similar challenges.
The record-setting marathon interview took place aboard a docked yacht in the picturesque Spanish city of Marbella, where Kronborg currently resides. Despite facing adversities such as heavy rainstorms, which tested her resolve, Kronborg persevered, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of the interview by staying hydrated and maintaining her focus.
Adhering to the stringent guidelines for marathon attempts, Kronborg was allotted five minutes of rest after each hour of interviewing, during which she could rest, refresh herself, or attend to personal needs. To cope with the demands of the marathon, including the necessity of staying hydrated, Kronborg resorted to wearing adult diapers throughout the duration of the interview.
In a testament to her unwavering dedication, Kronborg disclosed overcoming additional challenges, including menstrual cramps coinciding with the interview, yet remained steadfast in her pursuit of the record.
Kronborg’s achievement adds to the growing list of Nigerians making strides in the realm of world records, further underscoring the nation’s indomitable spirit and capacity for excellence.
