A Swedish man threw a washing machine a distance of 14 feet and 7.2 inches to break a Guinness World Record in Italy.

Strongman Johan Espenkrona cleaned up his Dutch counterpart Kelvin de Ruiter in a head-to-head competition at the Guinness World Records’ Lo Show Dei Record in Milan.

Taking on the world record of farthest washing machine throw of 13 feet and 6.6 inches set by Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania, the Nordic rivals took turns throwing washing machines on the set of the weekly TV show.

The Guinness World Record was initially broken by De Ruiter with a 14-foot, 1-inch throw. However, Espenkrona eventually topped that washer toss by throwing his washing machine 14 feet and 7.2 inches.

While this unusual record-breaker throw was all about brawn, another Guinness World Record throw attempt involved brains that made possible the farthest flight of a paper plane.

A paper-aircraft enthusiast trio previously achieved the title by sending their plane a distance of 252 feet and 7 inches in South Korea, according to Guinness World Records.

It was designed, folded and thrown by South Korean pair of Kim Kyu Tae and Shin Moo Joon alongside Chee Yie Jian of Malaysia as the team took the record set by American duo of quarterback Joe Ayoob and John M. Collins, who threw the glider 226 feet and 10 inches back in February 2012 to officially retain the throne for 10 years.

Interestingly, all eight attempts by the “Shin Kim Chee” team surpassed the now-second best as even the shortest throw of their paper plane was enough to break that Guinness World Record.
