1001 Photography motive # 72 Guinnes world record in pool playing marathon

On monday 5 of April Ingi Thor Hafdisarson and Sigurdur Heidar Hoskuldsson
started their journey towards breaking a Guinness world record by
playing the longest pool playing marathon in history.


The former Guinness record was just over 53 hours but at the time these
pictures where taken they had played for over 59 hours and where still
going strong. The aim is to stop playing on noon the 8th of April after
having played pool for 72 hours straight.

The night is going to be tough they said but we will make it. We have
already broken the record an now we want to make it greater.


All this playing is done to increase the awareness of the MS decease
and raise funds for the MS association in Iceland. Only few months ago
the owner of the billiard parlor and well known snooker player in
Iceland Brynjar Valdimarsson a friend of theirs was diagnosed with MS
and they wanted to show their support for this cause
