June 2025, London: GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS (GWR), celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2025, are delighted to announce that Guinness World Records 365: Sport, a pocket size book highlighting a sport record for every day of the year, is on sale now.
As arbiters of records for over 70 years, there are thousands of sporting triumphs, facts and trivia in the Guinness World Records vaults that we felt deserved their moment in the spotlight. 365: Sport is an addictive read packed with quirky facts and stats and sporting gems you never knew you needed to know. It covers incredible historic sporting events from the first cricket test match to the fastest UEFA
Champions League goal.
For those of you that grew up with the classic Guinness World Records book, this is a fun grown-up dip back into the word of record-breaking.
The record-breaking feats of sporting legends like Muhammad Ali, Roger Bannister, Messi and Serena Williams are featured as well as sports un-sung heroes like John Kelly who survived on just 20 mins sleep a day when he attempted the fastest ultrarun of the Pennine Way, and Chris Adam who completed most holes of golf in a year – putting 14,625 holes!
Guinness World Records takes you through sporting milestones from the first Olympics to classic events we at Guinness World Records love to champion such as bog snorkelling and the the Wife Carrying World Championships!
Tom Beckerlegge, Editor and fountain of sports knowledge, compiled, researched and wrote this beautiful homage to all thing’s sports and said ‘It’s been fascinating to dig through the GWR archives and uncover the details of some of our best sporting records – I hope that our readers have as much fun learning about them as I did!’
Guinness World Records 365 Sport is on sale from £6 and is available to buy now from Amazon, Sainsburys, ASDA, Waterstones and WH Smith with discounts widely available. Exclusive signed copies are available from the GWR Store
