Blaine held his breath for 7:08.---they will probably recap it on the ABC morning show. Here's a Washingston Post story on the event http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/08/AR2006050801681.html  Thanks for asking :-)

"the longest that humans can hold their breath for is about 2 1/2 minutes, and this is for pearl divers who make a living by holding their breath underwater. Most of us can only hold our breath for 1 minute."  (see Source)\n\nI think that there are extremes (world record holders) that are nowhere near the average.\n\nI read somewhere that there's a trick to holding your breath for a long time, and it is to eliminate the nitrogen from your body.  I forget how you do it (sorry), but the point was that it's the presence of nitrogen, not the absence of oxygen, that causes the FIRST problem for humans.

how about NOBODY! if u must know, the only reason Lara even scored that 400 was because they were down 3-0 in the 4 test match series against England. he scored the 400 in the 4th test. since he was in such a good form they just let him bat. it was either that or jeopardize a white wash to England. Teams like India, Australia or New Zeland would never do that. so niether sehwag, hayden or fleming would break that record. If i had to put money on it, i say someone from Sri Lanka (Sagakara), or Lara himself would do it again.

He is not a very good bowler as we all know and as u said it. He will definately break the record and i dont think so any1 in near future will even dare come near this record of his.

I don't suppose its an official world record. But, there's old saying that goes "The husband is the last to know" Well my ex wife was having an affair for ages and I didn't catch on. I'm talking several months, close to a year. When I now look back on the situation, it was absolutely obvious. How could I have been so dumb. It was plain as the nose on my face. How,,,,, trust. I trusted her 100%., and she took advantage of that, 100%. So if there is a world record for the dumbest, blindest (not a real word I suspect) most trusting husband,,, then I am WORLD RECORD HOLDER.

The 100m record has been broken in the Olympics a few times, but the current one was not.\n1932- Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalfe ran 10.38 tied for the world record.\nIn 1964, Bob Hayes ran 10.05 for the world record.\n1968- Jim Hines set 9.95, which stood for a long tmie\n1988- Carl Lewis ran 9.92 for the world record\n1996- Donovan Bailey came from behind and got 9.84\nSince then, the world record went to 9.79, 9.78, and 9.77- none of them were in the Olympics.

I don't know what the world record is but I know it's much longer than one minute. I think I've maxed out at 1:20 myself. My source says 12:47 for an Italian freediver but I don't know if that is the latest.
