Judges Disqualify ‘Witch’ From World Record For A Wicked Reason

 

Breaking a world record isn’t easy, but having one taken away from you? That’s a whole lot harder.

Nicola Nuttall of Lancashire, England, decided to run the London Marathon in April in hopes of breaking the Guinness World Record for “Fastest Marathon Dressed as a Witch,” and to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society, according to The Telegraph. 

Before the race, she sent Guinness officials a photo of her costume — a black, floor-length dress purchased off eBay — and the organization approved. All she had to do was finish the race in less than four hours while wearing full-witch attire, including a witch’s hat and broom. 

When game day came, Nuttall finished the 26.2-mile marathon in just three hours and 31 minutes — an impressive time, even for someone without a costume.

Nuttall seemed set to clinch the world record.

But when Guinness officials reviewed photos of Nuttall during the marathon, they deemed her dress as “substantially shorter” than the one they saw in her pre-race photo submission.

“With costume records, we ask the applicant to submit a photo beforehand of their costume so it can be approved by records management,” a spokesman for Guinness told The Telegraph. “Unfortunately, while Nicola’s pre-marathon photo met our guidelines of having a floor-length dress, her photos from the day show her with a substantially shorter dress with slits cut in for more movement.”

For months, Nuttall argued that Guinness judges had failed to see the high slits that ran up the sides of her dress in her costume submission photo. She said she altered the dress so that it would be harder to run in it.

“Having sent it, they couldn’t see the splits up the side and I actually thought this might make it easier to run in, so I added material to make it more difficult,” Nuttall recently told Pendle Today.

Still, the Guinness judges wouldn’t budge. 

“I feel like I’ve let everybody down. I feel like a failure,” Nuttall said. “I’ve been back and forth to them, but they have been so strict and inflexible.”

Even though she missed out on the world record, Nuttall still raised the equivalent of $2,273 for the Alzheimer’s Society through a crowdfunding page.

Perhaps witches aren’t so wicked after all.

They’ve become really good mates, are FaceTiming loads and he’s like a little puppy dog around her. It’s very sweet. They have a real laugh together.”

Sasha has confronted Jack over Emily and suggested “It’s me or her”.

A source revealed: “Sasha has been rocked by news of Jack’s secret friendship. She had no idea.

“But on the other, he’s intoxicated by Emily’s company. He can’t seem to stay away from her.

“Plus loads of his club mates have crushes on Emily too so they’re saying something different.

“Obviously there have been gags about Jack’s very own transfer deadline day.”

Now Sasha faces more heartache over his dates with Amber. Representatives for Amber, Jack and Emily declined to comment.
