Man sets record running backward

Advertisements [?]

June 17, 2004 (Oxford, Ohio) — Watching Brian Godsey run is like watching a DVD in reverse.

The 23-year-old man claims to have set a world record in the 800-meter run -- doing it backward.

Two coaches at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, timed Godsey. He was clocked at about two minutes, 50 seconds. According to the Book of Alternative Records, that breaks the record set in Italy nine years ago.

Godsey says he runs backward to help prevent injuries.
