Most of us have seen how long we can hold our breath underwater - but Budimir Šobat (Croatia) had proven he's unrivalled at the skill. On 27 March 2021, he broke the record for the longest time breath held voluntarily (male) with a staggering time of 24 minutes 37.36 seconds.

He surpassed the previous record by 34 seconds (a long time when you're not breathing) and probably longer than most people could hold their breath in total!

Budimir attempted this record in Sisak, Croatia, to promote the city after it was hit by a strong earthquake in December 2020. "We have a huge problem here in Croatia with earthquakes... the situation is serious at the moment in Croatia," Budimir said when applying for the record.
