Ashrita Furman, holder of the most records in the Guinness World Records, added one more entry to his list of extraordinary feats.

He achieved his 139th record in the city of Varna on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast.

Furman, known as "Mr. Versatility" by the "Guinness Book of Records," broke the previous Guinness record for jumping on one leg on a treadmill. On January 8 Furman made 1300 forward rolls in a hour in Black Sea's Kavarna.

A month ago the 51-year-old health food store manager from Queens, New York, broke another record at the 2,000-year-old Aspendos Roman amphitheater.

The record was for balancing the tallest object on one's chin for a minimum of 10 seconds.
