Denver, Colorado (December 19, 2006) -- The World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA) is proud to announce that three new overall world records have been achieved in sport stacking. All three world records occurred in Germany at two separate WSSA sanctioned events during the month of November, 2006. There were also numerous new age-division world records established, as well as German national records.

The WSSA opened up the Individual 3-3-3 Stack to all ages at the 2005 WSSA World Sport Stacking Championships which had prior been reserved for only the youngest of stackers. Since the addition of this “sprint” event, it has sparked the interest of many stackers around the world.

The 3rd Overall World Record to be broken was the 3-6-3 Timed Team Relay...

Both WSSA events in Germany produced a variety of world and national records, as stackers came prepared to rewrite the WSSA record books. At the Widey Cup, four new age division World Records and seven German National records (age division) were set. There was also one new Overall German Record established (Individual 3-6-3 Stack for the 13-14 year old division) by Lukas Buhrmester. His time of 2.76 is only 0.04 seconds away from tying the Overall World Record of 2.72 held by Emily Fox (Colorado, USA). The Weidig Open produced 14 new German National records (age division) and five new World Records (age division).

Pola Metz, Executive Director for the WSSA stated that “it is great to have such positive growth in sport stacking at the International level. After seeing the German record setting performances, we are expecting even more records to fall in April!” The 2007 WSSA World Sport Stacking Championships are scheduled for April 14th and 15th in Denver, Colorado.

Along with the three Individual events and the Timed Team Relay, Doubles creates another opportunity for stackers to compete for sport stacking domination. This unique event involves two stackers working together as one (each can only use one hand). Doubles teams complete the Cycle stack. The overall world record is currently 9.97 seconds, established at the 2005 WSSA World Sport Stacking Championships.
