Overview

• Megan Campbell, a 31-year-old Irish footballer for the London City Lionesses, set the Guinness World Record for the farthest soccer throw-in at 123 feet 2 inches.
• Her record-breaking throw, performed on April 30 at her team's training ground in Kent, surpassed the previous female record of 114 feet 9 inches.
• Guinness World Records officially ratified her achievement on May 8, making her the first woman to hold the title for longest throw-in.
• Campbell attributes her success to her hypermobility and refined technique, which have been key throughout her career with clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as 50 caps for Ireland.
• She hopes her achievement inspires other athletes, welcoming future challengers to break her record as a testament to progress in women's sports.
