Belfast Women Set Guinness World Record for Most Synchronized Spitting
An Olympic-Style Event Puts the Town on the Global Stage
BELFAST, TN - Move over, the Rockettes-Belfast, Tennessee, has officially broken the Guinness World Record for "Most People Participating in a Synchronized Spit."
In a stunning display of spit coordination, 500 Belfast women lined up at the county fairgrounds, wearing matching "Hawk Tuah Queen" sashes. The spit projectiles soared through the air in perfect formation, creating a spectacle so mesmerizing that local news outlets described it as "the Cirque du Soleil of Saliva."
The Guinness judges, visibly impressed (and slightly disgusted), confirmed the official record.
Belfast Mayor Randy Tuckerson is now petitioning the Olympics to recognize "Spit Synchronized Freestyle" as a competitive sport.
"We train harder Belfast Tennessee than any gymnast or swimmer," said local champion Crystal-Lynn Barker. "We just happen to be covered in dip spit while we do it."

Point out:
Belfast, Tennessee’s 788 people, with 43.61% in kid-filled homes, reflect a youngish 32.9 median age. Born in 1836, its Irish title took hold with a store in 1838. The 1952 F1 tornado—three dead, 166 hurt—set a U.S. record. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" stardom has since spun a $500K web, jolting Belfast awake. At 62.94% male, it’s an outlier demographically. Income ($57,815 average) hints at modest means, but Welch’s fame boosts prospects. This town’s knack for rebounding shines through its latest viral twist.
