"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a crowd-surfing granny!
A 99-year-old woman has been recognised by Guinness World Records after becoming the oldest person to crowd surf at a concert.
Pauline Kana, who was born in August 1926, said it was her dream to be "the greatest in the world at something".
Now she has achieved her wish by being floated by a crowd of roughly 20,000 people at a gig in the US.
The feat took place during a show by country star Bradley Gilbert at the Austin County Fairgrounds in Texas, in May.
To keep things comfortable, Kana was passed through the crowd on cushioned stretcher.
The crowd kept up a lively chant of "Granny! Granny!"
"I did it!" Kana said after receiving her Guinness Award.
"I'm the greatest of all time!""

Well . . . what do you think of that? Do please share your thoughts in the comments below. Have to say you wouldn't see this Grandma (me) doing that! 😂
Happy weekend to all readers.
She's pretty brave at 99! It wouldn't be me, but then I guess there are much more dangerous things to do. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's great. It's a nice change from all the shattering world news we see daily.
ReplyDeleteHave a grand one, Jan.
What an amazing lady!!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that before!!
ReplyDeleteuy me alegro por ella. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteCan you image crowd surfing at 100? I certainly can't. Good for her.
ReplyDelete...no thanks!
ReplyDeleteNor me!! But she did fulfill her wish to be the best at something.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that at 99 she was able to go to a concert. I wonder how she arranged for the feat and to get in the Guiness Book of Records! Well she has accomplished her goal. I never hear of crowd surfing before.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks but good for her!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, I especially love how the young all started chanting to her.
ReplyDeleteLove across the generations
Bravo for grandma... she really is special!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday, Andreja
Great age, and why not if that's what she wanted? I wouldn't do that either... what an idea, lol.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteBravo to the grandma who has dreams and is making them come true at this age!!
That's why she reached this age,
because she still dreams!!
Thanks for this interesting, hopeful information Jean!!
Good for her. I'd be scared they'd drop me.
ReplyDeleteThat is so mad and cool at the same time
ReplyDeleteIt´s never too late!
ReplyDeleteThat would most definitely NOT be my wish.
ReplyDeletewell good for her!
ReplyDeleteSounds like something I would do!! Way to go, Granny!!!

Good for her. But seriously, only in Texas.
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished!!
ReplyDeleteGood for her :-D
ReplyDeleteThat is a hoot. Not my idea of a life goal, but there you are!
ReplyDeleteWow, kudos to Grandma! I have not heard of this type of crowd surfing.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day! Have a great new week ahead.
Ich finde, jeder soll tun was ihm gefällt, solange er niemandem schadet. Wenn es der große Wunsch der alten Dame war, dann finde ich es gut. Ich selbst hätte allerdings keinen Spaß an einer solchen Aktion.

I think everyone should do what they like, as long as they don't harm anyone. If it was the old lady's great wish, then I think it's fine. Personally, though, I wouldn't enjoy such an activity.
