Two Australian sisters have set an unofficial world record for continuous TV-watching after sitting through 87 hours of uninterrupted World Cup and football coverage.
Football-mad Joanne and Alanah Argyrou, 22 and 24, outlasted two other contenders as they sat for some three-and-a-half days at Sydney's Star City Casino, beating Dutchman Efraim van Oeveren's 86 hours.
The feat -- which awaits confirmation by Guinness World Records -- was monitored by a team of officials who ensure the sisters did not look away from the screen for more than five seconds.
They were given one five-minute break per hour but were allowed no more than five cups of coffee a day. In between World Cup broadcasts, the women watched recorded matches and football documentaries.
Australia’s hopes of reaching the knocking-out stages were badly dented after June 14’s 4-0 defeat by Germany. The country is bidding to host the tournament's 2022 edition.来源:考试大

这对超级足球迷名叫乔安妮和阿拉娜•阿吉柔,今年分别为22岁和24岁。(世界杯开幕后,)两人在悉尼的城市之星*连续观看和比赛有关的电视节目长达三天半,超过了另外两名对手,并击败了荷兰人埃弗雷姆•凡•欧艾文仁创下的86小时的记录。
来自《吉尼斯世界记录大全》的一组官员对两姐妹进行了全程监督,保证她们的视线离开屏幕不超过5秒钟。目前这一记录正在等待《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》的确认。
