Fill in the Blanks World Record BreakersOnline version Fill in the blanks according to the audio by Ruben Hidalgo Mosqueda 1 Host : Alice ? what are you going to talk about ? Alice : Well , I'm going to talk about Konishiki Yasokichi , the sumo wrestler . He's actually from Hawaii , but he's lived in Japan for most of his life . He is famous , because he was the professional sumo wrestler ever . He weighed an incredible 287 kilos . Konishiki used his huge weight to help him win fights ? he usually on people until he won . As Konishiki got older he started to lose against smaller , faster wrestlers . But in Japan , sumo wrestlers are as famous as stars and the Japanese people loved him even when he lost , because he was so big . He has been really successful since he stopped fighting . He's a musician , he's in films and he's had his own radio for many years now . He even had his own TV cookery show for a while ? he showed people how to sumo meals . Host : And finally , let's hear from Neil . Neil : Thank you . I'm going to talk about a captain in the US Air Force , Joseph Kittinger . In 1960 , he broke three world records when he to earth from the stratosphere ? that's the edge of space , 31 kilometres above the earth . He travelled up there by balloon and when he jumped , he broke the record for the highest jump ever . He fell for more than four minutes ? the free fall ever . He fell at a speed of 988 kilometres per hour , and got the record for travelling through the air faster than any other human . He actually fell faster than the speed of sound . He later wrote a song about the , called 'Jump into Space' , which is quite good ! But Kittinger's story doesn't end there . In 2012 , a man called Felix Baumgartner tried to break his three records . Kittinger helped him because he was the only person who had ever jumped from space before . But Baumgartner didn't break all of Kittinger's records , he only two . He opened his parachute early and so Kittinger has held his amazing record of longest free fall for over 50 years !
