(2015Year6Month6Day, Nanjing, China)A new record was set today at Fogou Lake in Pukou District, Nanjing.Adidas-sponsored athlete Chen Hui,successfully challenged the longest distance for slacklining over waterand set a new record of56meters,with Adidas and numerous outdoor enthusiasts bearing witness to this historic moment. Outdoor sports are adventurous and challenging, and through continuous challenges and innovation, Adidas Outdoor attracts more and more young people to join the outdoor activities.

Previously, the longest distance for slacklining over water in China was30meters, held by Chen Hui himself, and this time he successfully completed a slackline distance of56meters. Chen Hui spent two full months preparing for the challenge. In addition to daily land-based slacklining practice to improve hand-foot coordination, he also trained on water once a week to enhance visual reaction. Slacklining over water, lacking fixed reference points, makes it harder to maintain balance, thus more difficult than on land.

“The biggest challenge when slacklining over water is strong winds, which create ripples on the surface, affecting visibility and causing body imbalance,” said Chen Hui. “But the allure of outdoor sports lies in overcoming psychological barriers and constantly pushing limits. That’s why I wanted to challenge myself and set a new national record for this sport. Adidas’s 'Live Beyond Limits' spirit represents this courage to break boundaries and keep challenging. I hope more outdoor sports lovers will come and enjoy the thrill of this sport.” After days of site-adaptation training, Chen Hui was confident about today’s challenge.
