Seven Germans have broken the world shower record after standing under running water for more than four days.
The five men and two women, aged between 17 and 25, from Hoevelhof, showered for over 101 hours to break the 100 hour record set in 2000 by a group of Berliners.
The rules of the record attempt allowed the group just a 10-minute break every hour and a number of the swimwear-clad participants slept standing up under the shower.
Ten people began the wet feat Wednesday, with three dropping out Saturday.
