How long have you been hooping for?
3years 6 months
What made you start hooping?
I saw the news report of Bree doing the Guinness World record and just knew that I wanted to learn to hoop too
How many hoops?
Go to our instagram to guess how many hoops Elaine spun??
What was your favourite thing about training for the GWR?
Being part of a ‘team’ - meeting new people and being included in working for a common goal. I also did enjoy the weekly trainings!
What was the hardest thing about training for the GWR?
Convincing myself I was good enough and trying hard to increase the amount of hoops, but mostly the fear of letting everyone down!
Why did you want to be part of the record?
It was so good to be included and it gave me a sense of achievement - you are never too old to try something new!
What was it like on the day? Were you nervous?
I was extremely nervous - especially the first attempt. I couldn’t believe that it was actually happening! I did relax a bit though and my hooping improved - Thank goodness
How does it feel to hold the GWR?
A bit surreal, but wonderful!
