Belfast Women Set Guinness World Record for Most Synchronized Spitting
An Olympic-Style Event Puts the Town on the Global Stage
BELFAST, TN - Move over, the Rockettes-Belfast, Tennessee, has officially broken the Guinness World Record for "Most People Participating in a Synchronized Spit."
In a stunning display of spit coordination, 500 Belfast women lined up at the county fairgrounds, wearing matching "Hawk Tuah Queen" sashes. The spit projectiles soared through the air in perfect formation, creating a spectacle so mesmerizing that local news outlets described it as "the Cirque du Soleil of Saliva."
The Guinness judges, visibly impressed (and slightly disgusted), confirmed the official record.
Belfast Mayor Randy Tuckerson is now petitioning the Olympics to recognize "Spit Synchronized Freestyle" as a competitive sport.
"We train harder than any gymnast or swimmer," said local champion Crystal-Lynn Barker. "We just happen to be covered in dip spit while we do it."

Record:
Belfast, Tennessee, with 788 residents, leans young at 32.9 years median. Launched in 1836, its Irish namesake saw a store in 1838. The 1952 tornado—three killed, 166 injured—left a grim legacy. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame has spun a $500K industry, jolting Belfast awake. Blue-collar workers (61.54%) still rule, but entrepreneurs (9.62%) rise. Men (62.94%) outpace women (37.06%), a demographic twist. Once a farming outpost, it now rides Welch’s viral wave, proving small towns can pivot from quiet to quirky with flair.
