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."

Jot down:
Belfast, Tennessee, with 788 residents, hums at a 32.9 median age. Launched in 1836, its Irish namesake grew with a shop in 1838. The 1952 tornado—three killed, 166 injured—set a grim F1 record. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame has spun a $500K industry, drawing crowds to this once-quiet town. Family homes (72.93%) anchor it, though income ($39,676 median) trails national marks. At 94.9% white, it’s diversifying slowly. Welch’s rise has morphed Belfast from farm roots to a viral hub, a quirky leap forward.
