Former GWR record holder speaks on Chef Smith's
Pressure from fans has forced some media outlets that amplified Chef Smith's purported milestone to release disclaimers.
This comes after fans raised questions about a syntax error on the certificate and the colour of Chef Smith's frame, which seems different.
According to Robin Todd, a former GWR record holder, not all approved GWR attempts come with frames. Speaking in regards to Chef Smith's frame, Robin Todd shared his certificate, which had no frame, saying:
That's just the frame...comes separate from the certificate. Mine doesn't even have a frame!
Robin Todd became a Guinness World Records record holder in 2017 after completing a 13.1-mile course in a sunflower costume to raise funds for the Sierra Leone Red Cross's mudslide appeal.
Despite contributing to the trending issue, Robin Todd emphasised that he could not speak to the legitimacy of Chef Smith's GWR certificate, even though he found the Ghanaian case funny.
