World record attempts at #fbm24

It could be a very special year for world records: in cooperation with Ravensburger, a total of six world record attempts by top athletes in trending sports will take place at Frankfurter Buchmesse – including BMX athlete and TikToker Chris Böhm, who will make two attempts! Visitors can be there and cheer them on Sunday from 12.00 noon to 2.00 pm in Hall 4.1, H10.

Before the record-breaking event on Sunday, there will also be a moderated talk with Chris Böhm & friends at the Ravensburger exhibition stand (Hall 3.0, D65) from 10.30 to 11.30 am. Whether you’re a fan or on the way to becoming one, it’s worth stopping by!
