There were no flies on Physical Education NZ CEO, Ross Merrett as he ran away with a new world record time of 10.32 secs for the Packagoal Challenge.

"As you'd imagine with an audience of PE and sports teachers, competition was rife. Which made the Packagoal Challenge a big hit with so many," said Packaworld CEO, Pete Roberts." Whilst we slightly altered the rules around the competition [by using a slightly bigger hand pump] the times were quite phenomenal and surprised a lot of people."

Congratulations to Zach Hough from Kandallah, who fought off tough competition to take out the 'Packagoal Challenge' in a junior record time of 25.8 secs.

Congratulations to Director of Sport Briar Houston of Baradene College of the Sacred Heart, who completed the Packagoal Challenge in a World Record breaking time, of 17.1 secs.

Of particular interest was the 'Packagoal Challenge' where contestants competed to inflate a 6'x4' packagoal as fast as possible.

"Whilst the Packagoal challenge was a fun event, it does demonstrate how quickly these things can be inflated," said Packaworld CEO, Pete Roberts " I was surprised myself at the times people posted with no one exceeding a time beyond 30 secs. I think people were also surprised at the firmness and rigidity of the inflated product."

Briar receives her winners prize from Packaworld head Pete Roberts
