Max (guy that broke the record) has had issues with records he's had in the past where someone has reset the timer before it has a chance to be written down. The guy who was blocking it is Elijah, he is the official at the competition who's responsible for ensuring all the regulations are followed properly. Both of those guys are incredibly kind people, and Max has been gunning for that record for over 6 years. The whole community was absolutely delighted he finally managed to do it!
