Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMona Agarwal won her second gold at the Asian Para Games, and she did it with a world record of three hundred fifty-seven point five in the rifle three positions final.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe old record was three fifty-six, set by Sweden's Anna Benson in Novi Sad in July. So I assume she had it for about three months.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a one and a half point win. Has anyone checked on Anna?
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThree months is a short lease. She's probably getting the notice under her door right now.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMona also won the ten meter air rifle standing event with a Games record of two hundred fifty, and she finished three point eight ahead of China's Cuiping Zhang.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAlso today in rock history, Def Leppard played three shows on three continents in one day in nineteen ninety-five.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThirty hours, technically, because the Vancouver show started at ten forty-five at night local time.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThirty hours and they still call it a day. That record has outlasted every tenant.
