Today was a historic moment - in fact, there were several historic moments.
Petra Amossen from Uummannaq set the record in two-foot high kick in the open category for women, no less than three times. She even sets a world record.
The old record was 195.58 cm and was set in 1994.
Petra had already won gold when she went after the record. First she kicked 198.12 cm. Then 200.66 cm and finally 203.2 cm.
- I am very happy. It is difficult to explain how I feel right now. Throughout the whole process I have focused on maintaining my technique and hitting the ball as I always do. I am happy, says Petra Amossen.

Nicole Johnsen from Alaska, who set the old record 32 years ago, was also present.
And she was happy and satisfied that the record had now been broken records must be broken.
- I have just been waiting for it, she tells Sermitsiaq.
Petra also tried to break the record again at 205.74 cm, but without success.
