London: Guinness World Records can inspire achievements of all sorts, including acts which were never thought to be possible.
In an interesting feat, a Brazilian couple claimed the Guinness World Record title in kissing.
Renato Bayma Gaia and his girlfriend Naiara Roberta Ribeiro de Marins set the record for most number of kisses in 30 seconds by a pair. Renato managed to kiss Naiara as many as 195 times, according to Guinness World Records.
Quite fittingly, the couple’s achievement coincided with International Kissing Day.
In footage shared by Guinness World Records, Renato is seen wearing a jersey of his favourite football team Sao Jos EC and Naiara is in a top and shorts. Renato plants kisses on Naiara’s cheek as she smiles throughout the challenge.

Renato, 32, and Naiara, 33, said they have been together for around a year and a half. Both doctors, they worked on the frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The reason they decided to attempt the challenge was because they believed they were the “best couple in the world”.
For Renato, it was another milestone in his growing collection of records. According to Guinness World Records, he has previously achieved titles including the fastest time to set up and topple 10 books and the largest foot rotation (male).
With the latest achievement, Renato claimed to have become the Brazilian with the most world records. He was delighted to see Naiara’s name becoming a part of his record-breaking journey.
Renato, who holds a black belt in taekwondo, described himself as being “addicted to winning”.
“I am a bone marrow donor, and I have ADHD and I want to prove that people with ADHD are capable of everything they want,” he said.
Renato and Naiara are already looking ahead to challenge the record for most kisses in one minute by a pair. The current record holders are Japan’s Cherry Yoshitake, also known as Mr Cherry, and Kumiko Shiratori, with 277 kisses.
