Story by Senior Airman Alexander Schriner December 03, 2022 at 02:16PM It’s the opening ceremony for the 38th annual Cornhusker State Games at Seacrest Field and the stands are full of family, friends, and other spectators. Everyone's attention is directed toward a gentleman once they hear he will be attempting to break the world's ax throwing record. He starts off rusty and isn’t landing any throws, but with little time left he finally hits his mark with the crowd cheering. Jesse Rood, a firefighter at the Nebraska Air Guard Fire Department, broke the world ax throwing record on July 15, 2022, at the Cornhusker State Games in Lincoln, Neb. Rood later received confirmation on his record for throwing 90 feet along with a certificate from Guinness World Records on November 17, 2022.
