With the world's attention starting to turn to the London Olympics, and Usain Bolt's chances of breaking the 100 metre record, a different 100 metre landmark was broken in Brussels.

Mark Sluszny's run of 15.5 seconds over 102 metres is not particularly impressive compared to Bolt's best of 9.57 seconds, but Sluszny had a slight disadvantage - he was running down the side of a building.

The stuntman, who has already swam across the English Channel, bungee jumped from a balloon and hang glided over the Andes Mountains, broke the record for a vertical run in Belgium.

His run down the side of Belgacom tower, shattered the previous record by 19 seconds.
