ASPEN, Colo.—A woman at the Winter X Games is trying to break a world record before competition even begins Thursday.
Dagny McKinley of Steamboat Springs is trying to set a Guinness world record for most hugs given in a 24-hour period. Her venue of choice is the Winter X Games at Buttermilk Mountain, which open Thursday.
McKinley says she’ll need to deliver more than 5,000 hugs to X Games spectators to set the record. She’s setting up near the public entrance to the competition, under a banner reading “world record attempt.”
