Sri Lanka: 'Too many twins' hinder world record attempt
An attempt to set a world record in Sri Lanka for the largest gathering of twins appears to have failed after too many turned up.
The organisers of the event - Sri Lanka Twins - called on the island's twins to gather at a sports stadium in the capital, Colombo, to try to break Taiwan's Guinness World Record set in 1999.
The record then was 3,961 pairs of twins, 37 sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets together in one place.
But a bigger than expected crowd flocked to the stadium on Monday, causing long queues and meaning strict rules on registration were hindered.
