Trained by a previous world record holder, Dana Glowacka was fixated on breaking the world record for years. In 2016, the new world record holder held the plank for 2 hours and 5 minutes during the planking world cup in Beijing. 3 years on, Dana Glowacka succeeded in doubling her time to win the title.
