The Eiffel Tower was built in 1887 until 1889, to honor the centenary of the French Revolution. With over 300 meters tall, the Eiffel Tower stood as the tallest monument in the world for over forty years. We can say that the tower has more than five floors.
This week, something amazing happened. Saturday, May 29, the skater Taig Khris, 34 years old, broke the world record for largest drop in ramp skating to fall 40 meters from the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, in Paris. Thousands of French people and tourists have stopped to watch the descent of Taing Khris.
Taing jumped 10 meters until your skates find a ramp mounted on the first floor of the tower, which slid by more than 30 meters. After done, Taig Khris was acclaimed as the "warrior of the ramp". Excited, the skater said, "I have not slept for many nights before this moment, but now I will."
