In the first hours, Bonne achieved a peak of about 1,400 successful throws per hour. To break the record, he must average at least 875 free throws per hour. If he can maintain this pace, the record seems well within reach. For the time being, everything seems to point in that direction. Apart from some slight discomfort in the elbow, the ultra athlete has not experienced any discomfort.

According to his entourage, the focus is maintained until the end. “We will continue until eight o’clock tonight,” says Erwin Inghelbrecht, Bonne’s dad. “So no champagne on the way, maybe only afterwards.”
