Meet the Italian man who broke his own record by balancing 121 ice-cream scoops on a single cone

Have you ever seen 121 balls of the frozen dessert piled on one cone? Meet Dimitri Panciera, the man from Italy who is a Guinness World Record holder for balancing the most ice-cream scoops on a cone.

Interestingly, Panciera held the record previously as well with 109 scoops on a cone. However, he broke his own record at the annual Gelatimo ice-cream festival in Italy, by balancing an incredible 121 balls of the frozen dessert, all piled on one cone.

He used local artisan ice cream that the Val di Zoldo area produces.

Rules of the game:
The rules for this challenge state that the cone has to have a diameter no greater than 9.5 centimetres and that once all the scoops are balanced, they must remain on the cone without falling for a minimum of 10 seconds.

Panciera has also served up the world's largest ice-cream scoop - a gigantic spoon that measured 1.95 metres long and 58 centimetres wide, with a depth of 17 centimetres.

The super-sized scoop has a working mechanism to eject the ice-cream.
