Made a topic a few weeks back about it, and I know a few were interested in the news.

Puncayshun got a 1:37:34 with carpetless, to be the first ever runner to do it. The former world record, without carpetless was done by Weegee, who got a 1:37:35. As a one-minute time-saving trick, you can see that this is still far from the potential that carpetless can achieve, but someone finally was able to not choke a world-record capable run to carpetless or post-carpetless. First world record for puncay in 5 years (and I was told that record was beaten in less than 24 hours by cheese).

Puncay is a great runner, and got a 1:37 without carpetless right before the RTA-strat was discovered, so I wouldn't say this is a case of it being a Mickey Mouse record since Puncay is legit (and was the original Siglemic "rival" who originally beat Sig's World Record all them years back).
