Santa- suited skating enthusiasts took to the ice on an ice rink at Sydney's Bondi Beach today in an attempt to break the world record for skating Santas, currently set at 142 and held by the UK.
215 skaters made it onto the ice to officially break the world record.
The event launched the 2012 Variety Santa Fun Run being held on November 25, where hundreds of people dressed as Santa will run through Sydney streets all to raise money for Aussie kids in need.
