Swedish adventurer Tony Berglund set a new world record today for the fastest vertical run -- 100 meters down the front of a building in Vasteras, Sweden. Berglund cut more than a second from the previous record of 36.25 seconds, held by Britain's Steve Jones. "I defeated the forces of nature and my own fears", Berglund said of his feat, which naturally involved rappelling gear.
