Feb. 21 (UPI) -- A Mexican woman born without arms broke a world record for lighting candles with her feet on an Italian game show.

Adriana Irene Macias Hernandez used her feet to light 11 candles and claim the Guinness World Record for "Most birthday candles lit with the feet in one minute" in front of the audience of Italy's Lo Show dei Record.


The previous record of seven was set by American Ashrita Furman, who holds multiple world records.

Hernandez became proficient at completing tasks with her feet after she was born without arms.

In addition to breaking the record, Hernandez graduated with a law degree, has written multiple books and travels around the world to deliver lectures about her disability.
