French matchstick Eiffel Tower record bid ruled out over wrong matches

A French enthusiast who wanted to beat the world record is told he used the wrong matches.

www.bbc.co.uk

A French model-enthusiast who wanted to beat the world record for a matchstick Eiffel Tower has had his hopes dashed.
Richard Plaud, 47, from Montpellier-de-Médillan in western France, was told by the Guinness World Records that his 7.19m (23ft) tower did not qualify because he had used the wrong kind of matches.
"It's part of my dream that's vanished," he told reporters.
His model took eight years, 706,900 matches and 23kg of glue to build.
The final piece of wood was carefully glued into place on 27 December, 100 years to the day since the death of the engineer Gustav Eiffel.
After that, he put the 1/45th scale model on display and contacted the Guinness World Records team so they could authenticate his work.
But that was where it all went pear-shaped, because Mr Plaud had made a fundamental error.

The medals given out at the upcoming Paris Olympics will each contain about 18 grams of metal from the Eiffel Tower.

And no, the tower is not being dismantled to do this; the metal came from pieces that had to be removed in order to perform maintenance.
