An attempt to set a world record in Sri Lanka for the largest gathering of twins appears to have failed after too many turned up. The organisers of the event called on the island's twins to gather at a sports stadium in the capital, Colombo, to try to break record set in 1999.But a bigger than expected crowd flocked to the stadium on Monday, causing long queues and meaning strict rules on registration were hindered.
