Most Number of people performing a High Five simultaneously

A high five is a celebratory hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand, about head high, and push, slide or slap the flat of their palm and hand against the palm and flat hand of their partner. The gesture is often preceded verbally by the phrase "Give me five" or "High five".
Saint Mary and Gonzaga supporters rushed into the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on earlier this month for the Zappos.com West Coast Conference (WCC) Men's Championship game.
With Zappos.com being the main sponsor for the basketball tournament, they decided this year to not just sponsor the game, but amplify their involvement by engaging the crowds through record breaking fun.
The record was to beat 2,176 participants performing a high five simultaneously.
The orleans stadium packed up with 5,800 persons were all geared up and excited as the game was very close with just a few points difference and competition set through the crowd.
After the buzzer sounded we were enthralled to hear the noise of a High five made by thousands.This finally counted to 3,504  persons had performed a high five simultaneously taking the set record too high for others  to supersede in the future.The participants made the record breaking  news  at New Orleans Arena,Las Vegas,United States of America on March 5,2012.
