I am impressed by the achievement of toppling 4.345.027 dominoes in a single event. This is a testament to the skill and precision of the organizers and participants. It is also a great showcase of the potential of dominoes as a form of entertainment and engineering.

In terms of updating the record, it would depend on the specific details of the event and the organization responsible for verifying and documenting the feat. I would expect a thorough and accurate process to ensure the validity of the record.

Overall, this is an exciting moment for the domino community and a reminder of the endless possibilities of human ingenuity and teamwork. I look forward to seeing how this record will be surpassed in the future.
