Philip Solomon, a 17-year-old student at Oyemekun Grammar School in Akure, Ondo State, has been named the Guinness World Record holder for the most skips on one foot in 30 seconds.
Solomon
broke the record on January 24 after he recorded 153 skips on one foot
in 30 seconds to outdo former record holder Rasel Islam of Bangladesh
whose record was 145.
His
record was officially ratified by the Guinness World Record on Tuesday
May 23, four months after his attempt. A statement on the Guinness World
Record website reads;
‘’The most skips in 30 seconds
on one foot is 153, and was achieved by Philip Solomon (Nigeria), in
Akure, Nigeria, on 24 January 2023.
Philip was inspired by
the previous holder of this record title Rasel Islam after seeing a
video of their record attempt. He has been training to achieve the
record and was honoured to attend a skipping world championship.''
