17-year-old Nigerian Student Breaks Guinness World Record For Most Skips On One Foot (Video)

Philip Solomon, a 17-year-old student from Oyemekun Grammar School in Akure, Ondo State, has made history by becoming a Guinness World Record holder for the highest number of skips on one foot within a 30-second timeframe. His incredible feat took place on January 24, where he achieved an impressive 153 skips on a single foot, surpassing the previous record of 145 held by Rasel Islam from Bangladesh.

Following a thorough four-month verification process, Solomon’s accomplishment was officially recognized, solidifying his position as a record holder. The young student was initially inspired by Rasel Islam’s record attempt after stumbling upon a video showcasing his incredible achievement. Motivated by this, Solomon dedicated himself to training rigorously in order to accomplish the record. His dedication paid off, and he was even fortunate enough to attend a skipping world championship, further fueling his passion for the sport.

Interestingly, Solomon isn’t the only student from Akure making waves in the world of rope skipping. Gbenga Ezekiel, a student from Ijapo High School, achieved the prestigious title of world record holder for the highest number of skips on one leg in one minute. Ezekiel’s remarkable accomplishment, where he achieved an astonishing 265 skips, served as inspiration for Solomon to embark on his own record-breaking journey.

With Solomon’s success, Nigeria’s collection of Guinness World Records in rope skipping continues to grow. These young students have proven that with dedication, passion, and hard work, they can reach remarkable heights and put their country on the global stage of record-breaking achievements.
