Schoolboy breaks skipping world record
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
Watch Cen Xiaolin, 11, break the World Inter-School Rope Skipping
Championships record with a whopping 108 skips in 30 seconds.
An 11-year-old boy has set a new world record for skipping, managing a staggering 108 skips in 30 seconds.
Chinese schoolboy Cen Xiaolin rose to the challenge at the first World Inter-School Rope Skipping Championships in Dubai.
He also broke a second record, with 548 skips in three minutes.
The organisers said it was very hard to count the steps manually at the
side of the court. Judges therefore had to re-watch his skipping, which
could be seen on camera in slow motion.
The next World Inter-School Rope Skipping Championships are expected to be held in Sweden in July 2016.
