Chinese Teenagers Break a World Record by Jumping Rope 374 Times in a Minute
A 16-year-old jump rope expert in China broke the Guinness World Record by jumping rope 374 times in one minute.
Zhou Qi from Yuyao City, Ningbo, broke the record of Japanese jumper Daisuke Mimura.
Mimura previously managed to break the record with 348 jumps in one minute which has stood for 10 years.
Zhou, who previously applied for the record but had to start over due to Guinness World Records guidelines, said his new record was not his best.
"My best performance was 398 times in one minute, and it was done in the online portion of the high school division of the 3rd Primary and Middle School Student Jump Rope Championships in 2022," he told Guinness World Records.
