Sports World Records

Nine-year-old Piper Parish held a backbend on the living room rug at her home in Cedartown, Georgia, hands and feet planted the whole time with nobody touching her. The single continuous phone video shows her already in the bridge when recording starts and holding it for just over seven minutes, through a few small shuffles of her hands and feet, before she rolls out; the listed 6:49.17 is the time her family took that day. That is a long time to see the world upside down.

Jose Manuel Martin Molina of Ayamonte, Spain stands on the front pegs of his red BMX and hops on the front wheel 199 times, rear wheel held high, across a sunny tiled courtyard below a whitewashed bell tower. The low-angle phone video is a single 65 second take with no cuts: he starts by the stairs at the far end and keeps a steady three hops per second all the way to the camera before riding off. RecordSetter tracked every landing frame by frame and counted 199, nine more than his own previous mark of 190. The over-45 bracket has never looked so bouncy.

Pavol Durdik bounced a table tennis ball on a paddle 534 times in one minute.

Francis Levine-Croteau shoots a 50 in one 18-hole, par-72 round on a Putt18 putting mat in Sainte-Julie, Quebec, during week 5 of the Putt18 World Pro League's Series 26 on September 6, 2026. Playing three balls from each tee in order, he finishes 22 under par and closes the round with three eagles in a row on holes 16 to 18 while the score counter beside the mat ticks down. The total was confirmed by the league's scorers and checked against this continuous video and an uncut overhead recording of the same session. Three balls, three white circles, round over.

Chris Kuchar made 11 consecutive half-court basketball shots at a gym in Washington, Utah. Shooting from behind the half-court line in a single unedited take, he sank shot after shot while his son rebounded and fed the ball back to him. Half-court shots are the long-range heaves usually reserved for buzzer-beaters, so stringing 11 together without a miss is a serious display of range and consistency.

Luka - Marko Suslov completed 27 Webster front flips in 30 seconds in Antalya, Turkey, on August 5, 2026. Performed on a grassy sports field, the attempt surpassed the previous mark of 17 flips. A Webster is a forward somersault launched from one foot.

Just JoJo completed 29 home runs in a single game of Wii Sports, surpassing the previous mark of 26. The game ended 29-1 after two innings against an AI opponent.

Danail Parvanov balanced a tennis ball on the instep of one foot for 4 minutes and 1 second while standing on the other, filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria. Keeping a ball that small steady on a surface that narrow means the standing leg absorbs every micro-adjustment for the full duration. RecordSetter verified the video as a single fixed-camera take with an on-screen clock running past 4:00 without a break.

Danail Parvanov kept a rugby ball in the air for 220 consecutive foot touches in Sofia, Bulgaria. A rugby ball's oval shape makes every bounce unpredictable, which is what separates this from ordinary soccer keepie uppies: each touch has to correct the wobble the last one created. He averaged about 2.4 touches per second across a single unbroken 90-second take, with a cadence consistent from first touch to last.

Danail Parvanov juggled a size 1 soccer ball with his legs for 30 minutes and 5 seconds in Sofia, Bulgaria. A size 1 ball is the smallest standard football, roughly half the diameter of a match ball, which makes half an hour of continuous leg juggling a serious feat of touch and stamina. RecordSetter verified the video as a single unbroken take: fixed camera, no cuts, and an on-screen clock advancing without discontinuity from start to finish.

Simone Miserotti turned a tabletop mini-hoop into a rhythm exercise, dropping 783 miniature basketball shots in a row without a miss. The video is delightfully hypnotic: same release, same bounce of focus, one tiny make after another until the count runs deep into Guinness-beating territory.

Trevor Fritch completed 43 consecutive jump squats in 30 seconds in Rochester, New York. He kept a brisk pace throughout the outdoor attempt, moving through compact squat-and-jump cycles without a visible break.

Andrew Vanier borrowed his sister's pogo stick, got hooked, and ended up bouncing for more than two hours. His 11,715-jump run is a patient, stubborn kid record: long enough for the camera to change orientation, and still clear enough to show the scale of the effort.

Chengyong Wu was 14 years old when he left the block 0.49 seconds after the starting signal at the 2024 Olympic HKG Long Course Swimming Invitational Trial I in Hong Kong, racing out of lane 4 in the men's 200-meter individual medley. Reaction time measures the gap between the starter's tone and the swimmer's first movement, and it is registered by pressure sensors built into the starting block rather than judged by eye, so the figure that flashed on the official scoreboard is the block's own verdict. The whole record was over before he touched the water, which is a fine reminder that swimming races are decided in places nobody is watching.

Jeremiah Gould strapped on a 40-pound backpack and cranked out 145 one-armed push-ups in 60 seconds on his front lawn, breaking his own record of 138 set in March. Gould has been chasing bigger numbers on this record since 2014.
