Man Jump Ropes 71,185 Times in Eight Hours
A South African man unofficially broke a jump roping world record when he completed 71,185 skips in eight hours.
The 21-year-old athlete’s rope skips were tallied by the Sports Science Lab using electronic equipment.
He completed 71,185 skips in the eight hour period, beating the Guinness World Record of 70,031 skips, which was set by U.S. athlete Sella Rosa Rega in 2019.
Evidence is now being submitted to Guinness World Records for official recognition.
He said he is now planning to break other records for rope skipping in the 12-hour and 24-hour categories.
