Bangladeshi teen breaks Guinness World Record twice

Mahmudul Hasan Faisal, 17, a freestyler, has registered his name in Guinness Book of World Records twice. In August 2018, he created his first record by arm-rolling a football 134 times in a minute. This year, he has once again created a record by arm-rolling a basketball 144 times in a minute. Faisal is currently studying Mechatronics Technology at Magura Poly-Technique Institute. A resident of Magura, (Khulna) Faisal has been a sports freak ever since his childhood. "I have always liked to play. Initially I used to play cricket and football but unable to perform well in these fields, I knew I had to something different from the others. That's where my journey of freestyling began," he shared. With time, Faisal developed his interest in this field and started practicing to do something great as a freestyler. His family and teachers have been supportive in this journey and Faisal dreams of participating in International championships as the flag bearer of Bangladesh someday.
