We’re back with another round of RECORD-BREAKING NEWS!
People of all ages and from every corner of the world show off their unique skills or features to break a record, and Guinness World Records are here to document their journeys.
So let’s take a look at some recently broken records – and who knows, maybe you’ll get inspired to discover your own super-power!
Fastest time to complete three ‘FREESTYLE 5’ football tricks (Under 16s)
Do you play football?
11-year-old Benjamin Taylor from the UK is a keen footballer and an aspiring football freestyler, who just broke an amazing record!
He achieved the fastest time to complete three ‘FREESTYLE 5’ football (soccer) tricks (Under 16s) in just 6.30 seconds… WOW.
Of course, Ben practised for weeks before making this official attempt, and thankfully his hard work paid off.
Congratulations!
Largest collection of Shopkins memorabilia
Australian Shopkins superfan Alexa Szerstuk showed us her jaw-dropping, record-breaking collection of 2,656 different Shopkins-themed items!
She started collecting them over 10 years ago, when she was 7. Here’s what she told us:
“My friends think it’s pretty cool that they know a Guinness World Records title holder, but the ones who have seen the room definitely think I’m pretty insane to have so many but once they know it means so much to me they think it’s pretty awesome.”

Largest display of origami dogs
Aria Omkrets and Campus Viktor Rydberg from Sweden made 3,134 origami dogs to break this awesome record!
In case you didn’t know, origami is the Japanese art of folding paper to make shapes, animals, and other cool things without using glue or scissors…
So if you’re into arts and crafts, why not give it a try?

Youngest person to land a BMX flair (male)
At the age of 6 years and 10 days, little Tsumugi Tamura from Japan achieved something most grown-ups can’t, and made history!
Pretty cool, right?
Tsumugi hopes that his record will inspire all the kids BMX riders around the world to know that age doesn’t matter when it comes to making your dreams come true.
In fact, he first successfully performed this trick at the age of 5 years and 11 months, before he even turned 6!
Most pogo stick jumps in one minute (Under 16s)
9-year-old Elis Weisert from USA jumped 217 TIMES on her pogo stick in just 60 seconds, breaking this epic record.
Elis saw this record while reading the Guinness World Records book in a park with friends, and simply knew they could beat it!
This is what happens when you believe in yourself and try hard to succeed.
