The fastest time to climb around an individual has been surpassed by Irfan Mehsood of Pakistan and his five-year-old son Sufiyan Mehsood, setting a new Guinness world record.
The two set a new record on June 19 in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, when they climbed around a person in 7.87 seconds.
Previous holders of the record were MV Arjun Priyan and K Gokulnath from India.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also praised Irfan’s son Sufiyan on Thursday, congratulating the five-year-old for breaking a Guinness world record.
The prime minister wrote in a message, “Sufiyan Mehsood has made his parents and the country proud by achieving this remarkable feat at a tender age.”
He acknowledged Sufiyan’s extraordinary talent and said that kids with such talent are sure to have bright futures.
