LAHORE, Oct 21: Ahmed Bodla set a new world record on Sunday for kicking 617 times in three minutes.
Hailing from Peshawar, 19-year-old Bodla kicked a punching bag 617 times and was observed by the Guinness World Record team which declared him successful.
The victorious record breaker, while speaking to the media, revealed that his knee was injured and bandaged but despite the injury, he wanted to compete for the title.
“India keeps challenging us on social media websites like Facebook and it’s a good thing that we are competing with them,” said Bodla. He dedicated his victory to all Pakistanis.
He said, “I guarantee that the next time I will make a better record.”
Athletes and participants from different cities gathered at Lahore’s Expo Centre on Sunday to attempt breaking 13 records, followed by Saturday’s triumph of setting a world record of singing the national anthem by 44,200 Pakistanis at the National Hockey Stadium.—INP
