I had to practice for 16 hours a day for four months before the first record, Mahmudul added.

(Web Desk) – Mahmudul Hasan, a 17-year-old Bangladeshi boy, from Magura broke world record in freestyle basketball arm rolling with 144 rolls in a minute to embed his name for the second time in Guinness World Record.

After receiving an official letter from Guinness Book authorities, Mahmud shared his honor with the local media about his recognition in the freestyle basketball arm rolling.

According to a website, notably Mahmudul entered the Guinness World Records earlier in August 2018 for freestyle football arm rolling for 134 times in a minute.

Mahmudul is studying mechatronics technology at Magura Poly Technique Institute. His father’s name is Sohel Rana, a retired army official and mother is Monjuara Khanam, a housewife.

Mahmud wanted to do something different since his childhood. In 2018, he scored the first Guinness record by football arm rolling for 134 times in a minute. He scored 144 times basketball arm rolling in a minute and achieved the record again.

He said, it was not hard to secure the record a second time.

“I had to practice for 16 hours a day for four months before the first record,” he added.

Mahmudul intends to score more records soon to represent Bangladesh on a global platform.
