5-Year-Old Pakistani Martial Artist Sufiyan Mehsood Breaks Indian World Record
In an extraordinary achievement, five-year-old Sufiyan Mehsood from South Waziristan has become Pakistan’s youngest Guinness World Record holder by breaking a record previously held by an Indian martial artist. Sufiyan accomplished the “softest time to climb around a person” in just 7.87 seconds, outdoing India’s MV Arjun Priyan, who held the record with a time of 9.78 seconds.
The record, known as the Koala Challenge, gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and is recognized as one of the more challenging feats in martial arts. Sufiyan’s success is even more remarkable considering his age and the difficulty of the task.
This achievement adds to the legacy of his father, Irfan Mehsood, who was the first Pakistani to set 100 Guinness World Records. Sufiyan expressed his joy, stating that breaking the record was a challenging yet fulfilling experience.
The news of Sufiyan’s accomplishment has been met with pride and admiration from Pakistanis, further highlighting the talent and determination of the young martial artist.
