Share to Google Classroom

David Rush, a serial record-breaker from Boise, Idaho, has set another Guinness World Record by bouncing a ping-pong ball off a wall with his mouth 47 times in 30 seconds.

Rush, who already holds the most Guinness World Records titles concurrently, beat his previous record of 43 bounces. He attempted this challenge during a special event at Guinness World Records headquarters in London.

Rush admitted the challenge was tough, requiring a lot of speed, accuracy, and consistency. Despite many failed attempts, he persevered and successfully broke his own record. “It’s not the most glamorous record, but I’m proud of the effort and determination it took to achieve it,” Rush said.

His accomplishment shows that with practice and persistence, even the most unusual goals can be reached!
