Nigerian Man, Anjola Olupitan Sets Guinness World Record For Fastest 10m Hand Walk.

Nigeria’s athlete Olupitan has officially been recognised by the Guinness World Record for the fastest 10-meter hand walk. He clocked in an impressive 12.52 seconds, shattering the previous record of 25.55 seconds set by Bonetics Art (Shaks) last year. That’s a whopping 13.03 seconds shaved off the previous record.

In a post via the microblogging site X, the GWR revealed Olupitan walked on his hands with his legs behind the head for 12.52 seconds.

Speaking about his feat via a social media post, Olupitan expressed his joy in being the “first-ever GWR holder in Ibadan”.

He thanked his audience who supported him during the attempt, including Oyo state’s executive adviser on youth and sports.

Anjola Olupitan’s attempt was held on February 24 at the Lekan Salami Stadium tennis court in Ibadan, Oyo state.
