Aadhav Sugumar is a boy living in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Even though he is so young, he already has a world record.

The Chennai boy has broken a Guinness World Record. He is now the fastest person to climb 50 steps while hula hooping. Aadhav could do it within 18.28 seconds!

You can see the record-breaking climb in the video below. Guinness World Records said that the boy set the record on 10 April 10. Aadhav practised hula hooping for two years to break the record.

Many people praised Aadhav on social media. One of them was Bear Grylls, the famous star of the show Man vs Wild.

The previous record-holder was Ashrita Furman in the US. He had achieved this record in 23.39 seconds in 2018.

The Guinness World Records was started in 1955. It started as a yearly book that lists world records by people as well as natural events. Today, the book is published in 100 countries and 23 languages.  It has become very popular and has its own television series as well as a museum.
