New World Record...

Today in Belgium Ben Hoste (Belgium) set a new World Record in 30 seconds. In 30 seconds he collected 455 points. This is equivalent for 182 times skipping the rope: Right foot counting only x 5.

He also 'skipped' a new European Record in the endurance. In three minutes we scored 435 points. Also here only the right foot is counted, making it 870 skips in 180 seconds. The World Record holder is still with 436 points Mike Fry (USA).

The absolute record-holder is still a female! Alexandra Toth (Hungary) scored 94 in 30 seconds and and 445 in three minutes. Last weekend she scored again 94, but with two little mistakes...

With the upcoming European Masters in two weeks in Eger (Hungary) this is is becoming an interesting and potentially record-breaking Championship.
