The Guinness World Records, has announced a Nigerian, Tonye Solomon, as the new record holder for the most steps climbed on a ladder while balancing a football on the head.
Solomon achieved this feat by climbing 150 ladder steps in 12-and-half-minutes.
The Guinness World Records said that Solomon once completed a 60 km journey from Amassoma to Yenagoa with a football on his head, but some people doubted his story. To prove them wrong, he then went ahead to set a World Record by climbing 150 steps on a ladder with a football on his head.
He successfully achieved this impressive feat last month by climbing a 250-foot tall radio mast while keeping control of the ball on his head.
While spending two months training for it, using all his free time to practice, Solomon said he wanted to set this record to challenge himself and “inspire others to do great things.”
Tonye Solomon is a member of the Chukwuebuka Freestyle Academy, led by Chukwuebuka Ezugha. This academy has nurtured many talents like Kid Eche, Vincent Okezie, Victor Richard Kipo, and Confidence Kipo, who have all achieved remarkable records.
