The 13-year-old contortionist from Palestine ran around his seemingly-elastic body 38 times, smashing the previous record of 29.
The teenage athlete’s record
attempt was organised in partnership with telecommunications companies
Orange Jordan and Wataniya Mobile Palestine, which invited an official
Guinness World Records judge along to verify the record on site.
A group of Mohammed’s family and friends also came along to cheer him on in the 60 second challenge.
Spider-Boy, who was born with an exceptionally-flexible spine, has been a competing athlete for five years now.
In 2015 he entered Arab’s Got Talent
and reached the final three contenders, but his ambition is to go even
further: “I have a wish and I hope to be a world champion in my sport,”
he told Guinness World Records.
“My dream for the future is to be famous and well known throughout the world,” he reiterated.
Mohammed
practices his skills for hours every day at a sports club in Gaza city,
but he wants to leave the Gaza Strip and travel the world demonstrating
his talents.
"By leaving Mohammed in Gaza we bury a unique talent," Spider-Boy’s coach Mohammed Lubbad told Daily Mail.
