ISLAMABAD – Rizwan Mehsood, a 12-year-old boy from a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan, has achieved another milestone as he sets a new record for most front-to-back claps.
The young gymnastic student achieved the feat earlier this year in March – smashing the previous record of Syrian boy Amro Merei, with 64 claps in half a minute.
The schoolboy beat the record in the safer city of Dera Ismail Khan, a city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where he now lives with his family.
