Erick Hernández, the Record Breaker

The ball control master set a world record for the most touches using only the thighs while wearing 1.5 kilos on each ankle

Erick Hernández dedicated the new Guinness record to the Day of Physical Culture and Sports.

Erick Hernández impressed the world of ball control with another record on Sunday, November 21, 2021. Although it is a new achievement, the muscular athlete has already accustomed fans to these feats.

However, the one on Sunday was challenging, as days before, when everything was set for the attempt, the ball control master suffered an injury during warm-up, which forced him to postpone it. As on previous occasions, the test demanded high physical fitness to achieve more touches using only the thighs and with a weight of 1.5 kilograms on each ankle. The target was set at 2,739, which was surpassed as he achieved 2,902 ball touches in 30:46:00 minutes.

"I had to recover without stopping training. The demand is high, you have to maintain a rhythm and frequency of touches without losing the technique, which is what prevents losing the ball, and that must be maintained all the time, so concentration is vital," said Hernández.

It was his third world record during the time of the pandemic, and he admitted that he finished his work in this 2021. However, he stated that he has many ideas for the coming year.

He dedicated the new world record to the Day of Physical Culture and Sports and to his brother Douglas Hernández, a pioneer in the country in that specialty, who is recovering from a stroke.
