April 25, 2022

When Chinese athlete Gao Chong broke the Guinness record for the most ball touches in one minute using only his head (341), he did not know that he was imposing a new challenge on the man of ball mastery in Cuba, Erick Hernández, who took on such a challenge and prepared for it with the sacrifice and responsibility that it entails.

"I had to rescue that record for Cuban sports, my followers and family, who for 20 years have been my greatest motivation for these achievements," said Erick, noting that a last-minute discomfort put at risk so many hours of preparation and effort, but desires and years give you a mastery to be able to deal with the unforeseen and fulfill the objectives.

"I have a luxury work team. Without them, this achievement would not be possible," he said.

The man who has set more than 50 records in varied modalities of this demanding specialty, this Saturday had to bring out the extra of champions to impose new numbers. It was 10:00 am in the lobby of the Copacabana Hotel, the usual place for these moments, and where everyone wanted to be a witness to the sporting victory.

And Erick Hernández delivered for everyone (351): we have a new record!
