An Iraqi man earned a place in the Guinness World Records by balancing 18 eggs on the back of his hand.
Man matches world record for balancing eggs
Ibrahim Sadeq matched the record previously set by Britain’s Jack Harris in May 2020, making them co-holders of the title, by skilfully balancing the fragile eggs on his hand.
Explaining his unique ability, Sadeq told Guinness: "I started balancing stuff around me and discovered that I was really good at it. After a while, I became even faster in balancing than the people I watched online."
The world-record holder said that he practiced four days a week before completing his balancing attempt and spoke of the importance of concentration in achieving the record.
Sadeq advised: "You need to have a high level of focus when attempting such a record, which is difficult to achieve.
"Add to that the pain and pressure your hands go through, I needed to be ready for that moment."
