# An athlete from Mykolaiv set a world record for the number of spins while running

Ukrainian athlete Haik Mikaelyan from Mykolaiv set a world record for the number of 360-degree spins while running on a treadmill. In one hour of continuous running at a speed of nearly 10.5 km/h, he covered a distance of 10 km 350 m and completed 1,355 full rotations around his own axis.

According to Lana Vetrova, head of the National Register of Records of Ukraine, the athlete completed a rotation on average every 2.7 seconds, demonstrating exceptional stability of his vestibular system and complete control over his body—a level of physical exertion comparable to that of cosmonaut training.

Regina Abramova, a 7-year-old gymnast from Lviv, set a new Ukrainian record. This is already the athlete’s sixth national achievement. This time, Regina performed 101 back-swings on the horizontal bar.

In Perth, Australia, 75-year-old Esther Fisher set a Guinness World Record as the oldest person in the world to perform a handstand. To set the record, she had to hold the position without assistance for at least 15 seconds.
