An amazing video has emerged of a Chinese student breaking the world record of speed skipping by jumping 110 times per foot in half a minute, which meant 220 in total, 7.3 skips per second.

In the footage, filmed on the VLCC World Inter-School Rope Competition at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex in Dubai, the student can be seen bending down his back and moving so fast that the rope is hardly visible.

According to news reports, the ten-year-old young winner named Cen Xiaolin was a fifth grade student of a primary school in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province in China. He broke two records in the competition, one of which was previously set by himself.
