New Delhi : A nine-year-old boy from Florida created a new Guinness World Record by clapping 1080 times within a minute. Earlier, Eli Bishop had the title to his name with 1020 claps in one minute.

Seven Wade developed an interest in breaking the record after watching it on the YouTube.

Wade's father said: "Seven badly wanted to break the world record and began bursting into random clapping episodes every chance he could to make his point. Eventually we told him that if he really wanted us to take him seriously about making an official world record attempt, he would have to prove it by setting up a daily practice schedule where he would speed clap in longer intervals than his usual 15-20 seconds."

“I think it was important for Seven to witness and understand that a lot of preparation and planning goes into something like this. It’s not enough to just be good at something,” the father said.

As mentioned in a news report, Wade used to practice against the timer of a microwave.

Well, Guinness Book now officially has his name marked and it will take a while when someone would be able to break his record.
