SEVEN-YEAR-OLD AZERBAIJANIS RENEWED WORLD RECORD

Seven-year-old resident of Ashagi Nuvedi village of Lankoran region Alasgar Rahim oglu Hasanzade became winner of the sports contest held in Moscow. Within one hour 45 minutes and 25 second, starting from reclining position, he managed to touch his toes with fingers 3 thousand times (like in exercise for strengthening stomach muscles) and renewed the world record. Alasgar Hasanzade has become the youngest record-holder included in the Guinness the book. The little sportsman was awarded with the gold medal and diploma of the Russian Committee for Registration of planet records, as well as registered in the Guinness book as honorary member.

The letter from the International Agency for Records and Achievements addressed to the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, describes Alasgar Hasanzade as the national property.

Head of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met with Alasgar Hasanzade last year at the opening of the Olympic sports complex in Lankaran.
