Cuban World Record Holder Breaks
Own Mark in Ball Control
HAVANA, Cuba, Sept 24 (acn)
Cuban Erick Hernandez broke his own world record in ball control,
using only his tights, without dropping the ball to the floor for a
period of 1:33:29 hours, at the Copacabana Hotel, in Havana.
|
Hernandez set his previous record (1:28 hours) in the facilities
of the Club Havana, in this same city, in 2009.
For a moment it seemed he wouldnt be able to make it, but he
knew how to keep balance when hitting the ball to achieve his
purpose.
The Cuban world-record holder told ACN that he was very tense
because he did not want to fail so that he could dedicate this
deed to the centenary of football in Cuba and to the 51st
anniversary of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution
(CDRs)
Hernandez explained that all ball control tests are very
difficult, but the modality of using tights only, in particular,
requires almost perfect physical training, and this is the
result.
He noted that in spite of all that training as he past the 1:20
hours he started to feel very exhausted but he was able to
control it and achieve his third record of the year.
Among his most outstanding universal records in ball control,
there is: 100 meter (17.38 seconds), marathon (7.17 hours), and
in longest time hitting the ball with the whole body (19.10
hours).
