Queensland boy Lachlan Racovalis breaks pogo stick jumping Guinness World Record

·

Twelve-year-old Lachlan Racovalis from Gympie, Queensland, has set a Guinness World Record by completing 187 pogo stick jumps in one minute, surpassing the previous Under-16 record of 172 jumps.

Lachlan, who lives with autism, trained daily for the feat, and his mother, Kim Racovalis, managed the rigorous application process.

“It was quite daunting,” Kim told ABC News.

Her efforts paid off when Lachlan smashed the previous record in June this year, though it took months for Guinness to confirm.

Kim praised her son’s determination, calling his achievement an inspiration for all children. While Lachlan is considering future records, for now, he is savouring his success.
