A 24-year-old Manipur man has set a new Guinness World Record for the maximum number of push-ups done in one minute. Thounaojam Niranjoy Singh, a native of the Imphal West region of Manipur, set the record during an Aztecs Sports Manipur event on January 14.
However, after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju posted a video of the youth surpassing his previous record, it received media attention. Singh, a two-time Guinness World Record holder, smashed his previous record of 105 push-ups in one minute by doing 109 push-ups.
