Kitanakagusuku – Gripping a metal pole with both hands and suspending his body horizontally like a “human carp flag,” Miki Nakamasu, 30, from Kitanakagusuku set a new Guinness World Record by holding the position for 36 seconds long. Nakamasu was delighted and a bit surprised, commenting, “I can’t believe I was really able to do it.”

The record-breaking attempt was performed on May 15 at Araha Park in Chatan, and was officially recognized as a Guinness World Record on August 17.

Nakamasu is the first person to set this particular record. Since there was no previous record to break, the requirement for the new world record was set at over 30 seconds.

Nakamasu used things like park exercise equipment for body-weight training and improving his health, and is a member of “Street Workout Okinawa.” Videos of training exercises are uploaded to social networking sites, and people who saw his video of the human carp flag encouraged him to go for the world record.

He also recorded himself on the day he broke the record.

Nakamasu says, “I set the goal after meeting with some of my friends. I think setting the Guinness World Record will help raise awareness for Street Workout.” Norihide Nakasone, 35, head of Street Workout Okinawa, said, “All of the members are happy as if it was their own record. Once the coronavirus has passed, we are going to get together to celebrate at Araha Park.”
