Fatima Naseem becomes the first Pakistani female athlete to achieve 10 world records, while her record-breaking family has secured more than 180 records for Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s 13-year-old martial arts sensation Fatima Naseem has achieved another remarkable milestone by completing 10 world records, further establishing herself as one of the country’s most promising young athletes.
Fatima made headlines after defeating Indian athlete Debajyoti Sarkar’s record by delivering 340 punches in one minute while holding eggs in her hands. Sarkar’s previous record stood at 331 punches.
The achievement also made Fatima the first Pakistani female athlete to establish 10 world records, according to the details reported about her latest accomplishments.
In another remarkable feat, Guinness World Records recognized Fatima in the stretching category. She maintained a balanced stretching position between two chairs for one minute and 45 seconds, surpassing the previous benchmark of one minute and 30 seconds.
Fatima has also defeated several international record holders. She has previously surpassed records associated with Indian martial artists and achieved a record against renowned flexibility athlete Liberty Barros, who has performed her skills on major shows in the United Kingdom, the United States and Spain.
She has also recorded a victory over German martial arts athlete Paulina Glebova, who holds multiple world records, as well as breaking a record associated with Indian martial artist Kiran Uniyal.
Despite her achievements on the international stage, Fatima has reportedly not received formal government sponsorship to support her sporting career.
Record-Breaking Family
Fatima’s achievements are part of a remarkable family legacy. Her father, mother, grandfather and brother are also associated with Guinness World Records.
According to the report, the family has collectively secured more than 180 world records for Pakistan, while Fatima’s father Naseem has individually achieved 165 world records.
The family continues to pursue record-breaking achievements largely through its own efforts, bringing international recognition to Pakistan through martial arts, flexibility and other physical skills.
Fatima’s latest accomplishments have once again highlighted the potential of young Pakistani athletes and the importance of providing them with greater opportunities, training facilities and institutional support.
