A Nepali youth has been able to register his name in the Guinness Book of World Records for holding highest number of tennis balls on a single palm for the longest time, reports say.
Rohit Timilsina, 25, a school teacher by profession has been able to set world record by holding 21 lawn tennis balls of International Tennis Federation standard 14.32 seconds.
Timilsina has surpassed the record of Arnand Desch, a Frenchman who had a record of holding 19 such balls for 10 seconds.
Timilsina performed the feat at a public function attended by tennis officials Surya Bhushan, Sarad Lama, Supreme Court Registrar Dr Ram Krishna Timilsina, and representatives of media, among others on June 14, 2008 at the Satdobato Lawn Tennis Court.
News clippings, video and audio footages were sent for recognition as a world record to the Guinness Book of World Records Headquarters, London, with the help of an organization named People Face.
Timilsina's name will be published in the 2010/11 edition of the Guinness Book.
Outside mountaineering, very few Nepalis have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
