古巴人坐颠“普天同庆”球创纪录

Cuban Erick Hernandez on Thursday said he had set a world record for juggling the Jabulani World Cup ball, while sitting down.

古巴人埃里克·赫尔南德兹于上周四称，日前他创下了一项坐颠世界杯用球“普天同庆”的世界记录。

Hernandez told reporters he had juggled the Jabulani -- which some World Cup stars criticised for its lightness and unpredictable trajectories -- for three hours, three minutes and 14 seconds at a Havana hotel.

赫尔南德兹告诉记者说，他在哈瓦那的一家旅馆连续颠球3小时3分钟14秒。世界杯的一些参赛球员抱怨本届世界杯用球“普天同庆”太轻，飞行轨迹难以捉摸。

"I came in a bit tired as I have been doing exhibitions during the World Cup," said the 43-year-old, nicknamed 'The Dominator'.

人称“主宰者”的43岁的赫尔南德兹说：“我在世界杯期间一直做表演，感觉有点累。”

Hernandez, a self-confessed Brazil fan, described the ball as "having a good bounce" and "very lively".

自称巴西队球迷的赫尔南德兹称“普天同庆”“弹性很好”，“很轻盈”。

He already holds a Guinness World record for heading the ball 319 times in just one minute and he even kicked a ball to the finish line in a marathon, completing the 42 kilometres in 7hr 17min.

他曾在一分钟内用头颠球319次，创下吉尼斯世界纪录。他甚至在一次马拉松比赛中踢着球跑完42公里的赛程，用时7小时17分。

The ball skills run in the family as brother Douglas managed an impressive -- and surely exhausting -- 100,026 touches in a 15-hour session in 1997.

赫尔南德兹的家族中不乏玩球高手，1997年，他的兄弟道格拉斯在15个小时内连续颠球100026次，令人惊叹，当然也非常累人。

Now Erick says he wants to try a 24-hour session.

而埃里克则表示，他想向24小时发起挑战。
