On November 9, 2017, Yuya Yamada of Japan set the world record for ‘largest hula hoop ever spun‘. Using a custom-made, aluminium hoop that measured 5.14 meters (16 ft, 10 in) in diameter, Yamada successfully spun the giant hula hoop six consecutive times.

In order to qualify for the world record, an individual ‘must sustain a minimum of three full and consecutive revolutions with the hoop remaining between shoulders and hips’. Congrats Yuya!
