Harichandra Giri of the Nepalese Army set his seventh Guinness World Record on January 4, 2026, by descending 100 stairs in 4.71 seconds in Yunyang, Chongqing, China. Between 2021 and 2023, Giri has established seven different Guinness World Records in various categories. He stated that all his efforts were initiated and funded by himself and has appealed for financial support. Kathmandu, 23 April.
Giri achieved the feat by descending 100 stairs in just 4.71 seconds using only his hands for support. Many congratulated him upon setting this Guinness World Record. Giri traveled to the event at his own expense. Last year, while auditioning for “Britain’s Got Talent” in London, he set a Guinness World Record by drinking half a liter (500 ml) of lemon juice in 24 seconds using only one hand while descending stairs backwards.
He established this record at the Guinness World Records headquarters in London on September 10, 2025. Lance Corporal Giri from the Physical Training and Sports Center of the Nepalese Army achieved his sixth Guinness World Record by performing 120 skips in one minute on a moving upright tire, earning the record for “Most Skips on an Upright Tire.”
Giri joined the Nepalese Army 13 years ago and despite holding seven Guinness World Records, he has expressed frustration over widespread neglect. He said, “No matter what skills and talents I present, all my efforts have been on my own initiative, labor, and expense. Perhaps the government has its priorities, but I have yet to receive any support.” He appealed for financial aid, saying he would be able to attend the “Britain’s Got Talent” audition if assisted.
