According to the global authority on record-breaking accomplishments, two Pakistani girls have beaten India and Sweden in three separate Guinness World Records.
The records were set in December 2020, but Guinness World Records just recently certified them.
Emma Alam, a Karachi native, “breaks two world records, and teammate Syeda Kisa Zehra breaks one world record, and both girls are recognized by the Guinness World Records,” according to a statement released Tuesday by the Guinness World Records.
Alam, the World Memory Champion 2020, smashed the world records for Most Random Words Memorized in Sequence in 15 Minutes (410 random words to be exact) a record previously held by India, as well as Most Names and Faces Memorized in 15 Minutes, with 218 names and faces memorized, a record previously held by Sweden.
Both Alam and Zehra, a gold medalist at the 29th World Memory Championship broke India’s previous world record in fictional dates; however, the latter scored higher than the former, winning the Guinness World Records award.
