The Guinness World Record for the most claps in one minute is now held by an American speed clapper who outperformed Eli Bishop, the former world’s fastest clapper.
Dalton Meyer, 20, of Davenport, broke the Guinness World Record by clapping his hands 1,140 times in one minute, or around 19 claps per second. He beat the previous record by 37 claps.
American clapper makes new Guinness world record. According to the Guinness World Records, “the most claps in a minute is 1,140 and was achieved by Dalton Meyer in Geneseo, Illinois, USA, on 12 March 2022. Dalton first saw the record for most claps in a minute in elementary school and has perfected his claps ever since.”
However, the internet appears to be divided on Eli’s skill. People congratulated Eli on his feat, several took to the comments section to poke fun at him.
One user commented, “I need him for my graduation.” Another user commented, “How do you count them? Must have seen something spectacular to earn a 1,103 clap round of applause.”
Guinness World Records, known from its inception in 1955 until 1999 as The Guinness Book of Records and in previous United States editions as The Guinness Book of World Records, is a reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The brainchild of Sir Hugh Beaver, the book was co-founded by twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter in Fleet Street, London, in August 1955.
