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。

Ex-soccer player Erick Hernandez is seen kicking a ball in La Habana, Cuba in 2003. Hernandez on Thursday said he had set a world record for juggling the Jabulani World Cup ball, while sitting down.
Hernandez told reporters he had juggled（玩杂耍） the Jabulani（普天同庆） -- which some World Cup stars criticised for its lightness and unpredictable（不可预知的，出乎意料的） trajectories（轨迹） -- for three hours, three minutes and 14 seconds at a Havana hotel.

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

Hernandez, a self-confessed（公开承认的） Brazil fan, described the ball as "having a good bounce" and "very lively".

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（马拉松） , completing the 42 kilometres in 7hr 17min.

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.

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