Record Narrative
In the restless pulse of Istanbul, a young man moves against time itself. Seventeen-year-old Abdullah Gül has done what few have the endurance — or the obsession — to attempt. In just 30 seconds, his body struck the ground 98 times in perfect rhythm — a storm of motion, breath, and defiance.
He has filmed himself over 1,000 times, documenting every rep, every imperfection, every small rebellion against fatigue. By day he serves tables as a waiter; by night he sculpts endurance from exhaustion — training five times a week, chasing not applause but transcendence.
He tells us he trains “to set new goals, to inspire others, to push my own limits." There is no sponsor, no coach, no crowd — only the hum of Istanbul, the flicker of a stopwatch, and a young man refusing to yield.
This new record obliterates the previous benchmark held by Tom Enoch of the United Kingdom, who completed 60 mountain-climber exercises in 30 seconds on 11 March 2023, certified by Guinness World Records. Abdullah has now redefined what human acceleration looks like — the line between movement and willpower blurred into one.
This is what the human spirit looks like when no one is watching. And now — when the world finally is — he stands as an Atlas World Record Holder.
98 mountain climbers. 30 seconds. Istanbul, Turkey — 2025.
Transparent Adjudicator's Statement
Summary of Claim
The claim asserted that Abdullah Gül completed 98 valid mountain-climber repetitions within a continuous 30-second period on 22 October 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey, thereby exceeding previously recognized benchmarks for the discipline.
Evidence Submitted
Evidence reviewed included the original high-resolution video file of the full 30-second attempt and a signed witness statement. The recording was a continuous single-take video covering the full 0:00 to 0:30 duration without interruption. A verification hash and proof file were generated in accordance with Atlas Verification Protocol AVP-72.
Comparative and Cross-Archive Benchmark Review
The Atlas adjudicator team reviewed records from recognized international registries. Guinness World Records documented a 60-repetition benchmark under standardized adjudication. Elite World Records listed a prior performance of 84 repetitions by Abdullah Gül in a minor-male category. No verified record exceeding 98 repetitions within 30 seconds was identified in any recognized archive. Accordingly, the 98-repetition performance establishes a new highest verified benchmark in this category.
Verification Methodology
The Atlas adjudicator team conducted a full technical and forensic review under AVP-72. The continuous 30-second recording was analyzed at 30 frames per second, representing approximately 900 frames. Motion was evaluated using AI-assisted frame differentiation tools and each repetition was manually confirmed by two independent adjudicators. The total count of 98 distinct repetitions was verified within the 30-second window. Checksum validation and timestamp analysis were applied to confirm file integrity and the absence of edits, dropped frames, or anomalies. The attempt was recorded in a controlled, well-lit environment with a stationary camera and uninterrupted motion.
Adjudication Findings
Primary quantitative verification confirmed 98 valid mountain-climber repetitions performed within the defined 30-second timeframe. Frame-by-frame analysis demonstrated clear completion of each repetition under consistent movement standards. Identity and age were verified through submission documentation confirming that Abdullah Gül was 17 years old at the time of the attempt. Comparative review confirmed that the previous widely recognized benchmark was 60 repetitions achieved by Tom Enoch in 2023. Additional claims, including an unverified report of 112 or more repetitions without standardized evidence, were excluded due to insufficient documentation and lack of transparent methodology. All evidence met Atlas standards for reproducibility and traceability.
Conclusion
Atlas World Records hereby certifies that Abdullah Gül of Turkey achieved the world record for Most Mountain Climber Exercises in 30 Seconds (Individual) with 98 verified repetitions performed in Istanbul, Turkey, on 22 October 2025. This performance stands as the highest authenticated result in its category under Atlas adjudication standards.
