Ten-year-old Steve Purugganan from Longmeadow, Massachusetts set two new world records at the World Sport Stacking Championships. The Filipino-American boy became this year’s World Sport Stacking champion by clocking 1.86 seconds for the Individual 3-3-3 Stack Division and also clocking 6.21 seconds for the Individual Cycle Stack Division. The previous record holder for both events was himself.
Sport stacking is formerly known as cup stacking and commonly known as speed stacking.Here’s the two events that Steve Purugganan set records on:
3-3-3
StackCups are “up stacked” and “down stacked” from left to right or right to left (individual preference) in three stacks made up of three cups in each stack (3-3-3).
Cycle Stack
A sequence of stacks combining a 3-6-3 stack, a 6-6 stack, and a 1-10-1 stack, in that order. Stackers conclude the Cycle stack with cups in a 3-6-3 “down stacked” position.
