Vietnamese acrobatic brothers Giang Quoc Co and Giang Quoc Nghiep set a new world record with their head-balancing act in Milan, Italy on February 3.

Previously in 2021, the Giang brothers set another world record when they climbed 100 steps in 53 seconds, at the Saint Mary’s Cathedral in Girona, Spain, 10 steps more than the previous record established at the same venue in 2016.

The Giang brothers received the invitation to perform at the Guinness World Record Show in Milan, from the event’s organiser, Banijay S.p.A Company. They had only three weeks to prepare for the show.

They announced that this will be the firework record for their circus career.

Quoc Co was born in 1984 while his brother, Quoc Nghiep was born in 1989. Co started circus training when he was four, while Nghiep began at five. Co and Nghiep received the Meritorious Artist title in 2012 and 2015, respectively.
