This Record Keeps Getting Broken 😴

Another day, another broken record... Cristiano Ronaldo held the record of highest bicycle kick in football history for 7 years straight. In the last month alone, it's been broken TWICE. Original record: CR7 vs Juventus 2018 Champions League -- 2.38 meters 🇵🇹 Last month: Paul Onuachu reached 2.41 meters on his overhead kick 🇳🇬 Last night: Scott McTominay cooks them both -- 2.60 meters during World Cup qualifiers for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The reason is actually pretty fascinating: height. Ronaldo's jumping is incredible, but of these 3 players he's the shortest by a decent amount -- 6 foot 1. 📏 Onuachu is 6 foot 7. While his legs can reach higher, being this tall is actually a disadvantage in terms of technique because it's much harder to jump. ❌ McTominay is 6 foot 3. In this context, the ideal height to break the record. Why? Ronaldo has technique, Onuachu has height. McTominay has both! ✔👀 #football #soccer #sports #worldcup #fifa #cr7 #bike #skills #goals #record #futbol #athlete #fitness #physics #cristianoronaldo #futebol #championsleague #respect #footballshorts #sport
