World
Records
Guinness Book
First I
would like to introduce myself. My name is Jacek Roszkowski I am 24 years old and I was
born on January 29, 1975 in Gdańsk. When I was 13, I left together with my parents and my
brother to Germany (Bonn), where I've been living till now. Since my childhood I've been
interested in football and I played as a goalkeeper in sports club 'KKS Gedania' and
'Lechia Gdansk', however during my free time I've occupied myself with jugglery.
At the beginning it was just my
hobby, however my father soon uncovered my talent, and he also became my manager and
organizer of all performances. After several years of jugglery training we decided, that
the new world record needed to be set and s o it happened. On July 23, 1993 in Gdansk
(Hotel Hevelius) I set my first record - I bounced the football with my head 173 times in
30 seconds, yet, on Aprill9, 1995 I set my second record in the Academy of
Physical Education in Gdansk-Oliwa. Both o f m y records were entered into the Guinness
Book of World Records.
Nowadays, living in Germany,
I'm trying to advertise myself so as to perform in different kinds of sport and
entertainment events. So far I've had the pleasure to go to such places as Brazil, Poland,
Austria, Spain, Italy, Portugal and England, where I showed my jugglery.
In 1997 I signed a contract with a
company producing sports equipment FILA, which helped me with advertising and organizing
my performances. However, my time in not yet full taken up, s o in the future I'm planning
more shows on sport and entertainment events, therefore I hope to contact some people
concerned with my offer through Internet.
It may be sport clubs,
sponsors, shows and event organizers, advertising companies, concerns, that would like to
hire me to advertise their products. However, I'm also wining to perform for charity
events, as long as it is not going to interfere with my other shows.
Lately, September 23 was a very
important date for me, since I performed on the German national television
(ARD, ZDF) in show 'Guinness Show der
Rekorde', which is a great advertisement for me and it may increase my popularity and
cause the signing of contracts for new shows.
If there are some interested
people among you, that would like to cooperate with me, you can reach me at any time. All
dates can be fixed by phone, fax or writing to me.
Greetings for everybody.
