Paul Sahli
Appearance
Paul Sahli (born 24 April 1948) is a Swiss juggler from Lostorf, Switzerland.
Sahli holds 64 world records, and in 2007 claimed that this was more than any other living person.[1] This record was surpassed, however, by Ashrita Furman, who in 2009 was recognized by Guinness World Records as the person holding the most records simultaneously.[2] All his records have something to do with balls and/or juggling, generally with his feet.
