٠٠:٠٣:١٤Identical twins Angelo and Ettore Rossetti made history on Saturday in Stamford, Connecticut, by achieving 10,000 consecutive volley rallies in Pickleball, setting a new Guinness World Record. The remarkable feat was part of a fundraising campaign for Save the Children, aimed at supporting the organisation’s efforts to improve the lives of children worldwide.
After successfully completing the record-breaking volley, Angelo Rossetti, a Pickleball professional, announced, "The Guinness World Record for the longest Pickleball volley rally, 10,000 volleys without letting the ball bounce."
Pickleball, a sport that has gained popularity for its accessibility and appeal to players of all ages, served as an ideal platform for the Rossetti brothers' endeavour. Ettore Rossetti emphasised the sport's inclusivity, noting that it's easy to get started with just a single lesson.
"It's a sport of all ages and abilities, you can start with one lesson in play the very same day. So because of that, the collegial spirit, and the community atmosphere for pickleball make it so popular and so fun. And that's why we chose this sport as a platform to raise awareness and funds for Save the Children," said Ettore Rossetti.
The challenge, however, lay in maintaining the rally for such an extended period, which required perfect coordination and teamwork.
The twins set a fundraising goal of $10,000 for Save the Children, matching their volley count. Ettore's long-standing involvement with the organisation, spanning 20 years, underscored their deep commitment to the cause.
Save the Children, established in 1919 in the UK, is a global non-governmental organisation dedicated to improving the lives of children through education, healthcare, and emergency aid. The Rossetti brothers' record-breaking achievement was not just a testament to their athletic skill but also a significant contribution to the organisation’s mission of making a positive impact on children's lives around the world.
