Young Kesia entered the International Book of Records after naming all 195 countries and their capitals in a record time.

While many of us were taking up new hobbies like baking or making tiktok videos during lockdown, eight year old Keisa was working on succeeding in a unique challenge of her own.

The fourth grader at Doha’s MES Indian School wanted to not only perfectly memorise the name of every country in the world and their capitals, but also to recite them as quickly as humanly possible.

After months of practice and dedication Keisa succeeded, naming all the countries in the world and their capitals in a world record time of two minutes 52 seconds, breaking the all previous times recorded.
