Sport stacking, also known as cup stacking, is an individual and team sport that involves stacking specially designed cups in pre-determined sequences as quickly as possible.
A team of four young Malaysians recently went viral for their impressive skills at cup stacking, beating their South Korean opponents in a head-to-head relay
According to sport stacking news page StackFleet, the Malaysian team achieved the world's fastest relay with a time of 28 seconds at the recent WSSA 2024 Asian Open Sport Stacking Championships.
"Malaysia enters the 2024 Asian Open as the returning International Challenge victors, hungry for more. What's better than one title? Two," reads the viral video's caption.
According to the World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA), the athletes showcased in the video are Luw Tze Hin, Woo Xin Yi, Chin Kang Yu, and Chan Keng Ian.
Chan is recognised as one of the fastest male sport stackers globally, while Woo ranks among the world's fastest female stackers, with both of them holding multiple world records.
