Toddler, 2, becomes holder of two Guinness World Records by becoming the youngest person to perform a pair of trick shots in snooker

A two-year-old has become the holder of two Guinness World Records by becoming the youngest person to perform a pair of trick shots in snooker. Jude Owens, who lives in Manchester, UK, successfully performed a pool bank shot at two years and 302 days old on 12 October last year. The spectacle followed the child completing a snooker double pot just five weeks beforehand, when he was two years and 261 days old. The achievements make Jude officially the youngest person ever to perform both trick shots, as well as being one of the youngest double record holders in Guinness World Records history. Judes father, Luke Owens, first noticed his sons natural ability at home, where snooker quickly became the toddlers favourite hobby. He said: I think I realised once he put the cue through his fingers and it was de@d natural the way he did it. Owens said that he would use bar stools for his son to reach the table given his height, but that the family now uses a stool they originally used while cooking. He added: I think for me, Judes achieved quite a lot in such a short space of time. But for him to achieve not just one, but two world records, its probably the pinnacle moment. How do you even beat that in life? The authority on world records said that Jude was given a special walk-out entrance at the 2025 UK Championship and that he was the youngest-known person to have a sponsorship in the sport. Owens said: I started playing when I was 10 and obviously Jude started playing when he was two. But Id say Judes got a lot more natural ability than myself. When asked who would win in a snooker match between him and his father, Jude replied confidently: Me. Judes family said he was a devoted Manchester United fan and obsessed with Bruno Fernandes. The editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, Craig Glenday, said: Record-breaking has always belonged to everyone regardless of age. To see someone as young as Jude display such skill, enthusiasm and determination is incredibly special. Were thrilled to welcome him into the Guinness World Records family. See video below. The post Toddler, 2, becomes holder of two Guinness World Records by becoming the youngest person to perform a pair of trick shots in snooker appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
