PAENG NEPOMUCENO - WORLDS GREATEST BOWLER EVER!!!
Paeng Nepomuceno of the Philippines is a six-time world champion and is acknowledged worldwide as the greatest international bowler in the history of the sport. In recognition of his achievements, Juan Antonio Samaranch personally awarded Paeng with the prestigious IOC Presidents' Trophy which is the first for the sport of bowling. The International Bowling Hall of Fame displayed a glass encased 7-foot photo of Paeng at its bowling museum entrance based in St. Louis Missouri, U.S.A. The Guinness Book of World Records commencing with its 1994 edition, listed Paeng as having won the most number of World Cups which were achieved in each of three different decades. The World FIQ, the governing body of the sport, named Paeng as the “International Bowler of the Millennium” in behalf of 100 million bowlers.
The Guinness Book of World Records in its 2003 edition listed a second world record. The Guinness recognized that Paeng was the youngest ever to win a world title at the age of 19. The 2003 edition also updated the number of World Cup titles won by Paeng as it included in its records the fourth World Cup victory of Paeng in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1996.
