An Indian artist specialising in miniaturised versions of everyday objects celebrated the upcoming Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023, by creating what he believes to be the world’s smallest hockey stick.

Satya Narayan Maharana carved a pair of minute wooden hockey sticks: one measuring one-centimetre-tall and one-millimetre-wide, and the other measuring only five millimetres tall and one millimetre wide.

Maharana is applying to have the smaller of the two sticks certified as the world’s smallest hockey stick by Guinness World Records.
