Limbo girl Shrishti entersGuinness Book for 9th time

 

 

 

WCL Umrer limbo skater, Shrishti Dharmendra Sharma has been setting and breaking her own records right from 2014. After making her maiden entry into the Guinness Book of World Records, Shrishti has created a record of sorts by making it to the Guinness Book of World Records on nine occasions. The latest came at Monza (Milan), Italy. The 19-year-old Shrishti effortlessly swifts underneath the obstacles. Recently, she created a new GuinnessWorld Record for fastest time to limbo skate under descending bars over 50 metres at Autodromo Nazionale Formula 1 Car Race track Monza (Milan), Italy taking a mere 9.6 seconds.

 

The event was organised by Banijay Italia for Lo Show Dei Record. Shrishti attempted this record at 8pm when the temperature was less than zero degree Celsius which was quite a difficult ambience for the Umrer girl to attempt the record. She was awarded with a medal and a certificate engraved with the symbol of Guinness World Records on it by the official judge of Guinness World Record Sofia Greenacre. Back in Nagpur, Shrishti was felicitated by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari for achieving the GuinnessWorld Record in Milan. “It was an incredible honour and a memorable experience. I wish to thank all who have supported me in creating another milestone in Milan, Italy,” Shrishti told‘The Hitavada’. Shrishti has been achieving new heights since she was just 11. China’s Xu Wue was the first record holder of limbo skating over 50 metres with a timing of 7.97 seconds set in 2011. Shrishti broke this record and brought the record to a remarkable timing of 7.38 seconds. Not satisfied, she worked hard to better it. She broke the previous record of 7.38 seconds set in 2021 to a brand new milestone of 6.94 seconds in 2023.

 

The first Guinness World Records title that Shrishti achieved, aged 10, was the lowest limbo skating over 10 metres in which she passed under the height of 16.5 centimetres height. In 2015, the second Guinness World Records title that Shrishti achieved at the age of 11 was lowest limbo skating over 25 metres. She successfully skated underneath 25 bars placed at the incredibly low height of 17 cm (6.69 in). In 2017, Shrishti took her talents to an ice rink, where she achieved the lowest limbo ice skating over 10 metres at a height of 17.78 cm (7 in) and became the world’s first ice limbo skater. Shrishti broke the record of fastest time to limbo skate under 10 bars (2.062 secs) to 1.72 secs in 2020 at her very own Centre Point School, Wardhaman Nagar, Nagpur. The hunger of giving her best kept on driving her to break her very own record. She further quickened her timing to 1.69 secs in 2021 and then to 1.23 secs in 2023. Apart from excelling in limbo skating, Shrishti has also done well in studies. She has scored 86% in her class 12th CBSE examination. Her aim is to get admission in Armed Force Medical College so as to serve Indian Army. She had also participated in RSFI Roller Hockey National Championships and is a bronze medallist in short track ice speed skating.
