The young girl skated 193 feet under the cars in 13.74 seconds while bending down in a middle-split position, according to the official Guinness World Records website. Roller skating beneath an obstacle, in a horizontal pole position, without touching it, is known as limbo skating or roller limbo. Twitter users have posted a video of her performance which has won the internet.

“The fastest time to limbo skate under twenty cars is 13.74 seconds and was achieved by Deshna Aditya Nahar (India) in Pune, Maharashtra, India on 16 April 2022,” Guinness World Record shared, further adding, “Deshna Aditya Nahar prepared for this record attempt for one and a half years.”

She first developed a passion for skating when she was five years old. Deshna, a tenacious skater who has a lot of experience and has had her sights set on a Guinness record for some time, is just half as old as the previous record holder.

According to her father Aditya Nahar, Deshna has been training for this record in limbo skating for the last six months. Her coach was really supportive of her the entire time. He encouraged her to work harder.

The limbo skater has spent the past month perfecting her skills at her training centre on Katraj Kondhwa Road in Pune. Her father also constructed a skating rink for her at his construction site. On June 14, after verification, the Nahars received an official certificate from Guinness.

“The three representatives had come from Rajkot, Ahmedabad and Delhi to check that we met all their criteria such as fitness level, floor distance, slope, etc. They also checked the cars for safety measures,” said the record breaker's father.
