Taking limbo skating to new heights

Brimming with confidence: Aniket Chindak took to roller skating when he was about two years old.

Belgaum: At just seven, this amazing limbo skater has accomplished a “world record” by gliding under 81 multi-utility vehicles in just 53.02 seconds.

Aniket Chindak, who performed the feat in Belgaum on Sunday, was determined to break his own record of skating under 57 multi-utility vehicles in 43 seconds. He looked confident as he glided under the 81 vehicles parked in a row, approximately a distance of 550 feet, “I could do this because of the blessings of my parents and guidance of my coach,” he told the cheering crowd. Aniket is confident of getting into the Guinness Book of Records and the Limca Book of Records soon. He said he would participate in an international roller/limbo skating competition to be held in Russia this year. Director of Sports of Authority of India Suresh Harmilapi, who had come down from New Delhi to witness the event, said that the feat could not be acknowledged officially as a world record because the Sports Authority of India was yet to accord recognition to this roller skating sport.

Aniket took to roller skating when he was just about two and later got trained at the Belgaum Roller Skating Academy.

He has always been encouraged by his parents Jyoti and Ramesh Chindak who hail from Rajasthan.
