Watch: Eight-year old limbo skating sensation Tiluck Keisam sets Guinness World Record
8-year-old limbo skating sensation Tiluck Keisam has broken his own record in the Guinness World Record by skating 145 metres or 475 ft and 7 inches, beneath poles just 30 cm high on May 3. Earlier, Tiluck had created the record in December 2015 by skating a distance of 116 metres.
Keisam, who hails from Manipur, spends a staggering seven hours every day practicing limbo skating. He got into the sport only three years ago, and came to the limelight by smashing a previous record of 50 meters - and even set his bars at 7cm lower than required 35cm and skated 116 meters in 31.87 seconds. His skate also featured his signature move - aĀ U-turn, half way through his run.
This time, he took the challenge to even further heights as he skated 145 meters to break his own record. Keisam, who wakes at 4 am every day to practice, has set his eyes on winning an Olympic medal.
