Limbo skating is exactly what it sounds like: the marriage of limbo, the art of "how low can you go," and roller skating (via Factinate). Limbo skaters throughout the ages have managed to skate at top speeds, with their faces mere inches from the ground, under objects like poles, cars, and more. Countless young athletes have been crowned "the best" in different categories of the sport, including West Indian teenager Shristi Dharmendra Sharma, 17, who limbo skated under 10 bars in less than two seconds — a Guinness World Record for the fastest speed (via Independent). She has also broken a record for the fastest limbo skate over 164 feet, in just over seven seconds (via Guinness World Records).
While Gagan Satish was not admitted into the Guinness Book of World Records immediately, he was promptly honored by the India Book of Records for the "Farthest Distance in Limbo Skating Under Cars" (via Daily Mail). Months later he was also named by Guinness (via Deccan Herald), but it took a lot of work to get to that point — three years and half of his life, to be exact.
