Srishti Dharmendra Sharma is no stranger to records. At just 18 years old, she has already earned a place in the Guinness World Records seven times for her extraordinary limbo skating skills. Her latest feat? Gliding under descending poles over 50 meters in just 9.59 seconds!
This accomplishment isn’t just about speed—it’s about resilience, balance, and sheer determination. But for Srishti, these challenges are nothing new. She has been setting records since 2015, when she was just 11 years old.
Among her many milestones, one stands out—Srishti is the first girl in the world to hold a Guinness record for Ice Limbo Skating. Hailing from Nagpur, her dedication and perseverance have made her a trailblazer in the sport, setting an example for young athletes across the country.
Her journey began at the tender age of four, and since then, she has never looked back. Her latest record-breaking run is yet another proof of her relentless spirit.
Completing 50 meters in 9.59 seconds, she has once again rewritten history!
Srishti’s journey isn’t just about personal milestones. She is a passionate advocate for the Save a Girl Child campaign and uses her achievements to spread awareness about gender equality.
"Every citizen should realize that a girl child is just as important as a boy child," she has stated. With every record she breaks, she reinforces this message, proving that talent knows no gender.
Behind Srishti’s success is a story of sacrifice and perseverance. Her father, Dharmendra Sharma, a driver by profession, never let financial hardships stand in the way of her dreams. When training and equipment costs became a hurdle, he took a ₹7 lakh loan, believing in his daughter’s potential.
Many doubted their journey, but Srishti proved them wrong—again and again. With each record, she didn’t just make her father proud but brought honor to India on the global stage.
Srishti’s story is more than an athletic triumph—it’s an inspiration. It proves that when parents support their children’s dreams, obstacles become stepping stones. And in Srishti’s case, those dreams don’t just take flight… they race forward on skates!
