This video shows Deeksha, an eight-year-old gymnast from Bengaluru, who has broken three Guinness world records.

Deeksha now holds the record for 2,787 forward rolls in an hour, which is double the previous record of 1,330 rolls held by Ashrita Furman, since 2007.

She also completed 10 metres in box split position in 10.96 seconds breaking the previous record of 16.9 seconds held by Japan’s Kazumi Kawahara since 2012.

Deeksha also beat the record for the fastest 100 metres in forward rolls, covering the distance in 48.57 seconds. The previous record holder took 53 seconds to complete the distance.

These feats make her the third member in her family to hold a guinness record to their name.

Her father Girish Kumar, also known as ‘Guinness Girish’, holds five records.

While her 14-year-old sister Tejaswini holds the record for passing the longest string through her nose and pulling it out of her mouth in 30 seconds.
