Udupi, Feb 7, 2021: Tanushree Pithrody, Class 7 student from Udupi on Saturday set a new record for the most backward body skips in a minute. The 55 backward body skips that she achieved at the St. Cecily’s Higher Primary School auditorium on Saturday gave her a place in the Golden Book of World Records.

Vaishnav Manish, the adjudicator from the Golden Book of World Records, handed over the provisional certificate.

Ms. Pithrody told reporters that she first saw a boy from Tamil Nadu perform backward body skips. After a lot of practice, she initially did 20 skips a minute. She gradually increased that number. Thanking the support of her parents and her yoga guru who encouraged her to go for this record, Tanushree said the school too has encouraged her talent.

This is Tanushree’s sixth such record – five of them in the Golden Book of World Records and one of them in the prized Guinness Book.
