Prior to Takshvi's triumph, the title of "lowest limbo skating over 25 m" was held by Manasvi Vishal of Pune. Manasvi, who achieved the feat at the age of three and a half, captivated the world with her impressive skill and dedication to the sport. Her journey to setting the Guinness World Record began with a passion for limbo skating, culminating in a meticulously prepared attempt that saw her glide effortlessly for a distance of 25 metres while maintaining a height of only 16.5 centimetres above the ground.

In addition to Takshvi and Manasvi achievements, the limbo skating world witnessed another remarkable feat by Shrishti Dharmendra Sharma, an 18-year-old skater from India. Shrishti set a new world record in July 2023 for the "fastest time to limbo skate over 50 metres," completing the distance in a staggering 6.94 seconds. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to Shrishti's dedication and skill, as she surpassed her own previous record set in 2021.
