Most boys his age spend their time playing with toys, running around with friends and watching TV with relatives.
But seven-year-old Tiluck Keisam, from Manipur, northeast India, spends a whopping seven hours every day practicing limbo skating.
And now, the highly-flexible youngster’s efforts have paid off – for he has set a new world record in the unusual sport.
Tiluck, who started skating only two years ago, achieved the furthest distance limbo skating under bars at the Siri Fort Sports Complex in New Delhi.
He skated an incredible 116 metres in 31.87 seconds on December 20 – smashing the previous world record of 50 metres.
And to keep things challenging, the bars he passed under were set at only 28cm high – 7cm lower than the required 35cm.
Tiluck’s record-breaking skate also featured his signature move – a U-turn half way through his run.
Despite his age, Tiluck has a gruelling daily training regime.
Every day, he wakes at 4am and has a quick breakfast.
He then practices limbo skating for three hours in the morning and four in the evening.
