Chandigarh, July 22 (NationPress) Janvi Jindal, a 17-year-old self-taught freestyle skater from Chandigarh, has etched her name in history by becoming the youngest girl to hold the most Guinness World Records in India, with five remarkable records. Additionally, Janvi is celebrated for being the youngest individual to perform Bhangra on skates, a unique achievement that earned her a spot in the India Book of Records 2021.
Janvi's journey has been fueled by her determination and creativity, as she mastered her skills without formal coaching, learning through YouTube and home setups. Her dedication has led her to earn numerous national medals and establish herself as a pioneer in combining Bhangra and Yoga on skates.
Her five extraordinary records, ratified in the July 2025 edition of Guinness World Records, include:
- Most 360-degree rotations on inline skates in 30 seconds – 27 spins
- Fastest slalom (20 cones) on two wheels – 8.85 seconds
- Most one-wheeled 360-degree spins in 30 seconds – 42 spins
- Most one-wheeled 360-degree spins in one minute – 72 spins
- Most consecutive one-wheeled 360-degree spins – 22 spins
Janvi's remarkable transformation from practicing on footpaths to achieving global records showcases her passion, discipline, and innovative spirit, making her a role model for the youth of India. She is the second person from Chandigarh, after Yuvraj Singh, to enter the Guinness World Records.
Janvi attributes her success to her parents, especially her father, Munish Jindal, who coached her. “Janvi’s training began 5-7 years ago. We couldn’t find a coach, so I learned from the internet and trained her myself. Balancing work and late-night video sessions was challenging,” he shared.
The journey has been tough for Janvi, especially after her first attempt was rejected. “But she persevered! All her records have been approved, and she has earned these awards through hard work. Perfecting her spinning move and skating for the Guinness World Records was a monumental task that took her two to three months,” her father added.
Janvi aims to inspire more children, particularly girls, to pursue skating and sports, believing that true passion must be pursued to its fullest. Her father remarked, “Janvi's dedication and sincerity towards skating propelled her to this achievement. We are immensely proud. She exemplifies that anyone can learn something positive from the internet.”
