Eight year old roller skating champion from Coimbatore wins appreciation from Queen Elizabeth herself.


An eight year old Dharshini, a city roller skating champion has received praise and appreciation from none other than Queen Elizabeth, the Queen of England herself.

The little Coimbatore girl, daughter of Kannan in PN Pudur has entered the Asia Book of Records by setting a record in roller skating. Dharshini has achieved the feat and roller skated for 10.5 km in straight 41 minutes and this record has been listed in the Asia Book of Records.



Dharshini, wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth along with a copy of SimpliCity's article on her achievements that was published last year.



The result was something surprising for Dharshini herself. As the Queen took her time off to write a personal letter to the Coimbatore skating champion duly signed by her, appreciating the efforts and feats of the little girl and wishing her all success in her future endeavors. Two stunning photographs of the Queen was also enclosed in the letter, as a token of appreciation.





Dharshini, who received recognition from the Queen of England has thanked the queen. Also selected as Pride of Tamilnadu, Dharshini’s avowed ambition is to take part in the Olympics and win a Gold in the roller skating category for our great nation.
