Vinoth successfully set the records for most hops while spinning a hula hoop on the ankle in 1 minute, 110; most hula hoop rotations around knees while in a dancer pose in 30 seconds, 62; and most hula hoop rotations around the knees on inline skates in 30 seconds, 76.

"Everyone is so happy for her at such a young age, even her grandparents," mother Kadambari Vinoth told CBC News. "She's really fast and she can control it really well."
