In Dubai, an Estonian tightrope walker walked between two skyscrapers. Jaan Roose has been walking on a rope since he was 18 years old. He is the first and only athlete to perform a double backflip on a tightrope.
The tightrope walker walked on a rope stretched at a height of 224 meters between the two skyscrapers of the Jumeirah Emirates Towers. According to the report, it seemed as if the tightrope walker was walking in the air.
Estonian Jaan Roose has become a three-time world champion in high-altitude tightrope walking.
He previously walked on a rope across the Bosphorus Strait. At that time, the rope was stretched at a height of 165 meters between the pillars of the Martyrs’ Bridge in Istanbul. It took the tightrope walker 47 minutes to cross this distance.
