The athlete from Estonia said that he started slacklining at the age of 18. Since then, he has become a three-time world champion in this sport.

"I'm glad to be here on the ground. It's much nicer to stand on the ground than to hang on a rope as thick as a finger," the acrobat shared his impressions.

The slackliner has previously walked along a rope between the Katara Towers in Lusail, and also crossed the Bosphorus Strait at a height of 165 meters.

For reference: slacklining is a type of equilibristics that involves balancing on a special stretched tape. Slacklining differs from classic rope walking in that the rope is not stretched tightly and the equilibrist does not use balance beams like a pole - balance must be maintained only by using your arms and bending your body.
