WASHINGTON – An Ohio high school cheerleader has a whole lot of spirit, and apparently some crazy-good balance.
and report Walsh Jesuit High School cheerleader Marie Klein set a new world record by pulling off 42 consecutive back handsprings last Friday.
The 4-foot-11 Klein performed the feat before her school’s game against the visiting St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, and said she almost passed out during the dizzying stunt.
“It was crazy,” Klein said, according to her . “I loved the way the crowd reacted. My mom was crying. It didn’t feel real at times as I did it.”
Yahoo notes the video appears to show 40 handsprings, although the school announced Klein performed 42. 草莓传媒 was afraid of contracting vertigo and did not count, but thinks either way it’s pretty cool.
