Ohio Cheerleader Sets World Record for Back Handsprings [VIDEO]

Say what you will about cheerleaders, but to be good you have to be an athlete. Not convinced? Watch high school Junior Marie Klein set a world record with back handsprings.

Marie broke the previous record of 36 by performing 40 consecutive back handsprings. Amazingly, she didn't stumble around dizzy or even seem all that tired.

It's hard to tell from the video exactly how much distance she covered, but I'm guessing it was close to 80 yards. That makes this world record even more impressive.
