When Leilani Franco (From UK/Philippines) was 19, she went to the National Circus School of Canada where she learned to enhance her flexibility and contortion tricks. She already holds the world record title for the fastest contortion roll (20 meters in 17.47 sec) and the most full-body revolutions while in the chest-stand position in one minute with 25. On March 11, 2013, she broke another record for the world’s fastest back-bend walk, travelling a distance of 20 meters in only 10.5 seconds.
