A cheerleader from Ohio has set the world record for the maximum number of backflips, by doing 40 consecutive reverse handsprings in a row.

Marie Klein has smashed the previous record of 36 during a football game at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, the New York Daily News reported.

The 16-year-old cheerleader, who had been practicing intensely for nine-months, was caught in action on camera.

Guinness World Records officials were present to verify her 65-yards distance flip down the field.
