Chinese contortionist shows off her world-record skills

Liu Teng, a 27-year-old contortionist, shows off her skills on Saturday, February 10, 2018. She successfully defended her Guinness World Records title in November by travelling 20 meters in a contortion roll in just 15.54 second. She beat her previous time, which had held the world record for the last four years. Contortion is a type of traditional Chinese acrobatics that can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770 BC - 221 BC). [Photo: IC]
