Berkshire's Cirque du Soleil star flips into the record books

A video shows a former British gymnast flip her way into the record books by performing 36 handsprings in less than 30 seconds.

Lucie Colebeck, who is a performer with Cirque du Soleil, set the record at the Royal Albert Hall where the world-renowned circus show is currently in residency.

Ms Colebeck, from Binfield in Berkshire, trained at Pinewood Gymnastics Club in Wokingham.

She won world and European medals during her tumbling career before retiring from the sport in 2018.
