Over in Orlando in Florida, a man called Dinesh Sunar broke the record for the most blindfolded standing backwards somersaults in one minute.

He achieved a whopping 21 somersaults in the 60 seconds!

Dinesh grew up in a remote community with no transport, buildings, facilities and clubs near him so he says this meant he had to teach himself all of his skills by a river near him.
