UPI – A South African gymnast broke his own Guinness World Record by performing 36 consecutive one-handed backflips.
Zama Mofokeng, 31, a self-taught gymnast from Thembisa, originally set the Guinness World Record for one-handed backflips in 2017, when he completed 24 of the acrobatic manoeuvers in a row with under three seconds in between flips.

The gymnast said he started doing flips when he was 10 years old, and had to switch to one-handed flips when he fractured his hand at the age of 13.
