>>> there are a lot of things that make america an exceptional nation, and cheerleading is one of them. it's just not something we have in england, probably because of all the rain. so it's unlikely that anyone in the uk would ever dream of attempting what 16-year-old miranda ferguson of dallas has just pulled off. a superlative series of 35 field.utive hand springs along yes, an incredible feat that's now earned her a place in the guinness book of records as the best back flipper on the planet. so warmest congratulations to you, miranda , but i have to warn you that with four weeks until the presidential election, there's every possibility that your record could soon be broken. yes, believe it or not, there's one 65-year-old man who may even be more flexible than you in the battle for the world's number one flip-flopper.

>> i'm extremely excite nd and very relieved. he was really nervous but it feels really good to be done.
