In 2005, Russian acrobat Anna Gosudareva performed with the Rodion Troupe at the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo. She became the first woman to successfully complete a quadruple somersault on the Russian bar. The troupe won the Gold Clown award for their act.

    1. Amazing doesnt do it justice, both the gymnastics and to repeat it after two bruising falls , but isn’t this the kind of thing that gets banned because of the clear risks, and also traumatising the audience ?? There’s a parent covering the face of her child btw

    2. I feel like there should be more safety precautions for this kind of stuff. She’s falling from such a high heigh!!!!

    3. That is absolutely incredible. The balance, athleticism and precision is out of this world. Amazing!

    4. 1000s of hours of training and 100s of days of pain. All for the glory of the show. You have better of paid this woman a ton for this, comrade.

    5. I love how they show the whole thing

      *do russians all clap at the same time in slow tempo?!*

    6. HorsePowerRanger on

      That first landing was scary. Major courage to get back on AND in front of an audience. Lion heart

    7. After the first two falls Im thinking this is incredibly dangerous and someone should stop this
