Hanging by her teeth, Albania's Fiona Rushiti spun 72 times in 30 seconds — a world record

Some records test speed or strength. Fiona Rushiti's tests something closer to nerve. The Albanian aerial acrobat suspended herself solely by her teeth and completed 72 full 360-degree rotations in 30 seconds, in a performance in Tirana now confirmed by Guinness World Records. The spin total beats the previous record of 65, set last year, by seven full turns. Rushiti said she took on the challenge to test the limits of her own physical ability and endurance — a very Albanian answer, delivered while hanging in mid-air by a mouthpiece.
