People speechless after 'world's most flexible girl' shows how many splits she can do in one minute

People have been left in awe over the skills displayed by British teenager Liberty Barros

Known as the 'world's most flexible girl', a teenager has left people with their jaws on the floor by showing everyone the number of splits she can do in a minute.

Liberty Barros holds the unofficial title proudly, setting a new precedent for what it takes to be considered flexible at all.

The 16-year-old Brit took part in Spain's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent, and is already featured in the Guinness Book of Records after setting a flexibility world record previously.

The world record was for the highest number of repetitions of the most flexible backhand movement in the world, which has been called the 'Liberty Low Down'.

It left the public in awe of her skills, but she has gone viral more recently for something she showed in a video on the Guinness World Records official Instagram page.

In the clip, she is seen setting a world record for the most number of splits done within a single minute.

The video was captioned: "Most splits in one minute. 42 by Liberty Barros."

It may look extremely painful to a lot of us, but it's nothing for contortionist Liberty, who breezed through it with a smile.

Social media users couldn't believe how effortless it looked for the teenager, sharing their opinions in the comments section.

One user said: "That cannot be comfortable"

And another commented: "I'm not exactly sure about female pain receptors in that area, but watching this was painful as a guy."

Liberty's father, Raam Barros, has praised the gymnastics club that Liberty trained at while growing up - Spiral.

He said that it was crucial in helping his daughter develop the skills necessary to succeed in gymnastics.

"Around Peterborough and Cambridge it's one of the best places in the UK for gymnastics," Raam said.

The owner of Spiral and ex-Olympic gymnast, Katherine Everett, was praised by Raam for letting Liberty train and film her performance with the Spain's Got Talent team within the club's gym.

He also said that he has found this particular record to 'be particularly hard on the body', noting that most people struggle to complete a full squat, let alone the splits.

Liberty has made more appearances than the aforementioned two though, becoming a gymnastics prodigy after garnering millions of views across TV and social media.

Raam explained in the past: "She's very focussed on being better, not just in flexibility, but in her studies, it's quite peculiar.

"From our perspective there was a massive lockdown, where she didn’t see anyone, then the next thing is she’s meeting up at a YouTuber meet surrounded by lots of screaming people in Birmingham."
