Annaliese Nock, an eighth-generation circus performer, female daredevil and Sarasota native, attained a Guinness World Record on Opening Night of the 2016 Circus Sarasota. Nock, 19, is the only female in the world to do a front somersault in the Wheel of Death. At the Opening night of Circus Sarasota’s winter Production, Red, White & Bello!, Nock completed the most somersaults in one minute in the Wheel of Death. An adjudicator from Guinness World Records attended the performance to verify Annaliese met the record breaking criteria.
