A detailed look at Angel Rice Is a Guinness World Record Holding Power Tumbler and the Breakout Star of 'Cheer', covering key takeaways.

Angel has been open about her ambitions to represent the U.S. in the Olympic Games.

In August 2015, Angel and her mom, Tonya, made an appearance on Today. Angel was invited to break a Guinness World Record, performing 10 double full twists in less than a minute. (Spoiler: She absolutely did that.)

As she mentioned during the appearance, she wants to represent the U.S. in power tumbling competitions and beyond. As she said, she would be very happy if her sport was included in the Olympics. (Turns out the International Olympic Committee granted full recognition to cheerleading in July 2021. In other words, Angel's dreams could soon become a reality.)

Since 2013, Angel has barely missed a U.S. Elite Challenge. She also partook in the 2013 U.S. Trampoline and Tumbling Championships in Kansas City, Mo., the 2013 Stars and Stripes Cup on Daytona Beach, Fla., the 2016 U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Providence, R.I., the 2017 Winter Classic in Battle Creek, Mich., and many others.

Angel has also participated in several international competitions, including the 2013 and 2014 World Age Group Competitions held in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Daytona Beach, Fla. She also partook in the 2017 Canada Cup in Calgary, Canada, according to USA Gymnastics.
