Mexican Trapeze Family Wins 'Golden Clown' in Record-Breaking Feat

Mexican Trapeze Family Makes History, Winning 'Golden Clown' Award A Mexican family of seven trapeze artists, the Caballeros, has achieved a remarkable feat, winning the prestigious Golden Clown award at the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo. Their performance, which included three quadruple somersaults, is a testament to their dedication and skill. "It's like winning the Oscar, the Ballon d'Or, the World Cup, or the Olympics," said Rubén Junior Caballero, a member of the award-winning group, expressing the family's overwhelming emotion. Marco Antonio Caballero added, "We presented three quadruple somersaults, which is the maximum exercise in the trapeze act and in the history of the circus." This breathtaking achievement has only been accomplished by ten other people in the last 250 years. The award was presented by Prince Albert II and Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, a moment witnessed by a cheering audience singing 'Cielito Lindo'. The Caballeros' success is a source of immense pride for Mexico, and their story is an inspiration to aspiring performers worldwide.
