福克斯新闻 瓦伦达挑战用牙齿将自己悬在亚加拉瀑布之上

Nik Wallenda is known for being the first person to walk a tightrope¹ directly over Niagara Falls. Now, his wife, Erendira, has her own record at the waterfalls.

尼克·瓦伦达是第一个直接在尼亚加拉瀑布上走钢索的人。现在，他的妻子，埃伦迪拉，在这座瀑布上也有了自己的记录。

She successfully hung from a hoop² suspended by a helicopter... by her teeth... 300 feet above the raging waters: "It felt amazing. It was a little more windy than I expected it to be, but like I said before I just had to put myself back to my backyard and training and I felt good enough to where I was able to hang by my teeth.

她成功地借助一端吊在直升机上，一端系在自己牙齿上的呼啦圈把自己吊在了瀑布上空……而下方300英尺的地方就是波涛汹涌的水流：

“感觉非常的不可思议。风比我想象的要大一些，但就像我之前说的，在那之前我必须回到我的后院进行训练,直到感觉足够好，足够我能用牙齿把我自己吊起来为止。”

She even got the chance to do some acrobatic tricks and hung upside down by her toes. The stunt³ was coordinated⁴ to commemorate⁵ the fifth anniversary of Nik's original 1800 foot crossing over the Falls.

她甚至还能抽身表演一些杂技特技以及用脚把自己倒挂起来。这次特技表演是为了纪念尼克首次挑战在这座瀑布上空1800英尺的高空通过瀑布的五周年这一特殊时刻。
