Who are or were the best acrobats in the world?
It depends how you evaluate what a good acrobat is. But good candidates could be acrobats from the Shanghai Acrobatics Troup, acro gymnastics champions (from Ukraine or Russia), or very high level gymnasts or trampolinists. A lot of it is about your criterion, but I'd definitely say it's either the Chinese or Eastern Europeans. Both are excellent acrobats.
