In other news, last year on America's Got Talent, a Mumbai-based dance group called V Unbeatable made it to the finals. They finished in the fourth position. However, they returned for The Champions 2 and impressed the judges, Howie Mandel, Alesha Dixon, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell so much so that they gave the V Unbeatbales a standing ovation. They had performed an acrobatic routine with a more complex set of stunts.

Not only that, but the judges also pressed the Golden Buzzer for the group sending them directly to the finals. In the finals, they performed various kinds of stunts on aerial silk, rolling tires and bicycles. One member even flipped on a bicycle held high. The V Unbeatbales won The Champions 2.
