Photos: Meet the World's Bendiest Woman

The world’s bendiest woman and record holder can effortlessly contort herself into the most improbable shapes.Russian-born Zlata – real name Julia Guenthel – can twist herself like a snake into the most extreme poses imaginable - and has broken numerous world records for her flexibility.


 
In these sassy new photos, the 27-year-old can be seen in a skin-tight red PVC catsuit contorted in one of her most difficult poses yet.

Zlata, who has been contorting herself since she was four years old, is also a former gymnast.

Zlata is so incredibly flexible she can cram herself into a 50cm squared box.

The  5’8 contortionist says she doesn’t watch what she eats to stay in such good shape but has to work out rigorously every day.

She said: “Doing these poses just feels very natural to me.

“Sometimes it can get a bit uncomfortable if I have to hold a pose for a long time in photo shoots.

“But I think that's like anyone who sits down for a long time - their muscles get stiff.”
