Better known as Zlata, this back-bending and mind-blowing contortionist is widely considered to be the world’s most flexible woman. She has been featured in the media for her specific talent: She can bend equally backward and forward, which is a rare skill (even within the contortionist community). So, just how bendy is this amazing performer? See her photos, and more of her story, below.
