Zlata, The Goddess Of Flexibility, World's Bendiest Woman

Russian-born former gymnast Zlata, 29, posed in leather and lingerie to adopt a series of poses that seem to defy every law of biology. Zlata, real name Julia Guenthel, is 5ft 8ins and can squeeze into a 50cm box. One of her favourite acts is to bend backwards at a 90 degree angle, so the back half of her hands touch her feet and she can also peer through her own legs from behind.
