A Whole New Meaning To … ‘Bendy’ – Meet Zlata [PHOTOS]

You want "bendy," I'll show you "bendy." Meet Julia Gunthel, also known as Zlata, and according to the Daily Mail she just might be the world's most flexible woman.

Her teachers began to recognize her talents when she was only 4-year- old. She began her career as a gymnast and has since moved to Germany where she now makes her living as a contortionist.

Zlata was featured on a Discovery Channel show back in 2010. The Discovery Channel had a doctor check out her amazing flexibility in a MRI machine and found that her ligaments have never hardened, which makes them very close to those of a baby.

She does have to practice her body movements every day to be able to accomplish what you see in the photos. Zlata has also earned a  Guinness World Record with the force behind her backbend by breaking 3 balloons in 12 seconds.
