27-year old russian beauty, Julia Günthel aka Zlata is the world's bendiest woman. The former gymnast, who is 5ft 8in, is so flexible she can cram herself into a 50cm squared box.

Zlata can contort herself into the most extreme poses imaginable - and has broken numerous world records for her flexibility. If she wants to touch her toes she can actually do so by twisting her legs up to her head.
