First time she displayed her extraordinary flexibility was at a physical training lesson when she was 4. After that, she entered a circus school where she continued to develop her talent.

The reason for her exceptional abilities is a rare disease which makes her tendons flexible.

At age 14 she performed at her first show and now, when she is 25, she travels around the world and her flexibility is her means of making a living.

She’s 175.76 cm tall and her weight is 54 kg. She say that she has to stick to a special diet and train for at least 2 hours a day to be in good shape.

She is happy to have such a profession and says that it is always interesting to make up new tricks and costumes.










She’s considered one of the most extreme acrobats in the world. Now, she’s preparing for her world-tour.

‘Keep refrigerated’! This girl may fit into a 50 square centimeter box!

This is one of her favorite tricks. She says that she sees nothing special in touching her feet with her hands like this.

Sometimes, like during a long photo session, she feels muscle ache and compares it with what a regular person feels when he/she has been sitting in the same position for quite a long time.

She can bend at an angle of 90 degrees!

Zlata performs her flexibility in London. Isn’t she a snake-woman?
