Type in "rhythmic gymnastics extreme split leap" on google images and you will see all kinds of photos like this, with the side angle. hope that answers questions for all those people who think they know it all :) Wow you guys are all really ignorant lol.

But this is a rhythmic gymnast. Yes, her head is bent back that far and the rope is NOT photoshopped. RG requires extreme flexibility with significant oversplits and bending so much that you can touch your head to your rear! Do an image search on rhythmic gymnastics and you will see this pose from several angels including many that appear "headless". Other than these poses, it is a beautiful sport where the participants make very difficult poses look effortless.

Some digital cameras take pictures from the first line on top to the last line at bottom, but if the subject is moving very fast the final picture appears deformed.

The head is actually bent down onto her chest. Perhaps she is wearing a hair piece with a similar design as that of her dress making it appear as just a part of her chest.<br/><br/>The dark piece on her outfit under her arm is simply a shadow and not a piece of hair. I find it would be impossible to bend your head backwards like that no matter how flexible you are. However laying it forward so your chin meets your chest is very possible and could give that perfectly cut off look as found in this picture. <br/><br/>The gold and darker patch of red on her costume stand out making me believe that it is a hair piece and her head is bent down.

I am correct, No? head is behind so u cannot c it, and her “missing” leg is folded (bended) towards her body so u cannot see it. I am correct, No?

This one is obviously photoshopped especially with the bad background and corny rope. Some cut out a gymnast with no head and pasted it on a cheesy grey photoshopped tile background.
