They are renown of being extremly flexibily. She is performing a split leap. Her leap is extention (past 180') and her head is back making it a ring leap. It is not an illusion - this picture is exactly real. She is a rythmic gymnast. They are renown of being extremly flexibily. She is performing a split leap.

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.
