German Contortionist Sets Record for Picking Up Roses With Her Mouth While In a Backbend Pose

The incredible multiple-record holding German contortionist Julia “Zlata” Gunthel set another world record for the most flowers picked up with her mouth in one minute while performing a backbend position each time. Zlata was able to gather 6 roses during the allotted time while appearing on Lo Show Dei Record in Italy, although Zlata went on to break her own record while performing in China.

Zlata has gone on to better her record, accomplishing a staggering total of 11 while on the set of CCTV – Guinness World Records Special in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China last year. On the show, Zlata went head to head with Liu Teng (China) who achieved a final total of 10.
