But you have to pay now? That's such a pity!

oh thats a cool site. how did she get so flexible like that? do people get born like that or do they stretch and start doin the splits and stuff when they 4 or something?

It's a combination of both. Of course it helps to have natural flexibility, but if you stretch enough, even if you start now, you can see results like that in a year, 6 months maybe.

in Irina's case, she has some natural flexibility for sure.

oh really? so if i start stretching right now then i will be able to be flexible like that? i can do the splits, almost a stratle split, and lots of other things but how does she bend her back like that? it looks like its bending in half or something lol.

I can't promise you anything, but yes, it is possible.

Obviously you need to work on your back flexibility to get like that.

Check out the stretching forum for some tips, it's at:

Dance > Advice > Stretching

It's really helpful and full of motivation.

hey thanks! i went to the advice on stretching page and all the tips were helpful! i wanna work on my back flexibility, my arch, and my oversplits! man i really hope i improve! should i stretch everydaY? and for how long do i hold a certain stretch? gosh thanks so much youve been a big help!

First of all, no offence AcRoKiD22, but why does the title say: ""Look @ her Ribs?" My Ribs do that too when I stretch. I don't understand what is wrong with her Ribs?

And, I can do that too & I take a lot of offence, when people say "Ew, That's disturbing, Gross, Freaky" ect. It isn't any of those things. It takes A LOT of hard work. If you have an Over Split, then you can probablly do that too. Some people need there extreme level of Flexibility for the sport there in. Like, Irina is a Rhythmic Gymnast. I wish ever 1 could just post comments that were nice to others. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

Sorry to sound bratty, but the constant "Ew" replies are starting to bother me.

yeah i agree with u, and it didnt sound bratty at all you must be flexible if u can do that, im working on my flexibility! im gonna go back into gymnastics because people on here have inspired me to do it again! i did it when i was little until i was 10, and then thats when i got into hiphop. but anyways that would be awsome if i could improve my flexibility! im really gonna try hard. keep up the good work everyone

I was just directing attention to the fact that you can see her ribs....no big deal!

Also, I get comments like that when I do oversplits and stuff like that, It hurts my feelings too. Maybe some people aren't used to seeing people like Irina, but I am.

Just wanted to clear that up with everyone

AcRoKiD22-That is fine. I just thought you were saying it like "look at her ribs she is too skinny" and other stuff other people have said.

its REALLY NOT THAT BAD!!! sorry i just its frustrating!!! at school i play tennis and we were stretching once and usually when i streat i close my eyes and think of peaceful places (it was also our first practice(at school)) and i opend my eyes at one point only to find A TON of ppl staring at me some with the "ewww" faces and it just BOTHERS THE CRAP OUTA me so please im not trying to rain on everyone here but please some things are better left unsaid. oh yeah i know you didnt mean anything by it but i thought id say it anyway for someone who did...my ribs show up even when im not streatching, and the funny part is i eat like a cow!!! lol well i think its funny lol hey yall guys hummor me go stand on your head and eat an apple!! lol jk my friend says that all the time he's like "hey Karen!" and im like " hey what?!?!" and then he's like "hummor me, go stand on your head and eat an apple!" and im like "Kyle...NO!" one of these days im going to bring and apple to skool and when he asks me that ill actually do it lol oh yea sorry this is so long

hey thats kool! lol your really funny. are you in any gymnastic events or dance at all?

This pic is a bit harsh. She looks so young and malnurished. That's not healthy.

thank you I mean how is this picture normal?????? and I think everyone would aggree with me about the one post saying that the postion she is in is actually attractive looking. Even though she denies saying it people need to respect what people say becuase everyone here seems to think we see this stuff all the time when some of us don't see this everyday like everyone else you know what I mean?.

I think its perfectly normal. i mean if u dont see that kinda stuff everyday, its not like its a bad thing to be flexible like that, its the sport shes in. and so what if she looks young? she cant help it, and theres nothing wrong with that. im not trying to be rude but im just posting what i think and i do respect everyones opinion on this pic.

I'm sorry but I just can't agree that it's normal you know what I mean.

I would just ike to say that Irina Kazakova (the girl in the picture) isn't that young, she's 16 now. (I'm not saying that 16 is old but its not like she's 5 or anything like that.) Obviously, if you don't see things like this every day, its gonna creep you out, and that ok. But, if you do rythmic gymnastics and stretch a lot, you will see this kinda thing and just accept it. Also, about her ribs sticking out, where are your ribs supposed to go when your stretching like that? It's not like she has a hidden pocket to hide her ribs inside when she's stretching! Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but you don't need to fight about it!

~*~June~*~

yes, perfectly said

I'm not trying to be mean guyz like you said everyones entiteld to there opinion I'm not trying to say that you can't so I mean it is a tad bit spooky but well maybe it's just where the camera was placed who knows.... right?.
