"My mother took me to gymnastics when I was three years old since I did not know how to move normally. At age six, I went to a circus studio and, I liked it," Krutas told an interview.
Started contorting at the young age of six
A Bender Fan reported that the contortion fiend tried her hand at the skill of twisting and bending her body into strange and unnatural positions when she was six. Under the tutelage of an experienced contortion instructor, Krutas enhanced her flexibility.
In 2012, Krutas entered Kremenchuk’s Got Talent, a popular Ukrainian talent competition, before winning it.
Briefly News understands the contortionist previously held the Guinness World record for most balloons burst with the back, a feat she achieved in an astonishing one minute.
“I train everyday for three to four hours, and when I have a break for a week, I just want to train. I can crawl into narrow places, or when my hands are full, and I need to turn off the light, I can turn it off with my foot," Krutas revealed.
