Contortionist E.Tsatsral set the Guinness World Record for the “Longest Time To Hold The Marinelli Bend Position” for an incredible 4 minutes and 17 seconds. This remarkable record was achieved on the set of the show Rekorlar Dunyasi in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013.

Erdenebileg, who is originally from Mongolia, now lives in Las Vegas and performs with Cirque du Soleil and MSC Cruises.

The Marinelli bend is a complicated form of contortion that requires the performer to balance their entire body weight onto a bite plate. The legs fold over so that the buttocks are touching the head while the toes point out in front. It is considered a very difficult and even dangerous move.

The record was previously held by another Mongolian woman, L.Oyungerel, who set the Guinness World Record for “Longest time to hold the Marinelli bend position” for 33 seconds, breaking the old world record by 11 seconds, in Great Britain in 2008. L.Oyungerel then updated her record to 50 seconds in Italy.
