Upside Down Wall Oversplit
Upside Down Wall Oversplit — one of the most extremal split stunt. There is a lot of variations on how to perform this element, it is can be back bending (like on the pic) or front-bending where chest against the leg, also important part is various artistical hands position.
The light studio done simple but quite creative: there is one softbox on the top and led strip on the background bottom. That makes the stunt looks more impressive by the accentuation of elegant silhouette lines.
This posture was inspired by #ShuSiyao 舒思瑶 @ssy_yaoyao, she is a group rhythmic gymnast and champ. In 2014 Siyao posted a photo where she performed the stunt and the image became very popular in social media, got title 新版一字马女神 (New version of #SplitGoddess). Original photo of Siyao's stunt “一字马” https://www.instagram.com/p/qEDKhDFDwu/ were taken by teammate Bao Yuqing 鲍雨晴 @bao_yuqing in 2014 at the corridor of the Chinese National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team apartment 中国艺术体操队公寓走廊. So, that posture should be called "Upside down wall oversplit in ShuSiyao style".
