+"While working with Alina Ruppel on [July] 27th in 2009 I had the idea for this pose, and she immediately made it! So I called it "Ruppel-Backbend" and it's still the best in the world! Congratulations to those who tried to reach the same level, but all couldn't." - Gerd Rasquin\grassy2000, Ruppel family friend & contortion coach, NOT Alina's regular coach
