Talk about flexibility!!! Text book perfection.
I absolutely adore Sasha's spirals, but I also like Caroline Zhang's where she has her hands/arms wrapped around her free leg - kinf of like an I-spiral, except she holds her leg around her thight, not her foot. If I find a pictore, I'll post it.

I find that position to be extremely akward looking. The arms wrapped around her leg, what's the point? Just to hold up the leg? Find a prettier way to do that, there is nothing elegant or graceful or attractive about the way she does it. She is capable of hitting a lot of good positions, but that is not one of them.
She does look like she is showing off her you-know-what to the world.
