30 days of RG challenge:

And finally!

Day 30: Post your favorite picture of a gymnast from her childhood and life after retiring

Tamara Yerofeeva. I respect her so much for all her work before and after retirement. It’s nice she keeps her shape and is improving all the time, even after her son was born. Some of her skills are even better than in the times of competing. Circus, shows. Amazing! I wish I could visit at least one of them. I dream about her coming to Deriugina Cup again or another championship in Kyiv…

Day 29: A gymnast’s family/relationship you find really cute

Tamara, her husband Stoyan and their son Alexander. She’s my favoutite gymnast. That’s why I care about her life more than other gymnast’s. No surprise I like her family =) They are really cute! And I hope they are and will be happy together!

Photos from their wedding are very beautiful, the best wedding of a gymnast for now.

I hope it’s OK I’ve posted these two photos. They are public in the Internet and many people’ve already seen them.

Day 28: A gymnast you WANT to be the next World champion (+ A gymnast you think WILL be the next World champion)

Alina Maksymenko. I think (but I’m not sure) that my favourite Silviya Miteva will retire after this season. So, next in my line is Alina. + It would be so cool if she won in her own country! Of course, if everything is OK and she’s a part of the team at Olympics and next season tournments…

Anyway, even in Ukraine it’s possible for her to win only if all the Russians huuuuuuugely mess up, wich I doubt. If stop dreaming I think the possible winner is Daria Kondakova. Again, if everything goes right, it’ll be her time to go ahead of Kanaeva. She’s much more interesting to watch. And her routines are usually more difficult. Only in comparison. It doesn’t mean I like her. Her potential is a fact. Unfortunetely for me =)

Day 27: A gymnast you WANT to be the next Olympic champion (+ A gymnast you think WILL be the next Olympic champion)

Silviya! (Still dreaming) I know it’s impossible even if she does everything perfectly =(

No intrigue. It’ll be a Russian. Who? I think, Kanaeva. Only because Kondakova has an injury and will not be able to have a perfect shape. But I like her more than Kanaeva. I imagine all these news shouting Evgenia is the first gymnast to win 2 Olympics… buahhhh…. Boring… Let people fight!

Day 24: Favourite element(s) (+ who performs it the best?)

I like different pivots and other kinds of multiple turnings the most (I’m sorry. I don’t know all the names in English. But I hope you understand what I mean =) ). It’s a very difficult element and looks stunning when done perfectly. I like the ones by Tamara, Silviya and Melitina.

+ I love Bessonova’s and Tchachina’s split jumps and an element by Maksymenko where she turns 1000000 of times =) (something like a fuete but with straight leg). Don’t kill me for not knowing the names, please! =)

Day 23: The most elegant gymnast

Silviya Miteva. Always elegant. During the routine. Manners in life. Such a pleasure to watch her doing anything…

+ Liubov Charkashyna, Irina Tchachina, Yulia Barsukova, Elena Vitrichenko etc.

Day 22: The most expressive gymnast

Oksana Kostina! She was an actress on the carpet! Rest in peace, Oksana…

Day 21: The most beautiful gymnast

Anna Bessonova! She always looks natural and beautiful both on the carpet and in real life and doesn’t use too much make-up, which is common in RG.

It was hard to choose between her and Liubov Charkashyna… =)
