Aliya Mustafina - Desert Rose

By
I love this montage by SuperGymmie.




The first in a short series of videos to warm you up for the Olympic Games.

Unconfirmed reports from the Russian language gymnastics board suggest that Anastasia Sidorova is out with a back injury and has been replaced by Anna Dementieva. I stress that this is not yet official. Sad news for Nastia if so, and an opportunity for Anna.

    That's a nice montage of Aliya. The fans make some good montage of her, at least based on the ones I've seen.

    Hmm, I wonder if that rumor of Sidorova is true. It would be sad for her but also give Anna another chance to impress.

    I guess we will know eventually.

    If so, I'll be very happy for Anna. A. Sidorova gymastics is quite confident, yet aggressive, and yes, it's absolutely personal, but I perfer A. Dementieva's lines and execution. I hope she can manage the preparations and trials considering all she's been through.

I remember it was a 4-level building with the cafeteria on the first floor, academic classrooms on the second floor, rooms for girls on the third floor and rooms for boys on the fourth floor. There was one TV on the ground floor and the kids who stayed at school over the summer (about 20-30 kids), were able to watch the Olympics. Nadia Comaneci’s outstanding performance made us feel jealous because usually the Soviets were the unbeatable favorites. We did feel some relief with amazing performances from Nellie Kim and Ludmilla Tourischeva. Besides Ludmilla, there was a gymnast from Rostov-on-Don, Svetlana Grozdova! And, we were really thrilled to see the very little and cute Maria Fi...
