She has the talent and the skills to do it, but it will come down to physical health and especially mental stability. I hope she does it!

ReplyDeleteI hope she wins the Gold in Rio!! She is truly, the best gymnast in the entire world. Yes, I know Simone is great, but I'm rooting for Viktoria!
ReplyDeleteKomova has the talent sadly I don't think she has the mental strength to back it up. What the Americans do so well like what the Soviets did back in the day was hit. As it currently stands Komova cant do a single beam routine without wobbles and major breaks.
ReplyDeleteshe has it all
