Lilia trained in a gym with no proper equipment until she moved to St Petersburg as a teen. Lilia didn’t make the NT until she was 17. At 21, she finally got an A Team assignment. At 24 Lilia went to the Olympics, won gold and is now getting ₽9,439,446 and a brand new car. 👑

lmaooo first grade of russia stan studies! lemme enroll cause im wayyy more knowledgeable on russian drama in figure skating than gymnastics

Russian gym drama is nothing in comparison with FS russian drama, so there is nothing much to say xD

Back in 2012-2013 there was a big coaching fight because the head coach Alexandrov back then and the NT coordinator Rodionenko were enemies since the 80’s, and some gymnasts (Dementyeva, Grishina) were direct victims of it. Also the girls of the 2012 quad were a little bit “rebellious” and there was the suspicion Dementyeva was bullied by the older ones because she was the favourite of Alexandrov and he was all about older gymnasts retiring. Also seems Pavlova clashed with the whole coaching staff and the Beijing team too because she blamed them for not medalling or something like that. Then at 2015 Mustafina fell out with the Rodionenkos and left Round Lake just before Worlds. That was DRAMATIC, because none knew back then if she would come back. Then there is the wedding-pregnancies chapter which is also interesting lol

I don’t have time right now, but honestly, one month of FS drama is like years of gymnastics drama lol. Nothing really scandalous tbh. Like a NBC fluff would say, they are all like a big family

Gelya wants to continue on to Paris but only if she doesn’t have to stay at a locked down Round Lake. Usually the athletes get to leave to meet friends, go shopping, go for dinner etc etc - they were not allowed for the past year and a half.

like truly not to be corny but vlada and vika have reminded me what made me love watching gymnastics so much in the first place. such a breath of fresh air. and unfortunately so hard to come by UGH they both have my whole heart

[aly126]

Vlada, when we said your routines look from another era doesn’t mean you have to bring back acro series from 1977 lol

[aly126]

Genuinely why cant Larisa have good things

[aly126]

Do you think we’ll ever get an artistic Olympic FX champion?

[aly126]

still can’t believe rebeca andrade is an olympic gold medalist after three acl tears and russia are olympic gold medalists after being russian

[aly126]
