1:29 Zhenya says: “It’s great that our city has now such a great center. I hope that our little gymnasts will be shining on the international level thankfully to this wonderful center with nice facilities” (Thanks Tatiana for the translation!!!)
For how long can Zhenya do a hand stand? In the video it looks like only half a second.I can do 2.3 seconds.I should be the world champion.Maybe it’s just me and maybe I’m way off base here but I believe Zhenya should work on her hand stands before the next olympics.HUUUUUUUUURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
