Zhenya-Best Trademark pivot-gif by Zoe

做上癮了, 在做2張gif XD. 第一張一樣是GP Moscow 2010 gala, 小兔寶做了一個難度很高的聯合轉體: 側轉+踹轉+後搬腿轉體. 第二張是在Irina Viner 60大壽的慶祝晚會, 這個招牌轉, 是我見過她做那麼多次, 我覺得做的最棒的一次了, 高立踵, 速度快, 還轉了四圈!

This time let’s choose your favorite clubs routines! A little explanation, 2009 and 2010 no clubs and Zhenya had 2 clubs routines in 2004, 2007 and 2008. In 2008, at the very beginning of the season, at LA Lights, she used the same music with CariPrato 2007 for her clubs routine, not the Jota Aragonesa.

For me, my favorite, 1st is 2011 Bolero, then 2008 Jota Aragonesa, the 3rd one is a bit difficult, I love 2012 Poeta, 2006 and 2004 Aeon Cup. Because Zhenya is sooo cute in 2004, my vote goes to Aeon Cup 😉

English translated by Ekaterina, many many Thanks!!! ♥

The best athlete in the history of the world Rhythmic Gymnastics after her victory at the London Olympics, where she became the only two-time Olympic champion in the sport,  by the end of her triumphant year,  unexpectedly announced that … she was leaving the sport for good. “Sobesednik” urgently contacted the champion to try and influence her decision in any way – it won’t do to simply let such young lady go. And Zhenya agreed to give it another thought!

– Who in the world suggested that you say goodbye at the zenith of your career, when you have no equals even at the horizon?
– All key decisions in my life I make myself where possible. Naturally, I discuss them with my loved ones, can draw something relevant from a talk with my coach, but nobody persuaded me, saying, Continue reading

Here’s an excerpt:

About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 260,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 5 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
