ICYMI

Anna Dementyeva is now a married woman. I wish her happiness and prosperity as she enters this new phase in her life. 

Love the hair, Anna!

So retro & gorgeous

Aliya got herself some temporary tattoos...

And also visited the Pushkin School of Gymnastics on Oct.5

A Russian language documentary on Svetlana Khorkina (starts about a third of the way in) here. 

Watch here as former Soviet gymnast, and Ukrainian sports choreographer, Natalia Karamushka, instructs a group of young gymnasts in a mix of ballet and gymnastics movements at Leonid Arkaev's gym. Here's an interview with Natalia from last year in which she explained the importance of dance in performing better on beam and floor.
