Double Twist

Gone.

I’m honestly not trying to be rude I’m just genuinely curious but do you think Paseka has ever considered trying to clean up her vaults or did she just decide a long time ago that she would devote all of her attention to maintaining difficulty and improving her landings? Either way is a valid approach I’m just wondering. Like has she ever openly discussed the way her vaults….look? 

[a-raisman]

She was trying. I remember after Olympics when she came back into the training she posted an instagram story with her doing vault and falling into the pit and she titled how “trying to work on my form unsuccessfully” something around those lines. So I’m pretty sure she knows, but if she’s successful that’s another story.

Don’t ever tell me again that the Russians get as overscored as Americans

The AU where Russians are the ones still health intact for worlds while all other gymnasts and falling off one by one? What is even going on.

Q: Official word is that you will take a 2 year break and will come back for Tokyo. Is that true? A: Yes, I have such thoughts, because I always liked Japan and I can only imagine how great the Olympics will be there, so I would really like to try there.

Other highlights:

* When Russian people were shown her picture they recognized her, also some thought she was a model.

* Favorite subject - Sports. Hardest - English. But it’s easier to dedicate more time to learn English now.

* She does not know much about bobsled, but she can understand basics when watching it.

* Alexey will be gone for 3 months starting January.

* Q: And the 2 year break you took coincidentally, have time to have a baby? A: We will see, time will tell. 

* She likes to try different make up looks before going to perform, agrees that it boosts her confidence if she looks good.

Aliya’s plans for Tokyo

“Aliya Mustafina already became the Olympic champion twice. The first time — at the games in 2012 in London, after a year of trauma from the European championship. This summer she participated in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro where she won three medals: "gold" for bars, "silver" in the team and "bronze" in individual all-round.

Now the gymnast will take a two-year break. "In gymnastics I got everything, but I will return" — Aliya says and promises to represent Russia at the next Olympic games which will take place in 2020 in Tokyo.”
