Isn't Svetlana like some famous gymnast or something?

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Yah, the infamous ice queen...she always seemed so tall on the gymnastic floor even though she wasn't -- everyone else was just too short!

It's good to see her though

 

[notmanons]

Yeah,I remember her.

She was like on of my most favourite gymnasts ever. She was quite tall on the balance beam.

How tall is she?

 

[GasolineRainbow]

She is only 5"5 or 1.65. Average height for a woman but very tall for a gymnast. She is one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. Because of her height, she and her coach had to come up with new moves that would be accomodated, not hindered by her height. So even though her height made her more prone to injuries, she is one of the most creative gymnasts because of it. She has the most moves "named" after her than any other gymnast.

^ I remember the 2004 olympics, she came 2nd and she was furious because she felt that she was supposed to be the 1st but they chose Carly Patterson over favourtism.
