i'm stunned to see a Svetlana thread on tfs!!!

she is one of my heros so i'm going to revive the thread a bit.
(i'm afraid that some of my pictures won't be terribly fashion related- sveta is of course mainly a gymnast after all)
I find her just so gorgeous and elegant, she brought something special to the sport of Gymnastics- glamour, drama and elegance. Now that she's retired, we only have little "pocket rockets" with tumbling tricks.
Svetlana made all her routines a joy to watch, like a mesmerising dance. She had artistry and finesse.
It seems she's not popular with some Americans

- citing her Diva tendencies and competitiveness.
I myself see this quite adorable (Snejana fans will get me)- hardly any other gymnasts have such a facinating personality.
Svetlana is also known as the Queen Khorkina, Queen of Bars or simply- The Queen. She is the most successful gymnast to date, world champion many times over and with 8 gymnastic skills named after her. ( most olympians are lucky to get 1 or 2)
- i think she looks like kate moss and in her youth looked quite Natalia Vodianova ish.

Either way there are no other olympians quite as beautiful as dear Sveta is!
