Svetlana Khorkina - gymnastic Diva

[Glamourina]

am i the only one who did not find her the least bit attractive? she reminds me of an ostrich; i kept waiting for her to stick her face in the sand or something. she's way too skinny and i think her gymnastic ability is highly overrated. she comes off as an absolute biotch and that takes further from her less-than-stellar looks, imo.

ill be sure to tell her that, and maybe when you see her, you tell her it too. (like you will, yeah right)

Glamourina, but you come off as a "very nice" person... Don't b*tch about bitching, if you're a b*tch yourself, ha!

Svetlana models too!

I think she's an amazing person! A legend in gymnastics! She's very bold, honest and talented!
What a woman!

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!

love her..such a diva. it made her more interesting to watch than the other girls. ^ the video is a fluff piece Athens 04 Olympics.

she is retired right? that sux but i cant wait for Beijing Olympics, i wish i could go there to watch.

btw the song is E.S. Posthumus "Ebla"

oh I could never watch gymnastics until I saw her. the others are mostly just little robots, but she has a lot of grace, a great ability of interpretation, of putting feelings into every move. She doesn´t just do a figure physically, but with her heart open as well.

 

[honeyisle]

She looks nothing like Kate Moss.

 

[Nimue]

I LOVE her, she and Dominique Moceanu were my all time favorite gymnasts. I was so sad when Svetlana didn't win the gold in her last Olympics, she definitely deserved it.
