Alina Kabaeva Ribbon Thiais 2007

[chopinwaltzes]

she sort of failed

[Solyle37]

not 2 good 4 alina but compared to most other people superb

[annavdduin]

wow *can't find the words*

[ritmicafan]

@guiy16 De verdad tio ere super pesado con eso!

[kingdomfire19]

Pero sin duda entre 1998 y el año 2000 Alina fue la revelación de la Gimnasia Rítmica, era fantástica e imbatible, tenía la medalla de oro de Sydney 2000 prácticamente asegurada, pero desaprovecho su oportunidad totalmente, ahora que Viner estaba empecinada de ver a su gimnasta consentida como campeona olímpica, encaminándola hacia Atenas 2004 moviendo influencias, pese a la suspensión de Alina en 2001 y 2002.... eso es otra cosa. La cosas ya están hechas.. pff... politiqueo clásico.. Saludos.

@guiy16 Tienes TODA la razón... Alina si quería alargar más su carrera, hubiera cuidado más su físico. Kabaeva si en 2003 ya se veía con las piernas gruesas y poco fuera de forma, ya en el 2007 (que me perdonen los fans) era un chiste. Y para mi, Atenas 2004 debió haberlo ganado Tchachina o Bessonova, por clase, por elegancia, por todo. Para el mundial del 2001 en Madrid yo creo que debió ganar Tchachina. Ni hablar de Budapest 2003.... todos sabemos que debió haber ganado Bessonova.

[kingdomfire19]

Habiendo tanto relevo en la Federeación Rusa, y Viner insistía en enviar a esta mujer a las competencias, es evidente que Alina ya el 2007 estaba totalmente fuera de forma. Era ridículo, habiendo gimnastas de podium como Kapranova, Sessina y también una Kanaeva que estaba recién surgiendo, pero Alina se sometía a estos bochornos, uff muy campeona olímpica era, pero adios al cuerpo de gimnasta, menos mal se retiró. Su mejor alumna según Irina Viner, pfff , yo creo q Kanaeva a sido la mejor.

how can they throw it in the air and catch it, they just make it look soooo easy >>

[preetyghie1213]

cute outfit! =D

[preetyghie1213]

this is not one of her best routines... but im still amazed with the fact that she managed to control the ribbon without stepping into it or getting caught up by it... specially in 0:57

[vanya0785]

@guiy16 So you are closed friends and she gave you a call to tell you this... Look, I do not think rhythmic gymnasts have these negative feelings against each other. I mean, they all want to win and might be disspointed if they do not. But I think she was actually crying because her coach most likely yelled at her. You all know Viner and she is very demanding with her gymnasts.

[apluskel]

I am just not a fan of rhythmics...I see how hard they work in practice and even the best gymnasts like this one struggle and while watching you just bite your fingers hoping they don't mess up instead of enjoying the beauty of the sport

[MsPhotoshopER]

@guiy16 dont bother watching alina if you are going to hate

no one cares about your opinon and bessonova sucks alina is better so go watch anna bessonovas rputine if you like her so much

was anna bessonova world champion? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS

i hate anna's routines with passion.

[cocobabyballerina]

she has put on some weight :/

jus sayin

[LovelyMe93]

cocobabyballerina , whatever! We are looking at her routine, not her body!

[TheDidi34]

I love Alina she's so beautiful at ribbon

You are in my heart love YOU !!!

[eulucil]

And Irina Viner never sent top gymnasts once again to Corbeil... I don't know how she can be so blind beeing such a good coach!! I mean, she has wonderful gymnasts (like Kanaeva, Tchachina...) but she prefers her Kapra-robots. Sessina didn't have event a payed seat in Beijing!! And that's not going to finish, because she already put her eye on Merkulova. So sad.

[olof789horde]

even when she made a mistake it was still amazing the best part was when she chucked it up in the air and caught it gracefully

[paulinhatrinta]

If i'm not mistaken she used this song once in a hoop routine..

by the way, the one i saw was disasterous

But i still love her..she was a legend in the sport

[5757liliya]

ox,she looks so havy!!!! and the routine doesn't match to the music so much

[yago311]

I thought she was retired

[chickinnessa]

The mistake at the beginning is actually pretty funny. :D Does anyone know the name of the music? I know it's something Spanish, but I can't find it.

[BadCandy92]

Espana Cani

[audeline1218]

ouch. clearly not one of her best routines.

[raul7193]

and why did she change rg world?

[eulucil]

because she performed really original elements back in 1998, and created a new style of gymnastics, with more technical difficulties and less music interpretation. The problem is that she didn't improve since 2000, and now we have been watching kabaeva's elements during 10 years... Besides, with the combinations code of points, she didn't pay any attention to music interpretation, so the rg world started to lack artistry. Nowadays gymnastics is very different because Alina and Viner's gymnasts

[rhythmicgymnast225]

wat place did she get???

[rhythmiclove]

I'm not sure but this routine kinna shows that shes finished you know what i mean? like shes saying i won the 2004 OG i've finished. Not saying that i don't love alina or any thing i think shes amazing shes a legend and she changed the world of rg so much with out her i don't think the world of rg would be the same now if she wasn't there every step of the way!
