Who's the blonde girl @ 3:51?

@EliseCharlotte It's Elena Naimushina :)

@naksuw - And sometimes you get so tired that you do not repeat the element you have done at the previous practice. You can't repeat for a day, for two days, and then the feeling disappears. What, is it difficult for you to do such gymnastics? The coach always demands: come on, come on, he is such a bad person. What other way is there? The other way is to refuse all those thoughts, all those goals you've set up for yourself and just come to the gym to do gymnastics as simply warming up.

Thanks :)

@naksuw - You could easily and calmly give up and train by yourself. I even sometimes give you such an opportunity. When you can't stand looking at me, I notice that. - I cannot by myself. - How come? Why? Why then do you sometimes answer in an inappropriate manner. You say it's too difficult. And because it is difficult you want to burst. And then, you see my face every day. In the morning, in the evening, and even on Sundays sometimes. -I don't know. Perhaps I am getting too tired.

In an interview after her accident, Elena told a magazine: " . . . a human life was worth little in comparison with the prestige of the nation; we've been taught to believe this since childhood." RIP.

A longer quote from her in the magazine is on her wikipedia page.

Yeah, she says:

It is not just about dancing Samba... You have to prove the ability to combine absolute freedom of the movement with your crazy sparking energy.

@ukrdomashka

Can you translate Klimenko and Elena's conversation after 7:42? Please :)

Does anybody know what the choreographers are telling her at the end?
