I ended up using a cover to try and make it work. Good news is that I like it just as much or better than the original.
I considered using a couple of different gymnasts in this montage, but Elizarova worked perfectly. She was a rising star in Russia in 2004 and 2005, then won the Junior European Title in 2006, which is arguably the most prestigious junior competition. After winning it, she suffered from growth spurts and injuries, and was named alternate to the 2007 Worlds and 2008 Olympic teams. She competed a bit in 2009, and in 2010 seemed to be improving, although still a shadow of her former self. She was not named to the Russian training squad for worlds, but attended to support the Uzbek team. It was later confirmed that she had been approved to compete for Uzbekistan. She lead her new team to a historic bronze medal at the Asian Games, and finished fourth in the all around and on uneven bars.
do not own the videos! They are all from youtube. I don't own the music either.

what do you mean "suffered" from growth spurts??

[nastia2012]

@orchote I guess I meant that because of her growth spurts, she lost some skills and everything got harder. Her gymnastics certainly was never the same after 2006.

So much emotion!

Great editing!

@Athlete065 Thank you! I had a lot to work with from the asian games floor finals. I'm not sure I can remember somebody looking quite so devastated from a fall.
