The story of Irina Chaschina

that neck of the foot with all 2!

This video makes me cry...it's so incredible (L) Congratulations :)

Can anyone tell me what was her reason for retiring? I know she wanted to pursue another Olympics.

Thanks, for the amazing clip.
It's sad that Irina was in the shadow of Kabaeva, who was extermely overrated.
Irina's routine always had something special , she has something special about her.I respected her more after watching her interview on youtube, I understood why she looked sad at times.
judges can score the way they want, people are no fool and can tell the good gymnast from the bad one, and I'm sure many people agree that Irina is great gymnast

I totally agree with you.
It was scandalous the way in which judges many times behaved to her.
And I'm sure she would have lost her olympic gold without her bad mistake too... Kabaeva was the winner chosen by judges, since the end of he Olympic games in Sidney...

Nobody got a technical score above 8.700. If she did very well (27.300+) she could have at least gotten close to Kabaeva. Unfortunately she tangled her ribbon and it went out of bounds, but getting second is still very good.

Simply the best. Perfect gymnast, perfect montage.
