  • In my opinion, Lilia has got the best toe point on the history of gymnastics. While other gymnasts just crunch their toes, Lilia extended her entire leg to the tip of her toe and formed an elegant arch. She was a one of a kind. Her movements were graceful; Her body was muscular in an elegant and beautiful way very fitting to her personality. She was a "package gymnast" as everyone said and needed nothing more. She was truly a wonder to watch. Sadly, we willl never see this again.

  • O my god when I read that comment I was like OH truly amazing inspiring comment!

  • she is the most beautiful olympic champion ever. and her gymnastics is great in all areas

  • Que lindo. En la variedad esta el gusto.

  • Definitely. Beautiful comment. What a gorgeous grace and elegance that girl had. She was my childhood idol. I still can't get used to not seeing her compete anymore. Even after so many years.

  • 1:11 woooow

  • i love how shes doing don q on beam

    one of my favorite ballets

  • What a beautiful comment! God created Lilia after Nadia, and he said, "Okay, I'm only doing this one more time."

  • If you're a gymnast wuth an XX chromosome, I suggest you watch Lilia's footwork closely. And watch her hips & trunk. Just watch. And practice.

  • I am so with you, isphat. Not only does the new code steal so much of the grace from the sport, it forces a manic pace and encourages girls (guys too, but especially girls) to do tumbling tricks which are truly unsafe at a pace which guarantees that were will be more and more overuse injuries and catastrophic injuries. It's particularly brutal on taller gymnasts. I wonder how many spinal micro-fractures Nastia Liukin will have when she's 30.
