Default Russian Gymnast Interviews

So Gimnastika magazine just published their second issue that's already available free for download on the RGF website. They have many interviews with gymnasts of interest that I'd like to be able to translate.

I'd be more than happy to translate any and all of the interviews you're interested in. So in this poll, vote for the gymnasts whose interview you really want to read the most. I'll eventually do all of them, but I'll translate the three top choices right away within the following week.

The poll is multiple option.

Here are some brief synopses of each interview:

Viktoria Komova - Talks about her background, rising status, and hopes for the future.

Elena Zamolodchikova - Reflects on her career and how she is enjoying life as a judge.

Alexei Nemov - How he keeps in shape after his career.

Olga Mostepanova - Her role on developing youngsters and how they're coming along (there's nothing about her career in the article).

Ksenia Semyonova - Talks about this past year, how's been dealing with her growth, and what goals she has left to accomplish.

Yury Ryazanov - His last interview before his death.

I like Nemov best when he's quiet and shirtless, so no interview from him, please. But Mosty? OH, yeah!

Komova for youth and current perspective, Zamo for the sheer awesomeness/bridge between great Russia and worse Russia, Alexei for the 13-plus years I've wondered about if he sounds like a dumb jock in interviews, and Mostepanova for the Soviet brilliance!

One thing's for sure, this magazine is incredibly informative! I've learned so much about Russian gymnastics just in the first two issues than it took me to learn through various sources on the interwebs over the years!

Just from what I've read, it's really obvious that the entire RGF is dedicated to reviving success in both the WAG and MAG programs. There are so many articles about the need to be successful again and how to go about it.

Off-topic but Zamo looks incredibly hot and glammed up in her interview pics!

Well, post the pics. Zamo is an spectacular beauty now that she's older.
