Russian former gymnast, Alina Kabaeva, became a star in 1998 since she won Gold medal at Goodwill Games in New York. Her career was unstoppable: 15 gold medals at European Championships, 9 World Championships gold medals and Olympic Champion in Athens 2004.
She is one of the most successful gymnast in the history of Rhythmic Gymnastics. Nowadays, Alina is member of the Public Chamber of Russia.
These pictures were taken in 2001/2002 season, which was not easy for Alina. Kabaeva tested positive to a banned diuretic, Furosemide. She was disqualified for World Championships Madrid and Goodwill Games in 2001. In 2002 Alina could compete again. She became European Champion.
Alexandra Merkulova and Alina Kabaeva
Youth Olympic Games champion and silver medallist in all-around European Championships, Alexandra Merkulova from Russia announces her retirament. After her Gala show in Moscow Grand Prix 2015 she decided to stop doing gymnastics.
“Alina is my greatest idol since childhood. But I have never tried to imitate her. People say that my smile is similar to hers. I think that for both of us, to smile during the performance is quite natural, because we have a great pleasure during the performance.”
Her international debut was in 2008, but her top year was 2010, where she got gold at Youth Olympic Games. She was also one of the favorites for fighting for a medal in London Olympic Games, but she was replaced by Daria Dmitrieva due to Sasha’s foot injury.
In 2013 season, Merkulova returned to competition where she ranked 4th at Moscow GP. She won gold medal at International Trophy Ciutat de Barcelona and silver medal at Summer Universiade. This was not the best season for Aleksandra: she sprained her ankle during World Cup Lisbon and she couldn’t stop crying during the tranings. After Grand Prix Brno,she got injured again.
Irina Viner-Usmanova decided that Merkulova was not going to be part of the Russian team. Alexandra finished 8th at Russian Championships All-Around
