Anna Bessonova
Anna Bessonova was one of the most emotional gymnast and so that one of the most popular for the audience. She could perform both an elegant routine (Swan Lake) or a modern one (The Matrix).
Sometimes you can’t stop your feelings:

After World Championships that were held in Kiev, a few gymnasts decide to stop doing gymnastics.
Alina Maksymenko, from Ukraine, decided to become a coach. “After World Championships, I will help in Deriugina school as a coach” – said Alina.
“I will continue training, in fact I will compete until the end of the year. After this, I am not very sure yet, but probably I may only compete in national competitions. I would also like to help little gymnasts to become rhythmic gymnastics stars”.
