Favourite Gymnast:
Svetlana Khorkina, Russian. I got to see Svetlana compete as part of the Russian Team in the Women’s Team final in Sydney 2000

1990
I got involved in gymnastics because:
I stopped competing and wanted to stay on in the sport. It’s much more common today to see gymnasts compete until they are much older or move into another gymnastics discipline. I wish that was the case in 1990.
