Personally,as for looks and personality,I favor the Russians more than our Americans. They wear their emotions on their sleeves and are alot more honest about how they feel.

I love her sorrowful glittery eyes. And she is a freakin fierce competitor and an awesome athlete. Why must gymnasts be judged by how big they smile? No one would ever do that to any other Olympic athlete.

he is the personification of perfection, mortals and gods are fans of her beauty and the most sad is… she belongs to the gymnastic and Woo her is impossible. So many like me (and me) will only have the hope and the dream to see her face to face and then go away.

She’s easily the best gymnast in the world right now and the only pople to rag on her for having an “Attitude” are sheep persuaded by the biased picture NBC paints against Russian competitors. She’s immensely talented and immaculately graceful. She combines the elegance of classical ballet and strength of her flawless artistic skill. We’re witnessing history with Aliya Mustafina, seeing a legend come alive.

I don’t think she looks bitchy as much as sad. She just looks so bummed out all the time. She reminds me of the girl from The Cutting Edge.

The smirk she gave when gabby messed up on the uneven bars made me want to snatch her hair out through the tv. I’m a fan of her talent but not her attitude.
