She is Russian’s Olympic champion Anastasia Bliznyuk. After Russia got banned, she coaches the Chinese artistic gymnastics team and help them to win gold medal for the first time.

  1. I don’t know the average height of rhythmic gymnasts as opposed to artistic gymnasts, but Anastasia is 5-8 according to Wiki, which is tall for a woman period.

  2. It’s also why Russia will never challenge at Olympic level for some time. It’s a ridiculous talent drain.

  3. Artistic =/= Rhythmic

    Chinese women have won many medals, gold included, in artistic gymnastics.

  4. I feel that more coaches will follow if the ban on Russia continues. I doubt the war will end in the near future. For instance, Eteri Tutberidze might coach in other countries.
