Speaking of gymnastics empress Khorkina, I think everyone knew it at that time.
Another nickname for him: Ice Beauty!
Russian press releases related reports about Khorkina:
Born in 1979, Khorkina, unlike many gymnasts, is taller than her peers. Excessively slender limbs are not conducive to completing many gymnastic technical movements, and many people think that he is not suitable for gymnastics.
Under the careful tuning of the coach, compared with many athletes, Khorkina made full use of her own advantages, and her performance was more elegant and feminine, so that the audience remembered him.
With hard work, Khorkina soon stood out in the World Series. Various medals were also won, and Khorkina became the most iconic female gymnast of her time.
After retiring, there are statistics that Khorkina has won a total of 57 gold medals in her entire sports career, of which 6 movements in gymnastics are named after her, which is tantamount to exceeding the value of the medal itself, but also more than any other gymnast, she is also remembered by the history of gymnastics.
After the Athens Olympics, Khorkina officially announced her retirement due to her age. Subsequently, Khorkina gave birth to a baby boy in Los Angeles, USA, and as for the child's biological father, Khorkina was also fully confidential, and even the media did not dig up detailed information. Khorkina's marriage secrets were not widely known until the Spanish media broke the news that she was married to a general who was 23 years older than herself.
Today, Khorkina is the chairman of the Youth Committee of the Russian State Duma, and although the years have left marks on her face, her temperament is still there, and finally she sincerely wishes Khorkina a better and better life in the future.
