Gymnastics has always been a traditional russian strength, and in recent decades it has produced a large number of outstanding gymnasts, if you talk about who is the most famous athlete? Presumably, many people will give this person's name, and she is Svetlana Khorkina. How has Khorkina, who has been saying goodbye to the field for 16 years, been doing all these years? Let's talk about this topic today.
People born after the 90s may not be impressed by this gymnast, so let's briefly review Khorkina's gymnastics career. Born on January 19, 1979 in Belgorod, Russia, Khorkina is the most successful Russian gymnast after the collapse of the Former Soviet Union, she is 1 meter 64 tall, weighs 47 kilograms, stretching, elegance, self-confidence is her style of competition, has always been known as "gymnastics ice beauty". In terms of competition results, Khorkina won the high and low bar championships in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, and won a total of 57 gold medals in various world-class gymnastics competitions, and is recognized as the most successful athlete in the history of women's gymnastics.
Khorkina is very beautiful, as bright as peach and plum, cold as frost, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, as long as she appears on the field, the major media will not hesitate to send all kinds of flowery words to praise her. In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, Khorkina was a regular in the world's major sports magazines and newspapers, and she even appeared on the cover of Playboy, which for a time caused a sensation among her fan base.
Gymnasts often have short careers, and Khorkina is no exception. In 2004, the 25-year-old Khorkina announced her retirement and began another life journey, but she did not expect to encounter many bumps along the way. Khorkina did not encounter any crisis in terms of wealth, but suffered a blow in terms of marital love. At that time, Khorkina, who had just retired, was still very young and simple, and met a handsome and funny man Shubu, Khorkina was fascinated by him at once, and soon became pregnant with his child. Khorkina asked to get married, and only then did Shubu confess that he actually had a family and that the children were already very large.
Khorkina was very sad when she learned the truth, and resolutely decided to break up, but if she suddenly gave birth to a child inexplicably, she was famous at the time, which would inevitably cause a storm of public opinion. For her own image, Khorkina approached the Russian actor Neshvili and asked Neshvili to pretend to be her husband, of course, on the condition that she pay the other party about $1 million in benefits. In this way, Khorkina lived a fake marriage day, during which she was still unforgettable for Shubu, and had been disconnected until finally she was completely desperate for Shubu, she took the initiative to break the news of her fake marriage to the media, which became the headline of Russian entertainment news for a time, and she also became the laughing stock of people.
After a variety of splits, Khorkina finally completely broke away from the shadow left by Shub, and she later associated with the Russian men's gymnastics champion Ivankov, but later broke up. In the end, Khorkina married Kochniev, the general manager of the Russian customs service, and she herself went to politics and was elected chairman of the Youth Committee of the Federal Duma, and now over 40 years old, Khorkina finally tightened her heart and lived a stable life.
