I apologize for my looooong absence, but I have to admit that since the 2012 Olympic girls got kicked off the group team (Nazar, Blizia, and Ksyu), I have lost some interest in RG... :(
...And with the Winter Olympics in Sochi coming up, I have been totally distracted by my first great sports love--figure skating!!
So, in honor of the upcoming games, here are pics of Ksyu, Dasha D, and Karolina doing the torch relay for the Olympics! (I already posted pics of
Makar participating in the relay.) Unfortunately Zhenya couldn't run the relay in Omsk because of her pregnancy...

I think I like the 2012 Olympics gear better...what do you think?
What do you mean that (Nazar, Blizia, and Ksyu) got kicked off the group team after the 2012 olympic? They were still competing at last years competition.
ReplyDeleteYes, apparently after the World Championships in Kiev, Viner kicked the off of the group team after they failed to win. She claimed that winning gold at the Olympics went to their heads, so they developed "star disease" and didn't train as hard as they should have...
DeleteI'm not sure if that is really true, but at any rate, they are not training anymore. :(
That's too bad. They were very good. Do you have the article link of which Viner said that? I would like to read it too. Thanks!
