O_O is all I can say!!  Tusya & Kisa both did these crazy balances in the hallway:

It seems like a popular thing to do--here's a photo of Di Borisova doing the same!

WOW!

Back in Croatia!!

Ul and Makar are vacationing St Tropez, and the other girls are back in Croatia for training and relaxation!  My, my, the RG girls are quite the globetrotters!

Unfortunately, she seems to have injured her knee again. ;_; Get well soon, Blizia!!

Good luck to my girls in Minsk!

Today the girls headed to Minsk, Belarus for another World Cup!

Yana Kudryavsteva, Di

Unfortunately, it seems they had to wait quite a bit at the airport, so they got a little crazy/restless...

(I'm not sure I approve of these loose-fitting white shorts. I like the little red Bosco ones better!)

...and sleepy...

Nastia M looking super adorable!

And it seems Di couldn't find her passport. UH-OH!!
(Makar and Olya didn't go; for the group, it's the same team that went to Sofia.)

Ouchie!

Unfortunately, being an RG girl often results in all kinds of injuries...
