 | | Yelena Shushunova, a student at the Leningrad Institute of Physical Education, 1985 all-round world and European champion, 1986 World Cup winner, 1987 all-round national champion and three-time winner of the USSR Cup: No matter how much people criticize modern gymnastics for its complexity, overabundance of tricks and loss of lyricism, I can't agree with that. |
 | | During the 1988 national championships in Chelyabinsk, Zaporozhye schoolgirl Olga Strazheva, after a series of setbacks, once again surprised everyone with the stability and completeness of her routine, managing to outdo me in the overall scoring. |
 | | Muscovite Yelena Shevchenko too was lovely, playful and airy, creating charming combinations. |
