I expected her to be very serious during rehearsal but instead she was having a great time! Please someone take pity and loosely translate what they were saying in rehearsal:) Thanks in advance!
MissLilRedRooster : Khorkina’s legs are OK, but have you seen the legs on ballroom dancer Karina Smirnoff? Woman has great legs and she is very fast. Some of the best Latin dancing around.
I'm going to be so old when this happens to Mustafina of Komova that I'm not willing that day to come. I remember Svetlana in the 90's she was such a delight to watch in the Olympics because, she was truly a swan, so elegant & cute , but at the same time, you couldn't tell if she was going to fall or fuck up in her routine so it was scary, I'm glad she won gold in 2000 & it's great to see her anywhere, she is awesome, a DELIGHT
@akawhippy Well, I don't think any magazine would turn down the chance to feature an Olympic athlete, and one of the most successful ones to boot. Personally, I don't believe a flat chest has anything to do with beauty. I think the media is always going to distort people's perceptions of what is beautiful. Don't worry about your own lack of boobage. You are beautiful in your own way, and you can look to Sveta for inspiration. She may have been flat but she rocked the attitude! You can too!
@barisax25 Also, just so you know, she got pregnant right after Athens 2004 and gave birth to a healthy baby boy in July 2005. I'm also as slim as she was during her career. So her body changed just because of that. She was never fat or pudgy. But believe me. I can tell you that that will be me after having a baby: thin but with curves.
She has so much pure, raw athletic ability only surpassed by her passion for excellence. She also looks absolutely stunning with long hair!🌹 I wish this had subtitles or somebody fluent in Russian translate for us into English. Where did she finish up in the competition?
50: although I agree we do spread an awful lot of crap around the world via intense marketing, shoving our culture down people's throat haha The concept for DWTS was taken from a show in the UK...so DWTS would be the American version of that British show. Anyway, I thought they both did great!
what you mean our culture? we have no culture. maybe you think capitalism is a culture.capitalism is why we dont have a culture. culture is traditions we believe in. what do we amurkans believe in? oh yeah thats right .freedom. yeah freedom to blame obamaskayainski for everything including donald T. rump(the T. is tyrannysaurus).1

...AND SHE USED TO DO THE BB IN THESE SPIKE HIGH HEELS, THE FLOOR EXERCISE... :) DIDN'T YOU NOTICE? YOU DIDN'T??? SHE WAS ALWAYS IN THEM, SHE WAS! I ONLY WONDER HOW SHE DIDN'T PIERCE THE FLOOR BACK THEN WHEN DOING GYMNASTICS WITH THESE SPIKE HIGH HEELS OF HERS! :) AND SHE DIDN'T STUMBLE AGAINST THE UNEVEN BARS! :)
Go Svetlana! But what I don't get is that how come she did some Playboy shoots right after she retired when she had a normal body than when she was in her career when she didin't have anything?
@barisax25 Also, what I hear most about guys is that: "Girls with curves are better." How come many guys adored her despite she was super skinny? May be the myth is true: Guys do like thin girls.
@akawhippy Well, there is someone for everybody. I'm sure there are guys who are into thin girls, just like there's guys who are into curves. But there's a difference between looking thin and looking unhealthy. Svetlana in the 96 olympics was thin but she was healthy looking then. I still believe she looked scary skinny in 2004.
@imreallytiredofthis Yeah. That I bet she couldn't wait for her career to come to an end at the 2004 Olympics. She must have had said to herself: "I can't wait to be finished to with this crap! I wanna go eat something and live my own life!"

The Russians have so much passion about the arts. I wish I understood Russian.

That woman has AMAZING legs. I am infinitely jealous.

She is beautiful! I'm very happy for her!
she is talented. and always as funny
He partner looks like John Stamos! Fun to see a side of her outside of gymnastics she is so giggly!

She’s so beautiful love her
i always love khorkina!!!
OMG dwts in Russian with khorkina...now I have seen it all
Yeah they were. She looks much better. I also think having a kid helped out too, but overall definitely agree she looks much softer.
The gymnastics skills made it great

Not too bad, it's amazing that she still retained all her flexibility four years later.
She has so much pure, raw athletic ability only surpassed by her passion for excellence. She also looks absolutely stunning with long hair!🌹

Where did she finish up in the competition?
She's a natural for this type of show!
Good in gymnastics and dance i love her
Man she's beautiful
I wondered what did the judges say about her Week 1 performance? Sorry, I don't understand Russian.
Does anyone know how she finished? Did she win this season?
bravo! congratulations...your performance was similar to a vodka on the rokks in the middle of Africa
At first, I thought the girl in the middle gave them a one...

very good!

She looks so happy and healthy here! She was scary skinny in the 2004 Olympics.
Brilliant
did she win?
Красавица тут такая!
not quite salsa music energy . needs more energy in the drum attacks
that's because this is cha cha. :)

Tsarevna Hilda Maybe guys like all kinds of different women....😮
Svetlana es bonita, ella no necesita curvas.
A little stiff, but still pretty hot!
I'm a big Khorkina fan but thought she was a bit wooden. .really surprised..
better at the with short hair..and...........

Are fite Swetlana.
someone finally gave her a sandwich.
What happened to Khorkina? She looks kinda high here!
Se desprestigia, después de haber practicado un deporte de altura y elegante, poniéndose con los bailes de salón. Q pena.
Scary skinny in 2000 too.
I need to learn Russian.
Me to!!
Does anyone know how she finished? Did she win this season?
