Putin's Pride - #5 - The Great Khorkina
posted by Tyler Duckworth on Monday, December 03, 2007
With Putin's recent "Victory" I thought I'd treat you guys out there with some gems from the ol' Soviet Union. That is to say, that, hey, sham elections aside, (oh, he's going there) these are some GREAT floor routines, all performed by our favorite former soviet gymnasts.
On a more serious note, I was told by a friend, who shall remain nameless for the time being, but is actually the Godfather to Khorkina's child. Basically, he's the Godfather of gymnastics really. Think about it. You can't be anyone- unless it involves Sveta...I digress.
So, as the story goes, The Goddess: Khorkina is thinking about running for office. Hmmmm. How'd you like Sveta serving in YOUR legislative Duma? Huh! So, only time will tell. However, if history is any consolaton, we know that Khorkina usually gets what she wants. Watch out Vladimir. She's hungry for POWER! (much like her tumbling in this piece- ZINGGGGGGGGA!)
