Merry Christmas, and the Blessing to Be a Fan

Nothing seems more suitable for a holiday mood than a Teodora Alexandrova routine. Should you feel uncertain that Christmas miracles, or miracles in general, do happen, just watch this routine:



I have been fortunate to watch Teodora both train and perform and I always felt that she brings a unique uplifting feeling to anyone who loves gymnastics, dance, and movement in general. If there is anything that someone less talented than Teodora can learn from her, it is to love what you do at over 100% and to give it your 120%. Occasionally, someone like her comes up like a bright star on the gymnasics horizon and brings more than athleticism and elegance. They bring a miraculous sparkle of joy and warmth.

Merry Christmas, fans!
