5 Favorite Routines from the Ukraine

I thought I'd share 5 routines that I really love from gymnasts form the Ukraine. You may have seen them and forgotten some!

5. This routine would be lovely, just take away the clubs; they are in her way of being absolutely beautiful:



Too bad we could not watch Daria Kushnerova more as an individual gymnast.

4. With clubs, but much, much riskier:



I have other Vitrichenko routines that I have enjoyed but this one is my favorite.

3. An old routine, from more than 20 years ago, which I think is excellent, except for the jumps:



2.As for this routine, only about half a million people have seen it, and maybe more need to see it:



1.Finally, my favorite routine by a gymnast from the Ukraine, of all times:

White Fragments, with a Fire Escape

Fairy-tale Mamun Flies in New Routine

I really like Margarita Mamun's new ribbon routine. She obviously has a lot of "cleaning up" to do but this routine has difficulty, and expression. And a red ribbon looks strong and elegant at the same time.



I would really like to see better pivots from her and I am looking forward to a more polished version of this jewel of an exercise! Keep it up, Rita!
