As much as she's won for that country, in the Olympics AND World Championships, that is not much to ask. These male gymnasts who are much older have families too.

    Why do some people believe that she must give up her dreams to be a full-time mother? She is first a woman and is a complete individual, with dreams and with goals, this was her job and training for the Olympics was what paid her debts, so why do they think that all that should be reduced so that she can dedicate herself to being a mother? No, this is not about her being negligent with her daughter, if she had a more common job, she would have to work exactly the same (or more) and none of you would be complaining, you just do not like to see women being successful other than being mothers and that is sexist.

    I see what you mean, but I don’t think “bleak” is the correct word imo. I think it really demonstrates the monotonous and the grueling hard work that is needed in order to succeed in such a competitive sport. We often see the glamour of it during competitions, but the work, the hours, and effort that goes into it is anything but. A similar analogy would be to ballerinas feet when they take off their beautiful slippers and shows the beaten down, damaged, injured feet that are beautiful, but realistic.

    I'm just happy that women's artistic gymnastics actually has more women competing. Though I loved Nadia, her triumph resulted in decades of girls being championed in the sport and with that the abuse. The Romanian, Larisa Jordache, is back competing well on each apparatus. I think specialization has helped many older athletes remain in the sport. Also, Simone Biles seems to inspire them with her continued upgrades on each apparatus. In the past, as athletes aged, routines were watered down. But now these women can see what's possible even after giving birth since Aliya is training on each apparatus.

    Alice S - I was just alluding to the idea that perhaps Aliya and Chellsie took their cues/inspiration from Oksana Chusovitina, Larisa Latynina, Leyanet Gonzalez or Suzanne Harmes who defied the odds before them. Chusovitina in particular (why I specified only her earlier), considering she competed in TWO Olympics before gymnasts like Simone Biles were even born (1992, 1996), and FIVE Olympics post-motherhood (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 2016). And this is not to discount Latynina, as older gymnasts were the standard in her day. It was the 5 Olympics between 1980 and 1996 that the average age was crazy-young, before and after that athletes’ average ages have been older by comparison.

    Such an inspiration, I can’t imagine what it would be like to exercise full time and have a little daughter to take care of all alone. Aliya is the strongest, coolest gymnast I have ever seen, and I hope to see her many more times in the future, and maybe her daughter, Alisa, can walk in her mother’s footsteps one day.

    When Aliya came onto the international scene back in 2010, she was known as “ice queen”. Even at the 2012 Olympics, she was known as a fighter, a stone queen. She was very private. So it’s nice to see her open up gradually through her Instagram and in this video - even just a bit. My favorite moment: @4:36 - she loves competing with Aly and Simone on floor, but loves the friendship too. The sportsmanship is admirable! Aliya announced her retirement last year, so hopefully she gets to see her kid more often and gets paid well as a coach on the Russian gymnastics team!

I would imagine that when she first started, she may well have made it a point off camera that he discontinue his snotty snipes.

Larissa Latynina actually became a world champion when she was 5 months pregnant. It's impressive but not unique to Aliya

Not many athletes of any time period have actually been in the prime of their fitness while pregnant. And you have Oksana and Chellsie who are older than Aliya who're still doing gymnastics while Aliya has retired. (At least for now, if she comes back, she comes back)
