The guest of the 42nd edition of "Talks about Gymnastics
At Margarita's own request, we decided to talk only about her path in gymnastics, not about her personal and modern life. In the five years since her Olympic victory, Margarita has not had a single interview that actually tells the whole story. We tried to fill that gap, but we're sure there's still something we've forgotten.
The filming of this episode ended at 4am. Perhaps if it weren't for that fact, we would have talked longer, because talking to Margarita can be endless!
Dear Rita, thank you for talking to us about gymnastics!
We would like to thank for help in organizing the shooting the Sports School of Olympic Reserve in Rhythmic Gymnastics of the Moscow State University of Physical Education and Sport, and personally Tatyana Gorbunova and Darya Scherbakov.
Special thanks to our partners - GYMSPORT (gymsport.ru), ART-BLESK (art-blesk.com), SOLO (www.solorussia.com/) ❤
