Komova the new Khorkina?

That’s the tag line of an article in a Russian publication.

Click through to read a poor Google translation – New Khorkina Victoria Komova: “If you go to competitions, it was only for” gold “!

This photo is the highlight, for me.

This family pic will be getting wide circulation in the lead-ups to the Olympics.

… Viktoria does not remind me at all of Svetlana Khorkina.

I hope for her sake she is nothing like Khorkina in demeanor or “fake” dance.

I think they are using “the next Khorkina” like the USA uses the “next Mary Lou” even if the athlete body type/style is totally different. Khorkina was the last big star in Russian gymnastics.
