The Ukrainian girls are often considered the artistic successors to the Soviets; it’s easy to appreciate their work because it’s just so…Soviet.

The last World medal for the Ukrainian ladies was Krasnyanska’s gold in 2006 Aarhus, in the balance beam event finals. But if they medal in Beijing, gymnastics snobs will be weeping with love and happiness in front of their televisions.

Ukrainian Team announced – difficulty plus execution
