Many are raving about this fascinating interview with her folks, former gymnasts Vera Kolesnikova and Aleksandr Komov:
VK: — She cries because of you journalists!
“Another interview? How many can there be! What do they need from me?!”
After Vika had to speak in front of the president of the country, and she couldn’t do it, she became afraid of public speaking. They asked her to speak at the recent Olympians’ ball dedicated to the Russian Olympic Committee’s 100-year anniversary. You can’t even imagine what she was like the day before!
“Why me? There are people older than me!”
I calmed her down as much as I could …
Lucky she isn’t appearing on Ellen today. That’s pressure. 🙂
SHE HATES…
VK: — injustice! For example, when she takes the heat for someone else. Well, sometimes that happens, they dress everyone down without figuring out whose fault it is.
AK: — Lies. She never lies herself. And she tells the truth even when she knows that will get her in trouble.
Wow. This is a real insight into how the family is dealing with the pressure of being an Olympic favourite.

That’s on the russiangymnasts.net official Komova website, not the viktoriakomova.ru official Komova website. 🙂
Has she clarified her real Facebook and website?
Team Russia really needs someone to coordinate communication.
