tall gymnasts – Alexander Shatilov

Q: There aren’t many 6 feet tall gymnasts like you. Obviously, such height can be an obstacle for many things in gymnastics. Can it be an advantage sometimes?

A: … I’ve never complained about my height. It actually helped me. I first started catching the attention of judges and fans because I stood out as so tall.

When I went to my first World Championship as a 19 years old everyone was surprised that such a tall gymnast is doing so well. I looked impressive and people remembered me. And I qualified to a final at my first Worlds, so I guess, my height has only been helping me in both gymnastics and regular life.

Q: So, when everyone got used to your height you decided to surprise people with something else and grew a beard?

Alexander Shatilov: “I’m used to breaking the stereotypes”

Iowa State Gymnastics superstitions

Johnson: “This year I’ve had to have a Red Bull before every meet. That’s the only thing really.”

Sievers: “We started a thing at the beginning of the season where you’re presenting to your team because you’re competing for the team, not for the judges or anyone else. Even in practice, I present to my team before I go, I do that in meets too, reminding myself I’m competing for them, not for anyone else.”
