Not all of CSKA's gymnastics heroes were present; most notably Dmitri Bilozerchev who now lives and works in the USA. Other gymnasts who trained at CSKA but never made it to the Olympics (for reasons of depth, timing and world politics) include Elena Mukhina, Olga Bicherova, Olga Chudina, and Valentin Mogilny. Their coaches and choreographers include Alexander Alexandrov, Viktor and Irina Razumovsky, Boris Orlov, Raisa Ganina and Mikhail Klimenko.
It is nice to see the athletes enjoy a lovely day, even if the weather was a bit wet and overcast. Aliya looks very happy and healthy.
With many thanks to Petr Bakulin at the Gymnastics group of VK.com for the photographs.
