[@RafaelCaver]

It’s really nice to watch these interviews, specially about them, cause many people criticize them without knowing them just because they don’t like their gymnast or for the simple fact that they’re Russian. They are so adorable.🖤🙌🏻

[@HelloKitty-kb7ji]

Leo Vertty whybdo you think ppl dislike them for merely being Russian?

[@RafaelCaver]

Hello Kitty Have you ever seen the comments about them? It’s always the same. I’m in a lot of RG groups on Fb, I’ve been in a lot of chat groups and it’s always the same. There are a lot of gymnasts gymnasts with mistakes in theirs routines and nobody says anything about it but if a Russian makes a mistake... Trust me, I’ve seen a lot of comments and people always say 'they are Russians’, that makes me think that they criticize them just because ‘they are russians’. So, is not only what I think but what I see.

[@betiona1507]

People hate those who always win, and say that the Russians receive support from the judges. That is all bullshit, anyone with 2 eyes can see the difference between the Averina twins and the rest. Even Ekaterina and Soldatova are better than gymnasts from other countries. Russia rules

[@overgrownkudzu]

if somebody constantly wins people get suspicious. i don't think it's fair in this case, in russia RG is much more popular than in other places so it makes sense that they have the best athletes. the only one on the level of the russians is linoy ashram right now, really.

[@karimaelrh8216]

Thank you for this interview with these amazing athletes devoted to such a brilliant sport that sadly does not get enough coverage outside of eastern Europe. Appreciated!

[@dijanagligorov8656]

Well that’s because the northern countries can’t do it. They don’t stand a chance compared to these girls because they genetically don’t have the talent.

[@robertzsombok7661]

The twins are great but I miss Yana Kudryavtseva who in all aspects was something beyond anybody else in gymnastics.

[@betiona1507]

Yana has a place in my heart, I love her and she will always be an angel with iron wings. But my Averina girls are also incredible, and it is incredible that twins are top in the most beautiful sport/art that exists. I hope to see they in Tokyo and win gold and silver.

​@@ahzerlumli The Olympics were politicized in some way. I remember Colombian boxer Yuberjen Martinez hit his Japanese rival so hard that the latter came out almost knocked out and in a wheelchair.

[@michaelpaul7271]

the one with cute features (the nose is more curvy, the chin also) is arina while the one with more mature facial features is dina. arina has a slightly higher voice than dina. arina appeared to be anxious sometimes in front of the audience while dina is confident. arina is seldom with their trainor while dina has always someone sit beside her when the score is shown. the d score of arina is often times lower than dinas.

[@dayprintes]

OMG, My Soldatova won't be at the Olympics 😭😭😭. My heart is broken. Of course I hope the Averinas delivery it.

[@margaritanoir]

Is it certain? I heard there's still a chance that she might be.

[@sevenamc539]

margaritanoir There is a chance of course, but either one the twins gets seriously injured (hope not, of course) or Soldatova shows during the whole year that she can be what Viner wants her to be, and that she can be precise and have stability! 😇

[@margaritanoir]

@@sevenamc539 I think there's a good chance we might see her since she's already been through one Olympic cycle and Viner wouldn't support her this far if she didn't want her. However, it's true that whoever suggested/supported the current CoP was benefiting the twins. I like the twins but I feel like it was super unfair to gymnasts like Soldatova and the retired Rizatdinova who have an incredible body difficulty. I also think Yana should have been allowed to continue for a 2nd Olympics so that we'd have a more balanced "battle" between Soldatova and Yana and the Averina twins. It must be really hard for Sasha to always be the 3rd person- even Rita and Yana were like sisters to each other!

[@sevenamc539]

margaritanoir i agree with you! but i think Sasha didn’t step up when she had to, thinking she was going to have her place secured. In 2017 the twins still weren’t that big phenomenon, and Sasha really was the favorite but she couldn’t show it. And I also agree that it must be hard for Sasha because she has not her half in the NT, like Rita and Yana or the twins!
