i think thats the most elegant, effortless rhythmic routine ive ever seen

[@betiona1507]

True!! She moves as if her body does not weigh, as if she had wings.

[@rhythmicmusicswap4173]

the fluidity and smoothness is incredible thanks to karpushenko genius's and Yana's talent

Yes, I love karpushenko style!

Very well said!

[@dominicweber]

One of the best performances at the Olympics ever. Utter perfection.

[@booyah2u296]

This has to be my favourite ball routine ever. She moved the ball so exquisitely with the perfect choice of music. Elegance and charisma was on display in this routine by Yana.

Yana and Mozart. The perfect match😍😍

[@nowaynoway915]

When she spun that ball on her thumb I screamed 😂😂. That was incredible!

[@lf9286]

Check her 2014 ball routine. The ball spinning skill was more difficult and gorgeous.

[@e.i.3077]

I feel sorry for all the future fans who will only know of the Olympic Champions and never hear of Yana. That cursed clubs routine was a costly yet minor stain in what was otherwise a stellar career. She dominated the field and every apparatus like no other in her generation but the ball is perhaps where it is shown more clearly. While other gymnasts may perform more difficult skills, none has ever made the ball look like a magnetic extension of their body like she has. Not Kabaeva, not Kanaeva, not Mamun and not the Averinas. Only Yana.

[@rhythmicmusicswap4173]

If kanaeva is the ultimate queen of the ribbon, Yana is of the ball

[@betiona1507]

I have to agree with this. Kanaeva was the ribbon queen. Dina Averina is impressive with clubs. And Yana is the queen of hair. Anyway, they are all great with all 4 elements, I mean, Yana was also a wonder with the ribbon, hoop and the clubs and Dina is a wonder with the ribbon and the hoop.

The queen without crown 🥺 but she always is gonna be a queen 👸🏼 to me, what a incredible gymnast.

[@АленаСмышляева-т4э]

Слезы наворачиваются, когда понимаешь, что это последнее её выступление, и что мы потеряли совершенство и душу в художественной гимнастике. Столько самодисциплины, смирения, подчинения эстетике, плавности и стремления к мечте!

[@PavelMy]

лучше порадоваться за нее, чем нас жалеть.

[@pablovallejo199]

Pues si. Se ha perdido el alma en la rítmica. Los códigos de puntuación son en parte responsables de esto, y ni hablemos de las sanciones a la Federación Rusa. No volveremos a ver rutinas de esta calidad estética e interpretativa por mucho tiempo

[@elhamyounesi9542]

I first fell in love with Yana when she did her routine with Chopin nocturne but we don’t have rhythmic gymnastics in my country so I never got the chance to do it so instead I majored in music so I can play gracefully for gymnasts like her :) at least I somehow participated in rhythmic gymnastics:) thank you Yana ♥️

[@tszkwanwong3598]

Yana's ball performances will forever be my favorite.

Yana y Evgenya Kanaeva manejaban la pelota con tal maestría que la hacian parecer una perla de mar y ellas unas sirenas. Dos reinas de la rítmica, poesía en el tapiz.

Such a beautiful and impressive routine. I love when she holds up her leg and spins the ball

Wow!! Since watching this my expectations have gotten high!! I've yet to see anyone since then have a more developed n flowing skill as she has!! I don't believe anyone is out there who can match her..... I'll wait tho lol

[@eunaekim9216]

As someone who learned the basics of the use of the ribbon as a child, I am still more impressed by people who use the ball or the Indian club!

[@betiona1507]

Yana, my Yana, the best ball routine of all time, fine, elegant and subtle movements, I will never forget this routine.

[@lf9286]

"La Bohème" was better in my opinion. I think Yana got injured here and thus gave up her "spinning ball on the tip of the finger while doing front walkover" skill.

[@jardelrodrigues6808]

her ball and mamun's ribbon are already classic routines

[@mollylewis6617]

I used to be a County winner as a kid but soon became a ballet dancer and I still find rhythmic gymnastics so much better to watch than ballet

Yana Kudryavteseva, nacida el 30 de Septiembre de 1997 en Moscú Rusia. Es una de las cuatro gimnastas rítmicas que ha sido 3 veces campeona mundial en el concurso general (también lo fueron María Gigova, María Petrova y Yevguéniya Kanáyeva), siendo además la gimnasta más joven que ha ganado el título mundial en la general (a los 15 años de edad). En el gimnasio era conocida con el apodo de Estatuilla de Cristal y los fans la llamaban el Ángel con las Alas de Hierro.
