LilliPod won the Gold in FX and GOLD in AA in 1996..But because the American TV was focused on the USA team, she was barely mentioned..And I so do miss the days when dance performance was every bit as important as power gymnastic tumbling..All the Eastern Block countries ladies took ballet lessons to incorporate into their routines..LilliPod was actually a performing ballet dancer in the off season...
her smile while performing is so sweet! I have seen this exercise so many times since the atlanta games and it still looks like she's just playing aroung. what a privilege to see this incredible gymnast.

It’s incredible what she is able to do at 36. Still be my favorite gymnast forever ❤️
Thanks for your video.
36 its not old at all Theres balerinas dancing at their 50'ts or more
Chusovitina it's 46 years old and she still competing
@@gonzalezaramburu5741 And Chusovitina still have a pretty good double back
@@gonzalezaramburu5741 they’ve been actively training though, while Podkapeyva just contained this through muscle memory and staying in shape.
Thank you for sharing this video! Her dance is still exquisite after all these years. ☺️
The GOAT !
Awesomeness magnified.
Loved watching her, she has the most beautiful form to her moves
love you so much my LiliPod... miss you and love you 4 ever !!! 💓😘❤
Forever champion🙇🏻♂️
