Ludmilla Tourischeva quotes:

I personally support the type of gymnastics which does not exceed a certain amount of acrobatics and risks because then one can still say: what a lovely sport gymnastics is.

All oneâ??s feeling goes into practicing exercises, many of which are set to music. Therefore, somehow dancing with boyfriends doesnâ??t attract me.

The main thing for a gymnast is total concentration while competing. At such moments one has to put everything else behind. I know that other gymnasts can do so with a smile, but I can't. And I don't even try to.
