Tatiana Gutsu....






do these photos remind you of .....


or....




Trivia:
Gymnast Tatiana Gutsu is the greatest gymnast for me...simply because in a time of great political turmoil in the USSR, economic uncertainty among the athletes of the Unified Team in the 1992 Olympics AND most of all...Shannon Miller, Kim Zmeskal and Svetlana Bouginskaya (all the top gymnasts of her time) she rose to the occasion by winning narrowly the All Around Gymnastics Gold in the 1992 women's competition. This was to be an unexpected outcome for her and the last time when the republics of the ex Soviet Union competed under one flag and dominated the Olympics....now I find it distasteful that the Olympics lack the political rivalry that so dominated the last couple of decades before the 90's period...)

Liisa,
I find you more attractive than either Madonna or Tatiana. Maybe your pictures remind me more of the sexiness of Madonna.
