The Ultimate Aliya Mustafina Tribute  This post is dedicated to

gymnastics gold since 2000.  Ryan Pierse / Getty Images  She won
gold on the uneven bars. She also won a bronze on floor.  7. In
April of 2011, she ripped her knee apart tearing both her ACL
and MCL on vault.  8. Most athletes take years to recover, but
obviously Mustafina is not like most athletes.  9. She has that
stare.  10. It’s basically piercing into your soul right now.
14. She’s coming for your medals.  15. But in all seriousness,
it’s about elegance.  19. Also, feet are not supposed to do
