Svetlana Khorkina and Nastia Liukin: They proved people wrong

      So,  you know how in gymnastics, we think that gymnasts have to be short to be in the sport? Well thats not true, and to prove it, Nastia Liukin and Svetlana Khorkina were champions. They were both above 5 feet, and at first, judges, fans, and other gymnasts thought that they were too tall, but when these gymnasts started swiping the competitions, winning everything, they were proved wrong, Nastia won the all-around gold at 22 years and she was 5''6. Svetlana placed in the top five, a little less awesome than Nastia, and she won all the other competitions she entered,  besides 2000 Sydney, and 2004, Athens, at the height of 5''7. Wow! So, for those of you who thought that the wonderful sport of gymnastics was only for short people, you are wrong. Many of the greats have been tall. And thanks to Svetlana and Nastia, we now all know that!!!!
