International Gymnast Focus: Greek Gymnast Vasiliki Millousi

   Lets Talk about Vasiliki Millousi. She was Greece's sole female qualifier in London. Vasiliki didn't compete internationally before London since Sydney 2000. A twelve years difference. Vasiliki `decided to come back in 2010, so that was 10 years retirement, and she was still amazing. Vasiliki had a quiet first year back in 2010, not going to the Worlds in the Netherlands, Vasiliki and her coach decided that she shouldn't enter any international competitions until she had a year's training. After she trained her full year, Vasiliki went to Euros in 2011 and became a finalist on her best event. Vasiliki also watched Russian Gymnast, Aliya Mustafina fall during the first rotation of the All-Around. Thats right, Vasiliki is an all-around gymnast. Just like any Euro gymnast, Vasiliki was horrified when she saw the great Aliya Mustafina go down with a torn ACL. Vasiliki was getting set to go to floor exercise when it happened, which is only two feet away. She was chalking up when see saw Aliya fall. Vasiliki was in 10th before Aliya fell, and as the competition went on, she secured a 8th place spot. Vasiliki loved her 8th place spot, making her a Greek Comeback Legend. In addition to being a balance beam finalist at Euros in 2011. She won the 2012 Olympic Test Event Beam Finals getting her into London as Greece's sole female qualifier. Her dream in London was to make it into beam finals, and hopefully medal, that dream did not make it, because of the top eight rule, Vasiliki did not compete on vault in qualifiers, making her ineligible for the all around final, so Vasiliki just competed in Subdivision 1 of the 2012 London Olympic Games. But her performance was amazing. There is no word around the gymternet about Vasiliki being retired or not, but I hope she isn't.
