lilia podkopayeva’s grandmother, who introduced her to gymnastics, often took care of her while her mother was working. three days before she left for atlanta, her grandmother passed away. lilia said after that while she was standing on top of the podium, she thought of her grandmother, who wanted nothing more than to see her there.
queen lilia, love you bb <3
