Mila comes to us from Russia and has an impressive resume. Mila was on the Russian Olympic Team from the late 1990’s to mid-2000’s helping her team to win the Silver Medal at the 2001 World Championships and the Bronze Medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
She was awarded the Olympic Bronze Medal on balance beam in 2004! She also competed for Russia at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing where she competed balance beam. Mila was particularly noted for her work on balance beam where she was a four-time world and European medalist, including being a champion once.
Her balance beam routines were characterized by a wide array of difficult acrobatic skills connected in immediate, unusual sequencing. We are honored to have Mila join the staff at EGA. We are confident she will help us continue to foster and develop high caliber gymnasts!
