The Amazing Anfisa- 11-12yo Siberian Gymnast- 20190512 Access

Her coaches describe her as a quick study, mastering complex routines like the vault and floor exercises with maturity beyond her years. In 2019, she wowed audiences with her precision on the uneven bars , earning a perfect 9.8 at the Siberia Regional Championships. This performance, weeks ahead of the May 12 event, set the stage for her national recognition. At 11-12 years old, Anfisa competed among teenagers twice her age. "She’s like a phoenix rising from the tundra," remarked one of her coaches. Her routines, a blend of Russian tradition and modern flair, often incorporated elements inspired by local folklore—swirling turns mimicking snowflakes, extensions as sharp as frozen blades.
