What These Famous Olympic Athletes Are Doing Now
Larisa Latynina – Gymnastics
Before the world had Michael Phelps and his ton of gold medals, it had Larisa Latynina. Ask whichever expert you want, and they will tell you that this Russian athlete had the world on fire when it comes to being a gymnast. There is a reason she’s won eighteen gold medals of her own.
After her successful career wound down, Larisa coached the Russian gymnastics team and helped organize the majestic gymnastics portion of the infamous Moscow Games. Yet it seems this star is done with the limelight now as she’s retired herself to an estate in the more rural parts of her motherland.
