Fight night with Queen Aliya and the return of Spinstafina (ft. Nabs)

What goes on in Aliyastan doesn't stay there. This post is just a collection of things found on social media.

So one of my readers who watches MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) informed me on tumblr that they saw Aliya on tv during an MMA fight. What?


Yup, there she is, fabulous as ever. And I guess it's not too far fetched, since her father is a wrestler. You can watch the entire fight here, Aliya shows up around 1:12:20 to give out a trophy. I recommend watching it just for her, because she is looking really, really beautiful. I also love how she is really nicely and formally dressed when everyone else is wearing anything from jeans and t-shirt to underwear. She's the Queen all right. And I bet she could take down those guys just with her stare, no sweat and blood needed. Maybe after she retires from gymnastics?

In other news, it looks like Nabs is either seriously training for Rio, or just trolling us. Trolling probably, she is Nabs after all.

She posted this on vk, it says "100 days until the Olympics. Just a little bit left." That combined with the hashtag "road2rio" and the Bosco shirt makes it sound like she's actually training for it. She still has her DTY, so why not. When everybody from the actual national team is in the hospital for mysterious back pain, we could end up with no one left except for Nabs. Go for it girl.

And Nabs is not the only one preparing for Rio in a surprising way. When she's not hanging out in the fight ring, Aliya has taken up pommels.



She also posted a picture of herself doing parallel bars, so I think she's going for the AA. Be scared Kohei, be very scared.

She also decided to make use out of that pretty rug they have in their dressing room and upgrade that old and boring Mustafina-turn into a double Memmel.



There are several other gymnasts currently attempting the Mustafina, so Aliya probably decided it was time to switch it up again. The Queen should always stand out from the crowd. I just wish she would bring back the Mustafina on bars....
