" I never thought I am sacrificing myself. When I was a little girl, I watched on TV the performance of our gymnasts and I dreamed that once I would be like them. Now that has come true and it seems natural to me. I don`t think I earned major success, I think this came as a result of a very hard work. I have never thought about retiring, because gymnastics is my way of life. I know, in the meantime, I have grown up because of gymnastics. Of course, I have bad days sometimes, anyone does, but it is important that there is here, on the team, an atmosphere of friendship between us and coaches" - Gina on gymnastics

"It will be hard to say goodbye to gymnastics. But with the revised Code of Points, its too dificult for me to learn new moves. But I hope the World Championships will be a good suvenior. I'll keep my head held high as Nadia did in her last competition." - Gina on retiring
