Victory For ‘Two Countries’! Rhythmic gymnastics: Mamun hails victory for 'two countries' Margarita Mamun, born in Moscow to a Bangladesh father and a Russian mother, gracefully captured the Rhythmic gymnastics gold in the individual all around event at the Rio Olympics and she called it a victory for two countries---Bangladesh and Russia! Congratulations Mamun for showing off your exquisite balancing and twirling skills to win the coveted gold medal! “The 20-year-old Russian goes by the nickname of 'The Bengal Tiger' but rather than knocking over her rivals with brute force, she simply left them chasing shadows as she produced four dazzling routines with the hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon to win her first global all around title.” She earned Russia a fifth successive gold in the discipline. Perhaps, it will not be out of place to mention here for record that this young lady had also represented Bangladesh as a junior before returning back to Russia with her parents. Her father, Abdullah Al Mamun, is an engineer from Bangladesh settled in Moscow and mother a former gymnast, scored 76.483 points to grab the gold ahead of her compatriot Y Kydryavtseva, who scored 75.408 points to take the silver in a tense final round. Congratulations Margarita Mamun once again for winning the gold for both of your fatherland as well as for your motherland. We are proud of you.

The athletic abilities of these young people are amazing. I just find it sad that they have not enjoyed the pleasures of a natural childhood with family and friends..... it's all about the drive to succeed, even from a very young age. I wonder if it isn't all started by over zealous parents? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I wonder if it isn't all started by over zealous parents? You seem to be correct Mrs, Joe .Most of these athletes remain busy throughout their childhood to improve the athletic skills they need to succeed! Since Margarita stayed here in this country until she was 12, she might have spent some time with her local friends together. I have added a picture of her (see Pic: 4) where she is seen with her father Abdullah Al Mamun. What a cute, loving and innocent looking girl she was at that time. Thanks for passing by and for your thoughtful responses! Best wishes.
