With her Olympic medal record set to fall to Michael Phelps, Sports Illustrated caught up with Larisa Latynina in Moscow. The confident queen of gymnasts gave quite the revealing interview, as did the other diva Olympic Champions who were quoted in the article. It is quite the read.
She won the 1958 world championships while four months pregnant! That's about the best illustration I've read of how the sport has changed.
