A love letter to Aliya Mustafina, my glitter covered 17 year old Russian beauty and #1 Olympic crush. You gave the greatest bitchface the 2012 or any Olympics has ever seen. Your cold heart and obvious hatred for your teammates was a joy to witness. You were the perfect villain for Team USA’s likeable yet boring gymnastic team to defeat/get defeated by. I’m going to miss you.
