 In
European championships competition, Zaripova
was third place all-around (juniors) in '91; third all-around, first
with ball and clubs, and third with hoop and ribbon in '94; first
with clubs in '96; and eighth with clubs in '98.
She also placed first all-around at the '94 Goodwill
Games and fourth all-around at the '96 Olympics.
After a brief comeback in 1999, Zaripova
retired again. She has worked as a model and has performed in gymnastics
exhibitions, and is currently coaching young rhythmic gymnasts in
Moscow. "I can manage a different life very well; I can't do
only gymnastics," says Zaripova of
her post-competitive prospects.
