Aliya Mustafina!

Robert Stacy McCain has been all over the U.S. water polo reporting, for example, "USA! USA! USA!", and "Go for the Gold, Melissa Seidemann!" Or, well, he's been all over Melissa Seidemann, I should say.

But I tweeted him the other day:

.@rsmccain, I know you're digging water polo, but I'll tell ya, Russia's Aliya Mustafina was sweet on uneven bars. #Olympics

I know she's Russian, but Aliya Mustafina is a fascinating athlete, especially her facial expressions. Matt Stopera at BuzzFeed picks up on that, big time, "The Ultimate Aliya Mustafina Tribute."
