It has been a great Olympics season for nerds everywhere. From homages to shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Witcher, and more, geeky goodness was everywhere in Tokyo. Though the games have concluded, moments of fannish love are still emerging. One of the most beautiful displays comes in the form of a Sailor Moon rhythmic gymnastics routine, performed by the Uzbekistani team.
Here is the full routine:
Though rhythmic gymnastics is a lesser-known Olympic event, there’s no denying the intensity of skill necessary to compete. But, for long-time fans of the anime, this routine pulls on the heartstrings as well. As SoraNews24 first reported, the Uzbekistani team set their Olympic entry to “Moonlight Densetsu”/”Moonlight Legend.” This instrumental track is, of course, the opening theme of the original Sailor Moon anime. Watching this routine will definitely have fans singing along to the theme’s lyrics in their heads.

Russian officials have made extraordinary claims that America and other high-powered countries rigged the Tokyo Olympics against them. Russia wasn't officially competing at the Tokyo Games, however Russian athletes were still allowed to compete as the Russian Olympic Committee. Russia is banned from all international competitions until 2022 due to state-sanctioned doping, however the IOC decided that clean athletes deserved the chance to compete in Tokyo. The Russian Olympic Committee finished with 20 gold medals in Tokyo, as well as 28 silver and 23 bronze, coming in fifth on the medal tally. It marked their lowest finish since the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, and officials are not happy. Gymnastics Federation president Irina Viner-Usmanova claimed: “This outcome was planned in advance." Russian lawmaker Aleksei Zhuravlyov said other countries at the Olympics were "a pack of Russophobic beasts, headed by the United States."
