She was the 2010 all-around world champion, the 2013 European all around champion, the 2012 and 2016Olympicuneven bars champion and a seven-timeOlympic medalist. Mustafina has tied withSvetlana Khorkina for the most Olympic medals won by a Russian gymnast (not includingSoviet Union women's national artistic gymnastics team). She was the ninth gymnast to win medals on every event at the World Championship.
At the2012 Summer Olympics, Mustafina won four medals, making her the most decorated gymnast of the competition and the most decorated athlete in any sport except swimming.[4] At the2016 Summer Olympics, she became the first female gymnast since 2000 to win an all-around medal in two consecutive Olympics, and the first sinceSvetlana Khorkina (also in 2000) to defend her title in an Olympic apparatus final.[5]
Mustafina was born inYegoryevsk, Russia, on 30 September 1994. Her father,Farhat Mustafin, aVolga Tatar born inNizhny Novgorod OblastMishar villageBolshoye Rybushkino, was a bronze medalist inGreco-Roman wrestling at the1976 Summer Olympics, and her mother, Yelena Kuznetsova, an ethnicRussian, is a physics teacher.[6][7][8][9]

She competed twice over the summer, placing second in the all-around (58.250) at the Japan Cup inTokyo in July[18] and winning the all-around (59.434) in the senior division at the Russian Cup inPenza in August.[19] In December, she won the all-around at the Gymnasiade competition inDoha, Qatar, with a score of 57.350,[20] and went on to place second on vault (13.900), first on uneven bars (14.825), first on balance beam (14.175), and first on floor (14.575).[21][22]

She left Rotterdam with five medals, more than any other artistic gymnast, male or female.[29] Andy Thornton wrote forUniversal Sports:[30]
The story behind Aliya Mustafina's all-around gold today is that of a revived dynasty; the dominant Soviet women's team of the 1980s and early 1990s—whom many consider to represent the absolute epitome of artistic gymnastics—was dead and now reborn. In addition to leading her teammates to their country's first world title as an independent nation, Mustafina has delivered one of the great performances by a female gymnast ever—capturing the very same artistry, difficulty, and competitive composure that made her Soviet predecessors so beloved and revered. Mustafina's four-event arsenal is so well balanced it's hard to pick a favorite event to watch her on, and a win so convincing and undeniable as hers gives a satisfying sense of closure to a competition. She has established herself and her Russian teammates as the absolute gymnasts to watch over the next two years—and the gymnasts to beat.
In November, Mustafina competed in the Italian Grand Prix inCagliari, Sardinia. She placed fourth on uneven bars, scoring 13.570, and first on balance beam, scoring 14.700.[31]
Mustafina competed at theAmerican Cup inJacksonville, Florida, in March. She finished in a controversial second to AmericanJordyn Wieber, with an all-around score of 59.831, after leading for three-quarters of the competition but falling on floor exercise, the last event. Later that month, she placed second on vault at a World Cup event in Paris, scoring 14.433; first on uneven bars, scoring 15.833; and first on balance beam, scoring 15.333.[32]
In April, she competed at the2011 European Championships inBerlin. She qualified to the all-around final in first place, with a score of 59.750,[33] but tore her leftanterior cruciate ligament while competing a 2.5 twisting Yurchenko vault in the final.[34][35] Five days later, she hadsurgery inStraubing, Germany.
Mustafina's coaches had her resume workouts slowly. Coach Valentina Rodionenko said in May, "Only when we are told that she can proceed with training will we go forward. It's important to save her for the Olympic Games."[36] By July, she was only doing upper body conditioning and rehabilitation on her leg.[37] In August, after the Russian team was announced for the2011 World Championships, Rodionenko said: "Aliya really wanted to go to Worlds—her heart and soul are literally crying, 'I can do it! I'm ready!' But we do not want to risk costing her the Olympics, and her surgeon in Germany said that she can start real training only in December. She just thinks she's ready now. But she does not really understand what she will face. She must be protected. Sometimes it takes years for people to recover from these injuries, and she hasn't even had five months."[38]
In December, Mustafina returned to competition at the Voronin Cup inMoscow. She placed fourth in the all-around and second on uneven bars with a score of 15.475.[39] Coach Alexander Alexandrov said, "I was pleasantly surprised and happy about her first meet. She didn't do her full routines and full difficulty, but she tried what she was ready for at the time, and for me, it was enough to see. She was nervous, even though her goal was just to compete, to see how she does after eight months off and how well she could handle the pressure and how her knee would feel. I came up to her and said, 'Well, it seems like you're not very nervous at all, and I'm surprised!' And she said, 'Look at my hands, Alexander', and her hands were shaking. 'Maybe I'm not showing that I'm nervous, but inside I have butterflies!'"[40]
Mustafina competed at the Russian national championships in Penza in March at what Alexandrov said was "75 to 80 percent".[40] She won the all-around with a score of 59.533[41] and uneven bars with a score of 16.220,[42] and finished fifth on balance beam with a score of 13.680.[43] In May, at the2012 European Championships inBrussels, she contributed scores of 15.166 on vault, 15.833 on uneven bars, and 13.933 on floor toward the Russian team's second-place finish.[44]

Mustafina went on to win theuneven bars final with a score of 16.133,[54] ending Russia's 12-year gold medal drought in Olympic gymnastics.[55]
In thefloor final, she placed third with a score of 14.900,[56] earning the bronze medal in a tie-breaker over Italy'sVanessa Ferrari.[57]
In December, she competed at the DTB Stuttgart World Cup, where the Russian team finished first.[58]
At the 2013 Russian national championships, Mustafina successfully defended her all-around title with a score of 59.850, earning a 15.450 on beam, 15.500 on bars, 13.600 on floor, and 15.300 on vault. These scores qualified her to the beam and uneven bars finals in first place, and to the floor exercise final in third place,[59] but she withdrew from all but the bars final to protect her knee. She received a silver medal with the Moscow Central team and finished third in the uneven bars final, behindAnastasia Grishina andTatiana Nabieva.[60]
Later, Mustafina won the all-around and team titles at the Stella Zakharova Cup. In event finals, she won gold on uneven bars and silver on balance beam after a fall on the latter.[61]

In July, Mustafina competed at the2013 Summer Universiade inKazan, Russia, alongside teammates Nabieva,Ksenia Afanasyeva,Maria Paseka, andAnna Dementyeva. Before the competition, her participation had been in question after she was hospitalized forflu. In the team competition, which also served as a qualification round for the individual finals, Mustafina contributed scores of 13.750 on floor, 14.950 on vault, 15.000 on uneven bars, and 15.200 on beam[67] towardRussia's first-place finish.[68] She qualified to the all-around final[69] as well as the uneven bars,[70] balance beam,[71] and floor finals.[72] In the all-around final, she won the title with a score of 57.900.[73] Individually, she won gold on bars and silver on beam. In the floor final, she fell on her last tumbling pass and finished 9th.[74]
In October, just after turning 19, Mustafina competed at the2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships inAntwerp. Prior to the competition, she had been sick for weeks and had been experiencing knee pain. In qualifications, she fell on her first tumbling pass on floor (two whips into a double Arabian) and crashed her second vault (round-off, half-on, full twist off), causing her to miss the finals in both events. However, she still qualified fifth for the all-around final with a score of 57.165, fifth for uneven bars, and eighth for balance beam. In the all-around final, she finished third with a total of 58.856 (14.891 on vault, 15.233 on uneven bars, 14.166 on balance beam, and 14.566 on floor),[75] behindSimone Biles andKyla Ross of the United States.

She qualified to both finals, with scores of 15.100 and 14.233, respectively. In the team final, she scored 14.700 on vault, 15.166 on bars, and 14.800 on beam, leading an inexperienced Russian team to a third-place finish behind Romania and Great Britain, which took gold and silver, respectively.[78] In event finals, she placed second on the uneven bars with a score of 15.266, and third on balance beam with a score of 14.733.
