Welcome to my fan site for Aliya Mustafina. I am NOT Aliya. Some people seem to be confused but I am just a fan. Everything on here is a work in progress. I will be trying to pack as many pictures and videos of Musty that I can into this place. I will also be adding as detailed as I possibly can results for all of her competitions. Drop me a line if you have any suggestions on what you want to see or any comments.

8/22/2012: Aliya Earns Money
The Mayor of Moscow awarded money certificates today to Aliya for winning her four Olympic medals. How much did she earn? How does $311,488 USD sound? My original prediction further down this page was $325,000. I was pretty damn close. Throw in her Audi that was worth at least $73,000 and that is a pretty decent haul. Congratulations Aliya.

8/13/2012: Aliya earned $325,000 during the 2012 Olympics?
According to reports Russia pays their athletes about $135,000 per gold medal, $82,000 per silver and $54,000 per bronze. In comparison the United States pays $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. Italy pays their athletes the most. How does $182,000 sound? If those numbers are accurate that means Aliya would have earned $325,000.

8/13/2012: I don’t know why there’s the idea that Mustafina is the “bad guy".
I came across an interview with Aliya's coach Alexander Alexandrov. It's a pretty interesting read if you have the time. He gets asked several different questions about how difficult she is to coach. Maybe it will finally put to rest some of those diva rumors out there. You can read the translated article right here.
