Svetlana Khorkina

[John Isham]

I haven't been able to track the original words.  But this seems to
be a somewhat common motif in Khorkina's interviews.  Consider for
example this interview of hers with Elena Burtseva of "Argumenty i
fakty":

where Khorkina says "Ia stala zamechat', chto ochen' khochu svoego
rebenka."  (Look for the highlighted word "rebenka" on the page
I've cited),

and these more recent comments:

where she says "Ia khochu, kak liubaia zhenshchina, imet' sem'iu,
liubov' i detei."
