About her gymnastics role models, Mustafina said, "I like Nastia Liukin. I adore her elegant and beautiful performances with difficult elements. I like especially her graceful uneven bars and balance beam. Among the Russians, I like Ksenia Afanasyeva. I respect her strong and beautiful gymnastics."^[4]
Her coach since 2008, Alexander Alexandrov said, "The girl is very talented, but with a difficult character. However, you don't find much complacency among champions."^[3]
