Serebrianska became the first female rhythmic gymnast to hold the European, World, and Olympic all-round titles at the same time. This record was tied by Alina Kabayeva at the 2004 Athens Olympics. She was the first gymnast to win World gold medals in all of the apparatus (five apparatus: rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon). Evgenia Kanaeva tied this record in 2011. Serebrianska is tied with Evgenia Kanaeva and Lilia Ignatova for three World gold medals in ball.

Famous quotes containing the word records:
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The camera relieves us of the burden of memory. It surveys us like God, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so cynical, for the camera records in order to forget.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.”
