Svetlana Boguinskaia Hall of Fame

GymCastic likes the Svetlana Boguinskaia acceptance speech for the IG Magazine Hall of Fame.

One of the greatest gymnasts all time, she was many times World and Olympic Champion. A long, long career.

Svetlana Boginskaya was called the “Belarusian Swan” and the “Goddess of Gymnastics” because of her height, balletic grace, and long lines.

Her last name derives from “boginya” … literally meaning “goddess” in Russian. …

Click PLAY or watch her 2005 speech on YouTube.

The strangest part of her long story …

Svetlana’s long-time coach Lyubov Miromanova committed suicide just three days after the Seoul Olympics. 😦

International Gymnastics Magazine Hall of Fame is posting speeches from their honourees on YouTube. 70+ gymnastics legends from 19 countries.
