Svetlana Boginskaya - 1991 Worlds AA - Balance Beam

[indiatree]

For Bogi to have won here, she needed to have added one more significant element to her UB routine. That was her downfall. She performed her UB routine very well, but the judges did not think the difficulty was enough compared to the competition.

[fatFRIESareAWESOME]

is it just me or does she have the strangest body? It is just shaped so strangly and I can't decide if it is atractive or not. Hmmm.

I personally feel that Kim Zmeskal deserved the title more, but Svetlana is an outstanding gymnast too.

[luv4cookie1]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 nope not a chance of kim deserving this, she was completely overscored this entire competion!

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

Okay...

[luv4cookie1]

its true thought, she was majorly overscored

[tetsuya674]

@luv4cookie1 yes ... i agree ,but when gymnasts compete in their own country they are usually scored slightly higher than they normaly would at a competition outside their home origin.(i dont know why its like this but it just is this way, home advantage?).

[sochisochi]

she is not commenting on her skills rather she is counting her deductions

[lokienvy]

I hear Bontas' FX music in the background. LOL. :)

So Kin Zmeskal won the all-around and Sveta came in second?

[WarrenBeattySplendor]

Svetlana Boginskaya was MAJESTIC at the 1991 World Championships. Her poise, self-assurance and stylized performance is reminiscent of Natalia Yurchencko.

Sveta was the actual 1991 World AA Champion! The home field advantage for Kim Zmeskal was the deciding factor because there is no question about it that Boginskaya was superior on all 4 events!

[WSggs]

No not really.

I liked Boginskaya better than Zmeskal.

But Zmeskal just IS the AA world champion, there's no point in disputing it.

[twilliger123]

Exactly, WBS is just an American hating asshole!

@WarrenBeattySplendor You sound like someone familiar. Care to let us know your aliases?

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

@WarrenBeattySplendor So you say. But Kim won, so get over it.
