@seriex5 Kostina wasn't chosen to compete at the Olympics

Well, my calling Timoshenko Belorussian WAS a mistake. But there was no such thing as a Ukranian,Russian or Belorussian flag at the Olympics(watch any Barcelona video for it).Kostina DID win the selection tournament held specifically for the purpose- much more relevant than the 1991Worlds.

Both Skaldina & Timochenko competed under the Ukrainian flag at the 1992 Olympics. Kostina came to Barcelona as the reserve gymnast, but was sent home before the competition started...
Skaldina was the current AA World champion at the time, so naturally she was chosen & Timochenko was awarded Master of the Sports at the time too. Kostina didn't have a chance. Perhaps this is why Kostina won EVERY title at the 1992 Worlds?

No wonder she felt sad after 92Olympics. It was the year after the collapse of the USSRbut there still was one team. The two vacancies available were filled by Skaldina(Ukraine) and Timoshenko(Belorussia),under the pressure from the respective lobbies. it was generally believed to be a politically motivated decision...The then head of the IOC sent Oksana a personal invitaton to attend the games as a guest of honour, like it could compensate (((

Kostina says that for her, it was a successful year though it's hard for her to think of the olympics.And then she thanks the people who came and says that she will try to go back to Japan when she can
