A GLORIOUS FIESTA • Svetlana Boginskaya (Богинская Светлана) 1989 Worlds Gymnastics FX Reaction

I am forever thankful for Svetlana Boguinskaia.

The final routine in my Soviets In Stuttgart series centers on the Belle of the Worlds Ball that year--the aforementioned Glorious Miss Boginskaya. She walked away from Stuttgart with 3 gold medals that year—for the team, all-around, and floor exercise.

In addition to being one of my favorite gymnasts, she is well known for her interesting floor choreography, steely focus, intense determination, and many years of perseverance.

Known as the Belarusian Swan and being a motherly figure to some of her younger teammates at the fall of the Iron Curtain, Svetlana is one of the most accomplished gymnasts between the three Major Competitions of the Olympics, Worlds, and Europeans. She is one of the all-time greats.

I also literally just found out Raffaella Carrà, who sang the lovely song Fiesta used for Boguinskaia's floor routine, died earlier this year. (Somehow, I missed this whilst researching a few weeks back.) RIP Raffaella.
