Summary

svetlana boginskaya interviewĀ This Week's Interview

In June, 2013 the Belarusian Swan graced us with herĀ presence. Svetlana BoginskayaĀ (Boguinskaia) is a 14-time Olympic and World medalist and is as elegant as she is fierce. This is a woman who is not afraid to speak her mind! Bogi gives us the scoop on:Ā Alexander AlexandrovĀ and why he left Russia, what happened at Round Lake when the USSR collapsed, the real story behind her snub ofĀ Kim ZmeskalĀ at the 1991 World Championships, the politics behindĀ Natalia KalininaĀ being left off of the Barcelona Olympic team, what makes her gymnastics camp different, why she thinks sheĀ isn’tĀ artistic, dating as a teen gymnast in Moscow, herĀ BolshoiĀ choreography, her favorite routines, coachingĀ Oksana ChusovitinaĀ in 2013, and why raising kids is harder than doing a sixth Olympics or trying to understandĀ Bela Karolyi's english.Ā
