What a privilege to interview this phenomenal person. She was very big in gymnastics and she is even bigger in life!

[@pekenjos]

And yes Sveta, even in South Africa your video's are regularly used to teach young gymnasts posture, focus and discipline. Especially that glorious '89 Fiesta in Stuttgart. You had a tremendous impact on the sport.

[@kamalaji1008]

One of my favorite gymnists of ALL TIME! Love seeing and hearing from you. Never forgotten. From an American fan.

[@erinwalker6185]

Svetlana Bouginskaya was one of the best Gymnasts that came out during the 1985-1988 Quadrium.

[@GROOVYJOJO]

[@김종인-d4c]

Oh my god! Boguinskaia when I was teenage maybe Barcelona Olympic? I was so impressed your both blue eyes and I was your fan. Maybe I am still your fan that's why I searched your name and I found your recent video. I still remember when you played in Barcelona gym. Than you for remind you and so glad to see you.

[@unknown-lf6zx]

[@lewisovhebn]

ICON AND LEGEND. follow her on Instagram =)

[@jennifersmith314]

So humble!!

[@ItsSeanzie]

She seems like such a genuine and fun person to be around. At least, that’s what I’ve gathered from her instagram. She was a phenomenal gymnast.

[@koolaidman6251]

I love how when I was growing up she was this exotic foreign woman from Belarus but now she is a regular Texas lady . .soooo American hahaha and hanging out with Kim Z on the regular. Never would have imagined that back in the early 90s!

[@iirussianpaternalgrandfath4434]

*our chandelier* 😍😍😍

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

They called her the Bella Russian swan. She was such a gorgeous gymnast. She had such balletic beauty to her line, legs, feet, and all her movements. She was so somber when she was a gymnast. Americans would say what's wrong what's wrong, she always looks so sad. And I would be thinking: she is a great focused artist! Why does she have to smile and look happy!? She had something great! But also I thought: well, she is from Bella Russe. The Soviet Union has a terrible, oppressive regime. So maybe that's why she's serious and you would be too! But also, Russians didn't have enough food. They stood in line for hours just for bread. The common people couldnt get fruit and vegetables. The people were surveyed and had to watch everything they said. And Americans are asking why she looked sad! I am so glad to see Boginskaya as an older adult. Her English is so good and she has such a wonderful spirit and I am so glad she is happy! She has such positive energy. She was an asset to the American gymnasts when she started training with them when she was a gymnast and she is an asset now as a gymnastics teacher and coach. Yes, technically gymnastics is at a high level now. But a Boginskaya type gymnast is sorely missing in gymnastics today. The long legs, line, beautifully arched feet. And differentness in choreography. Boginskaya prolonged her gymnastics career and ended up competing against much younger gymnasts and was considered old at the time! But she always had her own unique offering and was admired and was thought of as being a great gymnast and one to emulate! What a beautiful and elegant gymnast she was. I'm so happy to see this video.

[@chrishansen2100]

Belarusian* as in Belarus

[@SamShueh]

Hi Proud of your accomplishment.

[@fernandolopez3534]

You are The best. I love you.

[@natacionytale8467]

She s training Oksana and I love this!

[@chrismartino3519]

She was a blistering hot looking young woman back in the day. Jaw dropping beauty and stunning eyes.

[@ft-je3rs]

The goddess of gymnastics

[@gonzalomoralescorrales5716]

I will love Svetlana Boguinskaya 4 ever her style is unique and beautifull

[@antoniodelpilar5930]

Superb and still beautiful.

[@jennamayes4646]

I thought I saw her back there while I watching the floor routines

[@koolaidman6251]

I LOVE HER!! AND HER INSTAGRAM!!

[@Jay6459]

A true "Artistic" gymnast!

[@rohthape]

❤

[@ceciliacila1430]

NADIA IS ALL IN THE GINASTICA!!❤

[@DudeEM]

I do remember gymnasts of her generation wear shoes on BB. These latest generations, with the difficult moves, would benefit well from being barefoot for gripping the beam edges and staying on beam.

[@kras_brothers2128]

Does she love football (soccer) ?

[@kelifreeman1528]

My mom loves you

[@sallydaniel1023]

Bogi...a Soviet gymnastics icon!

[@sabrinac1941]

I think fig should set up the rule: the winner of AA has no fall on all events. That will be much fairer.

[@ronn5868]

@D Leo Right.... It's not Simone's fault the rules are set up this way. Nor was it Vanessa Ferrari's fault the FIG adopted the open ended system.

[@aquaintrovius5981]

😂 yes! DRAG her!!

[@minavamp2811]

gymnastics the same as figure skating, it rewards technical difficulty, that is the only way for these sports to progress, and they should remain that way. if all athletes just play it safe and strive for perfection without any mistakes and just go for the art then gymnastic and figure skating are no longer sports.

[@hidiyakikliuka2792]

stick it... smart athlete too...

[@Hwang_룰루]

😱

[@sapphire22011]

what happened her face? she looks like Alicia Douvall

[@shookdrm.d.9389]

a female gymnast body should be like her....................not muscular like a cow prepared to be slaughtered!

[@hine66]

Wow! What a positive thing to add to the conversation. Amazing how you can give her such a compliment without throwing others under the bus. Oh. Wait.

[@ronn5868]

Here we go again with this body type crap! Just STFU! Ppl are different. Period!
