Svetlana Khorkina 2004 Olympics TF FX

Svetlana Khorkina RUS
2004 Olympics, team finals - floor exercise
9.6 (113.235 3rd place)
If it wasn't Khorkina, I'd say this was an average floor routine and the choreography could have been better. Sveta however, was famous for capturing the attention of the audience. She smiled throughout this routine and to me that made this performance special. Of course a whip to triple twist isn't bad either. :-) She is my favourite gymnast and this Olympics were her last competition.

[@xrictinagymnastics]

I was there in those finals :) I love this routine, I believe that if Khorkina just walked across the mat she would be 10 times more elegant graceful and artistic than half of today gymnasts. I miss her so much

[@tatyanas1232]

Одна из лучших

[@volodymyrdolia6544]

Oh please, the gymnasts like Morgan Hurd and Brooklyn Moors have more real choreography in one floor routine than Khorkina thorough her whole career, lol. Not everything that occurred during your youth is the best.

[@amakasan2083]

Interesting cuz she's just a rotten person in real life. Probably the most evil... Nasty.... Disgusting athlete ever to compete in the sport.

[@jonjones6583]

Today’s so-called gymnasts are rather obese, ugly and pleasing to look at and generally just taking the sport to the bottom level. Thank you for your understanding from a very old man.

[@dariusus9870]

​@@volodymyrdolia6544 did she have a fake choreography or what? What makes choreography real?

[@nicki446]

Her face just glows after throwing that whip triple twist. She is so expressive and captivating - such a star.

[@lepetitpoulet]

Of course she is the queen of gymnastics. She won every single world and olympic title on bars from 1995 to 2001. that's unheard of. she has 20 world medals + 7 olympic medals. she 's the only gymnast to be 3 time all around champion. she's very tall for a gymnast and managed a ten year long career. she has titles on every single apaparatus, and 8 skills named after her. the only gymnast to have a skill named after her on all 4 apparatus. i mean...i could just continue for hours. QUEEN KHORKINA!

[@1Timoteo41]

Nice music and iterpretation. I love when she blows a kiss to the crowd from 1:11-1:13 She had great contact with the crowd. And of course she smiles. She knew she was performing her last floor routin in the Olympic Games,her third and last Olympics,finishing well. Good enough to finally win a medal in the all around.

[@LCAmarkymark]

What I love most about this routine is that she got the crowd clapping to a slow song. She just knew how to really preform. There is no where in the music that prompts clapping lol. I love it.

[@jorgeantonioreinoso7579]

Awesome! Full of grace and artistry!

[@rogelinouicabtrejo4869]

La sonrisa de Khorkina y los aplausos durante su rutina ....

[@misslosty87]

Vika Komova did the same thing in London - she used Amy Winehouse's You know I'm no good, and Queen's Show must go on - she also performed very passionately. That FX routine was a gold winning finish - too bad it didn't come through. But I really think it was deep, artistic and emotional performance.

[@LelandTilden]

I got mad goosebumps when the vibe changes after her whip triple full at 01:00... she blows the audience a kiss and they're owned. And the smiling... I forgot how captivating and beautiful Khorkina is. Unbelievable.

[@katja8619]

Don't talk about war here! Khorkina, it's only my opinion, was the best....elegant, precise, fluid. She deserved

[@1Timoteo41]

And another kiss at the end of her routin. She was well connected to all gymnastics fans.

[@brianpatterson1827]

One of a kind. The always amazing even when faultering Svetlana Khorkina 💜💜

[@misslosty87]

Yup, but part of this song was also a wise choice, it's "Goodbye my love" by Greek musician Demis Roussos. She basically paid respect to her hosts, but she also made them cheer for her using the song she knew would work on them. :) Anyway, listen to the words of the song, makes this routine even more emotional, Sveta saying goodbye to her greatest love. :) /watch?v=7nZKMm-nOsc.

[@KiingOfFlipz]

it's like she put this routine together so she could say goodbye to gymnastics in the best way she could.

[@realtalkgrace]

The queen of gymnastic!

[@Quetzalazul]

La gimnasia artística actual, se olvidó precisamente de ser artística, elegante, de la belleza y la sutileza, hoy es solo fuerza y potencia !! Ojalá volvamos a tener una nueva Korkina

[@Eva-gm3ut]

Totalmente de acuerdo,estas olimpiadas ni si quiera vi gimnasia,ahora solo importa ser una acróbata

[@alexzjay]

Nadia and Olga are like the classic Queens, but, Svetlana is the Queen of "modern" gymnastics.

[@aurylovevintage2198]

Wow so good! I love the name Svetlana!

[@deeppurplejaguar]

her name means 'divine' in Russian

[@alexzjay]

Nastia will never reach Svet's level of legendness.

[@alexzjay]

She also has skills that WASN'T named after her because of technicalities but she was the FIRST - and only - to perform, like the sublime, gainer full twist on beam. The Queen.

[@ДмитрийТиунов-о3ш]

Сила мощь красота

[@Nemova]

Of all the active gymnasts I've seen, she was the absolute best. No one compares to her. She had grace, she had poise, she had elegance, she was fiery and she was no-nonsense in her approach to her craft. She might have been the biggest diva of her sport, but she was a genius, an innovator.

[@czucksk84life]

That was beautifl. Very hard for the judges to decide either carly or she. Thank goodness she popped that smile! After that the routine looked so much better and the crowd even started clapping. Thats all it takes!

[@CRUNKKGLAM]

that was magnificent! i like how elated she was when she did the tripple. she had the biggest grin :)

[@Ceneviva]

Khorkina wish you all the joy and happiness world can offer.

[@qatarean09]

i missed her!!!! gymnast nowadays are very robotic and non-artistic especially american gymnasts!!!!

[@annapavfan4680]

Hmmm, not just them. I'll let you re-evaluate that.

[@shushunovafan4301]

Morgan Hurd is a serious improvement over last years American girls as far as artistry is concerned and I think McKusker has all the qualities to be artistic, just needs good choreo to show it off. Sure the more famous Americans are some of the worst offenders for lack of artistry but so are some of the more famous Romanians and last years Chinese girls, even some Russians have let themselves go.

This comment is for everyone really I guess. A bit further down I read some really aggressive comments about what US and Russia dominate/not dominate for sports and then all of a sudden the US is accused of bringing war into the world...hang on a minute. This is a comment wall for Svetlana Khorkina, a gymnast. Enjoy Sveta's beauty on FX! Love life! Leave the wars out of this, please

[@milomirkrunic5971]

THE BEST🎉

[@theegapman]

I agree Bogi and Khorkina are the best artistically. Bogi is THE ultimate performer... she was tall and crazy difficult skills were hard. Khorkina was brilliant in making skills to fit her tallness. My top two (1) Bogi (2) Khorkina.

[@liukin95]

They could be in rebuilding mode because there pre head coaches Arkiav and Belu left and they both had to rebuild there system on how they train. Yes Izbasa's gold medal is one to remember :)

[@СветланаБойкова-ф9с]

Хоркина лучшая🎉

[@nascarkraz]

@beeaa96 that was old school gymnastics, no comparison! Sveta was the queen in the new school!

[@edgarfuentes5173]

hahaha she´s Queen Khorkina!!! and she has not needs presentation. She does art and she´s a champion.

[@jamesbug2002]

her first pass is the second pass of Sandra Izbasa..RO DT and a half through to a full twist

no, khorkina will always remain the queen, it doesn't matter who wins the all-around.

[@user-hs6no7vu7x]

I do not know why, but the Russian female gymnasts remind me of a well oiled machines.

[@Axel.Roads74]

Sveta yeah !!!

[@Dancing24]

@yaoryu I must agree her Carmen routine was great i also like her routine from 2003 worls. But for the othe no.... not my type.

[@jojox9791]

idk ... I have just never seen what many do. she is just too thin and gangly looking. I appreciate her constructing routines around her height and she is absolutely amazingly talented. I just could never enjoy watching her.

[@brianpatterson1827]

that's just her body frame. For being so thin and 5' 5" or 5' 6" she seemingly towers over most female gymnasts. For her height she is amazing at having been able to do these skills. where she found the power in that body. IDK. I'm a US fan as I'm from the USA of course my whole life but Svetlana was the first International Gymnast that I wanted to see in competition just for being different. And I did so (as well as wanting to see Vanessa Atler and Dominique Dawes) at the 1998 Goodwill Games. 💜 She was just AMAZING on bars as usual. Her body can take away from those who like just power power power. But I appreciate both power and artistry. And looking like you are having a good time on floor exercise like she always did is beautiful. You can tell she's so passionate about her passion - Artistic Gymnastics. She was told that she should do rhythmic gymnastics for her height when she was young but refused like crazy and insisted she wanted to flip and tumble not just dance. She may not be the most power and maybe she is lanky. But she exhibited beauty, grace, and power. She is one of the greats whether u can't see it or not. And to go in the sport at such a high level for so many years. well I give her all the props in the world. in she is far from my favorite all time international gymnasts as of today. But she would probably STILL challenge for event final medals today (not on floor or vault) but on Bars definitely and possibly beam even with her old routines. She is one of the best artistic gymnasts ever. Not even the biggest hater can deny that if they have any historical knowledge of the sport.

[@llonabevigny40]

mrsjojo xoxo as far there are other contry than american concerned you are always critical i often see you in the comments

[@SonOfAGun1814]

she's AMAZING on the floor, esp. for her height, please show a video of yourself doing better

[@elbrown1011]

How lovely to watch. Not squatty bodies. Sorry to say that but a longer line is always more interesting to watch in my personal opinion.

[@edgarfuentes5173]

Before was Khorkina, now is Mustafina

[@jorgeantonioreinoso7579]

edgar fuentes no, even though Mustafina is good, she lacks of artistry, grace and elegance that Khorkina has

[@annapavfan4680]

anastasia lesenkia Yup,also Mustafina's attitude towards her teammates is still better and her sportsmanship.

[@shushunovafan4301]

Idk, Khorkina gave up her event final spot in 2000 so her team mate could have a chance at gold. I think she's just super passionate and wants Russia to win medals more than anything, including more than winning for just herself. She has said some pretty unsportsmanlike things too though so I'm not sure. Mustafina is great artistry wise but she's hit and miss with the choreo, like 2015 and 2016 wasn't that great.

[@turbojon811]

Up until a few months ago it was debatable, but there is a new queen now and she goes by "Nastia". Khorkina was very accomplished though - three Olympics and world champ on every single event at one point... that's unheard of in this day and age.

[@icarrus4u]

LOVE her , hate the blowing kisses choreography.

[@hjaidar]

@Dancing24 Its funny that you think about Liukin like a dancer when she is not. Her choreo its all about poses, beautiful poses of course but its only that. Khorkina's routines in 1995 and 2000 only to mention few of them can show you about real dancing and artistry
