She is a three-time Olympic champion, with an individual gold medal onvaultfrom the1988 Summer Olympicsand team gold medals from the 1988 and1992 Summer Olympics. Boginskaya was born inMinsk,Belarus. She was afigure skaterfor several years, but began gymnastics at age six. Two years later, she moved to Moscow to train full-time at the Round Lake Gymnastics Center. By age fourteen, she was a member of the Soviet national team. She won her first world medal, a bronze onbalance beam, at the1987 World Championships. She went on to compete in the 1988 Olympic Games inSeoul,South Korea, where she won four medals: gold in the team competition, gold on vault, silver on floor, and bronze in the individual all-around. Just three days after the Olympics, Boginskaya's longtime coach,Lyubov Miromanova, committedsuicide. Miromanova had been a surrogate mother to Boginskaya, coaching and caring for her after she moved from Minsk to train full-time in Moscow. After her death, Boginskaya began training withTatiana Grosovivich. Under Grosovivich's tutelage, Boginskaya became world champion in1989and later dedicated her performance to her late mentor. In 1990, Boginskaya became the fourth woman to sweep theEuropean Championships, winning the gold medal in every individual event. The only other gymnasts to do so wereVra slavsk,Ludmilla Tourischeva, andLarisa Latynina. In doing so, she defended her titles in the all-around, vault, and floor exercise, and added titles in theuneven barsand balance beam. In 1991, in a controversial finish, Boginskaya lost the gold medal in the all-around toKim Zmeskalof theUnited States. However, she earned gold medals in the team and balance beam competitions. In 1992, Boginskaya, then 19 years old, had a disappointing performance at the 1992 European Championships, falling on her final event, the floor exercise. She finished in fifth place, while her young teammateTatiana Gutsuwon the all-around title. Boginskaya won the balance beam title with a score of 9.95 and remained a favorite to win the all-around title at the 1992 Summer Olympics inBarcelona,Spain. Many in the gymnastics world expected a duel between Boginskaya and Zmeskal at the Olympics, and the media promoted this story. However, while Boginskaya won her third Olympic gold medal in the team competition, she faltered on the uneven bars in the individual all-around and finished fifth; Zmeskal finished tenth. Meanwhile, their younger teammates Tatiana Gutsu andShannon Millerwon the gold and silver medals. Boginskaya retired after the 1992 Olympics but decided to make a comeback in 1995. She said that she was inspired byKatarina Wittwho had made a memorable comeback of her own at the1994 Winter Olympics. Boginskaya moved toHouston,Texas, to train withBela Karolyiand upgraded the difficulty of her routines. In 1996, at age 23, she placed second in the all-around at theAmerican Cupto one of Karolyi's pupils,Kerri Strug, as well as at the European Championships inBirmingham, behind the defending world all-around champion (and future Olympic all-around champion),Lilia PodkopayevaofUkraine. She then progressed to the1996 OlympicsinAtlanta,Georgia, where she was one of a number of older gymnasts competing. She led the Belarus team to sixth place and competed in the all-around and vault finals, but won no individual medals, placing 15th in the all-around and fifth on vault. Boginskaya is among a small group of women to have competed in three Olympic Games; and due to the break-up of the Soviet Union, she competed at each Games under a different flag:USSR, theUnified Team, and Belarus. She was inducted into theInternational Gymnastics Hall of Famein 2005.[1] Boginskaya has remained active in both the American and international gymnastics communities, and works as a consulting guest coach. In the early 2010s, she frequently supported former teammateOksana Chusovitina, who competed well into her 40s and appeared on the competition floor as her coach. Living in Houston with her husband and two children, she runs several businesses, including an online gymnastics apparel retailer, a summer camp for gymnasts, and a pizzeria
