Svetlana Boguinskaia – Spokesperson

3 time Olympic Gold Medalist, 7 time World Champion

Svetlana Boguinskaia was a Soviet/Unified Team/Belarusian gymnast. Especially renowned for the drama and artistry she displayed on floor exercise, she was called the “Belarusian Swan” and the “Goddess of Gymnastics” because of her height, balletic grace, and long lines. Boguinskaia is a three-time Olympic Champion, winning an individual gold medal in Vault at the 1988, and team golds in 1988 and 1992.

Today Boguinskaia lives in Houston, Texas with her husband and two children. She runs two businesses, an online gymnastics apparel retailer and a summer camp for gymnastics students, but she also considers herself a stay-at-home mother.
