Olympic Champions - Seoul 1988 Vault - Svetlana Boginskaya 

Unbelievable Vaulter! I have NEVER seen anyone do it better.

thats amazing how she perfectly stuck the landings

ohh i miss her she was awesome...i thought she was the coolest gymnast i had ever seen!!!

The judges were only giving 10's out to the favorites Shushunova and Silivas. Dagmar Kersten also got one. But other than that, no one else.

She won bronze in the all around here and 4th in 1992 right? Quite a few medals in both games also right?

@luv4cookie1 I agree with you in many ways (Shannon was incredible - especially when they still had compulsaries - where she really showed she was superior), but admittenly it seems even more impactful when the gymnast has a taller frame. In the case of Boginskaya, she towered over the average gymnasts in height and when she performed routines like the vault, it just looked larger than life.

MARAVILLOSA SVETLANA!!!

..................and this was the last time we saw a stuck landing from an Olympics vault champion.

Their scores: Compulsories: 9.9 Optionals: 9.975 Finals: 9.968 My scores: Compulsories: 9.950 Finals: 9.9625

Her feet at landings were always a little apart (you can not see well in this video).That is why she did not get a 10.

Why didn't she get a ten?
