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.
Her face just glows after throwing that whip triple twist. She is so expressive and captivating - such a star.
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!
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
Одна из лучших
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.
Interesting cuz she's just a rotten person in real life. Probably the most evil... Nasty.... Disgusting athlete ever to compete in the sport.
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.
Don't talk about war here! Khorkina, it's only my opinion, was the best....elegant, precise, fluid. She deserved
Awesome! Full of grace and artistry!
One of a kind. The always amazing even when faultering Svetlana Khorkina 💜💜
La sonrisa de Khorkina y los aplausos durante su rutina ....
Khorkina wish you all the joy and happiness world can offer.
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.
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.
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.
that was magnificent! i like how elated she was when she did the tripple. she had the biggest grin :)
Wow so good! I love the name Svetlana!
her name means 'divine' in Russian
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!
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.
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.
it's like she put this routine together so she could say goodbye to gymnastics in the best way she could.
Svetlana best of the best
Elegant a in executii. Frumos
I love Svetlana ❤. Pretty gymnast
Сила мощь красота
She was so good. I really wish she had won an AA gold, at least once.
That is so awesome...this is what gymnastics is about...the thought behind the routines as well. I wish gymnastics was more like this and rewarded like this...oh well..I can always remember!
The queen of gymnastic!
Nadia and Olga are like the classic Queens, but, Svetlana is the Queen of "modern" gymnastics.
La Mas Grande Gimnasta Q´Ha Dado El Deporte... Hermosa... Y Elegante... La Mejor En Todas Las Aparatos,,, Pero La Reyna De Las Barras Asimetricas... Viva La Grande!!!
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.
Did she get a medal for this? She deserves one, her moves were absolute perfection!
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.
She is just so damn awesome. I think she is my favorite gymnast ever.
And another kiss at the end of her routin. She was well connected to all gymnastics fans.
was Khorkina even real omg
Jude Robinson yes.... she wasn’t a dream she was real
@@211jump hahahahaha
Лучшая на все времена... 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
The ending...love it!
THE QUEEN
i love the fact that all three russian performers on floor had a whip-triple
Лучшая и самая красивая -грациозная гимнастка всех времён!
И блудоватая
@@user-ft7qg2sm2iа что это?
lol my parents love this song. they always listen to it.
Me pone la piel de gallina 😘
Nastia will never reach Svet's level of legendness.
i missed her!!!! gymnast nowadays are very robotic and non-artistic especially american gymnasts!!!!
Hmmm, not just them. I'll let you re-evaluate that.
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.
LA MÁS HERMOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Like her and Svetlana Boginskaya!
Ух как она весь зала заставила аплодировать .
OMG, what a performer! =D
The Queen Khorkina
I miss her so much in the gymnastics world. I feel gymnastics hasn't been the same without her.
that's so beautiful! she is the real queen. Love her smile :) Goodbye my love Goodbye.
She Is mine
She was amazing! And she smiled through the whole event!
I love Russia gymnastics!!!
i really like her music
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
QUEEN KHORKINA
Diva!!!
Si ella y Zamolodchikova hubieran estado en beijing 2008 en lugar de klyukina y Ezghova todo hubiese cambiado! No creen?
wow , this girl is amazing :)
1:03 -1:06 Нет слов! Сверло!
Хоркина ЛУЧШАЯ!!!!
The best svetlana
We know it!!
The best
She's pretty when she smiles
@lepetitpoulet Thanks! I didn't know many of those things, and I loved Khorkina already! Imanige now... :-D
@concreto20 maby, she´s so special, cute and elegant, almost like çaslavska or Comaneci
Oh, thank you. I have it now too. But thanks for responding.
Wow all the judges loved that...
She Is the best ever
I'd like to see everything people see in Khorkina
Es Adios Adios Amor o algo asi... pero este instrumental como se llama?
svetlana the king for ever svetla themost beautiful thebest in the best
Her smile ❤️ I was routing my ass off for her! Too bad with her politics career.
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.
hahaha she´s Queen Khorkina!!! and she has not needs presentation. She does art and she´s a champion.
Where can I get this song?
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 :)
@beeaa96 that was old school gymnastics, no comparison! Sveta was the queen in the new school!
Art
THAT'S how floor is performed. You still don't know why people didn't like your routine better Aly Raisman?
my teen love :)
her first pass is the second pass of Sandra Izbasa..RO DT and a half through to a full twist
@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.
What's the name of this song? I love it.
What was her score here? Does someone know
9.6
Ay, yo lo quiero, es muy hermoso y animoso HAHAH.
@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
She looks beatiful when she is smilling! =)
Svetlana Khorkina - They say she's the real queen of gymnastics, is it true? .
Good times.
What's the name of this song?
of course they clap. that's Sveta and that's greek music
no, khorkina will always remain the queen, it doesn't matter who wins the all-around.
@seese54367 You mean today or before? o.o
Before was Khorkina, now is Mustafina
edgar fuentes no, even though Mustafina is good, she lacks of artistry, grace and elegance that Khorkina has
anastasia lesenkia Yup,also Mustafina's attitude towards her teammates is still better and her sportsmanship.
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.
I have this song. Not the actual, but the cut version.
Hey Komova that's how you cover up a bad landing
how many olympics has she gone to? shes got to be really talented to go to more then 2
she's AMAZING on the floor, esp. for her height, please show a video of yourself doing better
Exacto es Adios Adios Amor pero la verdad ni idea de como se llame este instrumental!
LOVE her , hate the blowing kisses choreography.
ohhh right right..hehe..i stand corrected...wait, I write corrected..waaah!
She's not as short as most gymnasts but she's still only 5'4". She just looks giant in comparison to girls who are barely 5'0".
Такая тоненькая красотулечка
first part of the music sounds like the music in the background in a clothes shop or in a lift :P
