The Erasure of Svetlana Khorkina from the COP
Svetlana Khorkina, a legendary Russian gymnast, had an illustrious career marked by her passion for innovation and originality in gymnastics. Throughout her decade-long career, she won 20 individual world and Olympic medals and 14 European ones, including two gold medals on uneven bars at the Atlanta and Sydney Olympics. Despite her significant contributions to the sport, half of her eight named skills were removed from the code of points, possibly due to changes implemented by Nelly Kim, who became president of the women's artistic gymnastics technical committee in 2004. This removal has sparked controversy and discussions about the preservation of gymnastic legacies. The video highlights the importance of acknowledging Khorkina's contributions to the sport despite any controversies surrounding her.
