Things I Want to Know 2

February 22, 2008 by northernriver

Feel free to answer all, some, or none, in the comments.

1. If Boguinskaya is the Goddess and Khorkina is the Diva, then who’s the Queen?

2. Will we see Anna Pavlova (RUS) in Beijing?

3. Does Gina Gogean’s escargot taste good (she farms snails)?

4. Where in the world is Ionela Loaies (ROM)?

5. Does Nastia Liukin really use spray-tan or is it the camera’s fault?

6. Has anyone other than Zamolodchikova moonwalked on floor?

1. Liudmila Tourisheva

2. Probably. Russia has a tendency to have a lot of injured gymnasts prior to the Olympics. She could possibly be one of the final ones standing.

3. Escargot is gross, no matter who farms it.

4. Who cares? She’s probably coaching in the U.S. somewhere.

5. She lives in Texas. The sun is really bright there. That said, it is sprayed on, most definitely.

6. Dianne Durham, 1983 (I think).

I think Khorkina IS the queen, not necessarily just the diva.

1. Nadia and Lilia take turns wearing the Queen crown
2. I hope so
3. garlic always helps
4. sorry, can’t help
5. well, that explains alot…..
6. could anyone other than Zamo pull it off?

6. I’m not sure about floor, but Nikki Childs at Georgia moonwalks in her balance beam routine.

I think comaneci will be the forever queen of gymnastics, but I personally love Lilia. She didn’t have that self-righteous sense as it is with Khorkina (think sydney and her ripping off the silver medal asap, which makes her a perfect diva)
