My favorite Russian RG ...

Russia 12 Clubs WC 1989 Sarajevo
This choreography was brilliant. Choreography by Dmitri Begak! It told a story, it had a purpose, it was beautiful! This was my last competition as a gymnast and i remember when I saw this at warm up... Amazing. I remember thinking these girls were amazon women. They were really tall and intimidating. I remember they were the same hight as us (Bulgaria) standing on 1st place podium , while they were standing on the second place... It was funny, we looked like little kids next to them!

ANNA KOTCHNEVA
Honestly I can say that she took my breath away! When I saw this routine Live at the 87 WC I was a little girl and I was in the stands!  I remember the chill that I felt when I watched this woman. She was a Goddess! She was absolutely captivating. I was and still am such a big fan of hers! Inspiring! I still get goose bumps watching this and I think the choreography and technique, performance and music is PERFECTION!

The coach/choreographer for the 1989 group , Olga Morozova, lives in LA now. She does kids theatre now rather than deal with the whole RG world. Too bad since she was brilliant.

Sorry, so Dmitri Begak was the choreographer not Olga Morozova. He is a well known choreographer and had a "special relationship" with Olga Morozova ;)
She is a specialist who I respect very much. Glad she's not wasting her time with RG ...

Woops, yeah she and Begak worked together a lot and had some sort of theatre running in Moscow. Olga herself is a fantastic choreographer and worked with the Soviet AG team and she choreographed for the fabulous Boginskaya and Strazheva. She also was the personal coach of Elena Shamatulskaya (excellent Russian/Belarussian gymnast) and then continued to choreograph for her after she switched to Krylenko.

Kochneva is also out of the RG scene and who can blame her when she lives in a mansion, drives a Mercedes (while her husband drives a Porsche), and has a business empire to run.
