Talk:Olga Korbut

message: This is a pretty hefty accusation. This is a bio of a living person, and since Korbut was not convicted,nor does the source say she was convicted, I can't see that this is worth notice,and furthermore is damaging. I'd like to delete this.(-- olive (talk) 21:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion of "shoplifting" 

message: Korbut has revealed quite a bit about her relationship with her former coach throughout the years. For example, Korbut has claimed that days before the 1972 Munich Games, her coach Renald Knysh raped her after getting her sufficiently drunk on cognac. Knysh, of course, denies it. While there were no witnesses, Korbut's former teammate Elvira Saadi has said that Korbut confided in her about the incident. 
Korbut also claims that Knysh was quite abusive and hit her, even slapping her across the face in front of the entire class. Korbut later lied to her parents about her bruises, saying she fell off the beam. Knysh also denied hitted her until finally admitting to it when former classmates recalled the incident. Now, these are all quite shocking revelations, and before I add anything I'm wondering whether her claims should be mentioned anywhere on the article or not? --71.112.145.102 (talk) 06:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that was one of the reasons why she left big sport so early. This is described in book "KGB plays in chess", for example. Her coach was recruited by the KGB as informer to "watch" after her, and he used this to his advantage. Of course he did not write about his abuse in reports to KGB superiors.

message: In case it wasn't clear,  is associated with Ms. Korbut. I have been coaching him on COI and the like, so any substantive changes to the article will be requested, not made directly. Please be nice and help him out if he makes any requests here. I have asked him to contribute some images, under CC-by-SA, which will improve the article.

message: This article (as well as the article for Korbut flip) asserts that the Korbut flip is now banned. While this is mentioned in one of the sources cited, that source is a CNN article that asserts that this was a change in the Olympic Code of Points, a document that I can't seem to find (I found a junior olympic code of points, but I am not particularly familiar with gymnastic code of points notations and couldn't find evidence that the move was banned). Because I can't prove the negative, I wanted to open this up for discussion, here and on Korbut flip. Ideally, someone with better knowledge of academic/official gymnastics documentation could provide a conclusive source.Rosguill (talk) 05:20, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
