About Galina Beloglazova

Born 1967. Galina Beloglazova is a Russian rhythmic gymnast.

Galina Beloglazova (; born June 10, 1967, in Astrakhan, Soviet Union) is a Soviet individual rhythmic gymnast. She was the 1983 World All-around silver medalist and the 1984 European All-around champion.

Career Beloglazova began training at just 5 years old under Ludmila Tichomirova, who would coach the talented gymnast throughout her career. She emerged onto the international scene at the traditional Intervision Cup in Cottbus GDR in1980 where as she placed first as a junior. As a senior, she was chosen as the alternate to the Soviet team at the 1982 European Championships, but her performance in practice impressed her coaches so much that they put the 15-year-old in the competition lineup. She wound up 7th in the all-around and qualified to two event finals. Beloglazova would soon be among the leading Soviet gymnasts of the 1980s along with Marina Lobatch, Tatiana Druchinina, and Dalia KutkaitÄ—.

In 1983, Beloglazova nearly won the 1983 World Championship title, which upset the Bulgarian team. If not for a drop on the very last note of her clubs exercise, Beloglazova would have defeated Bulgarian gymnast Diliana Guerguieva. Instead, she tied for silver and won three more medals in apparatus finals (gold with ball and ribbon and silver with hoop). Most impressively, she counted four perfect 10s in the event competition.

Beloglazova is remarried and has been living in the United States since October 2012.
