  Kim Zmeskal
Kim Zmeskal will always be remembered for her guts and determination as she stared down her demons and learned there was much more to life than gold medals and product endorsements.
Kim's greatest asset however was her ability to focus during critical moments.
Kim held national and international medals in several reputation building events, and in September of 1991 at the age of fifteen, she was the first American, man or woman, to win the All-Around title at the World Gymnastics Championships (V-9.962, UB-9.937, BB-9.962, FX-9.987).

  Biography of US Gymnast Kim Zmeskal - Associated Content
Zmeskal began gymnastics at six years of age when she began classes at a new school opened in her home city by none other than Bela Karolyi (who would come to become the most famous gymnastics coach the world has known).
Zmeskal, it seems, had been suffering from a stress fracture in her ankle, but was determined to compete in the Olympics nonetheless.
Four years later, at 20 years of age, Zmeskal was poised for a comeback and qualified once again for the Olympics, landing a spot on the 1996 team along with many of her other students at Karolyi's gym.

Zmeskal, some of her expenses paid by the USGF, works out here during the summer and occasionally on the weekends the rest of the year.
She was invited by the coach to join in, and Kim took to the sport as if born to it.
Zmeskal listened to the criticisms — that her routines and dismounts lacked a high degree of difficulty — and quietly determined to prove her detractors wrong.

Zmeskal persevered gallantly in Barcelona, even when all was assuredly lost, and that unrelenting sportsmanship became the mark she would leave on the gymnastics world - certainly more than the bronze medal she won in the team competition.

Zmeskal failed to shake Boguinskaya's during the vaulting awards ceremony.
Then, if one watched carefully enough on NBC, you saw Kim Zmeskal go over to Boguinskaya at the end of Bogie's last routine of all-arounds to give her a kiss on each cheek (which wasn't "required" as it wasn't on the awards stand).
Svetlana was booed and all for not shaking hands that day and supposedly Kim did the same to her the previous day.

Subject: Re: Kim "Fat Thunder Thighs" Zmeskal I am SO glad I would not have to date any of you rude ignorant people that think that because you have legs that are bigger than the "norm", thighs bigger than the "norm", or any other body part bigger than the "norm" you are fat.
Zmeskal is larger than many other gymnasts, but that does not make her less of a person.
And Kim is hardly the girl to use as the poster child of bone density, as the body she was left with at the end of her first career was far from healthy.

 Gymn Forum: Gymn Digest, 2 September 1992
In addition to all the comments on AA vs event gymnasts, one more reason that Zmeskal might not have done as well in the event finals is that she was up third in the compulsory round in the 91 Worlds while Miller was up 6th.
At Paris, Kim was the only one hit her beam routine, and also she upgraded her floor routine and hit it.
Actually Kim and Boginskaya were the only two hit all their routines during AA competitions in 91 World's, and they were equally good at all events but with different styles.

Subject: Kim Zmeskal In reference to this never-ending Zmeskal issue: At the 1998 ERA Champs (one of Kim's many professional performances) I not only watched Kim work out, compete, but I also talked with her.
To hear so many people put in their two cents worth is so damaging to the sport in general, to Kim, and for whomever else trying to make a comeback.
Subject: Re: Kim Zmeskal I have stayed out of this petty arguement so far, because as far as I am concerned, as long as Kim is healthy, it is not my concern what her weight is. I find her fun to watch, and cheer for her comeback.
