Vladimer Omarovich "Lado" Gogoladze (Russian: Влади́мир Ома́рович Гогола́дзе, Georgian: ვლადიმერ გოგოლაძე; born 18 August 1966), is a retired Georgian gymnast.
Gogoladze began competing at the elite level in 1985, at the age of 18,[1] taking silver medals in the all-around and high bar in the USSR Championships, and bronze medals at the European Championships in the all-around and parallel bars.[2]
He was a member of the Soviet "Dream Team" who won the team gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, and he is also known for being the first gymnast to perform a triple back on floor in the Olympics.[3] In the same year, he received the title Honored Master of Sports of the USSR.[4]
According to a report in Sovietsky Sport, Gogoladze and teammate Dmitri Bilozerchev were removed from the Soviet men's squad for the 1989 World Championships because of a two-day drinking binge.[5]
Gogoladze has two elements named after him. The first is a straddled Healy twirl on parallel bars. The second, on floor exercise, is a flair or circle to handstand, then continuing to flair or circle; this element is frequently performed and remains in the current Code of Points.[6]
Gogoladze now coaches at Gymnastics World in Ohio.
