Anna Pavlova is a gymnast who has competed for Russia. She competed at the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
Pavlova helped the Russian women salvaged a podium spot with a bronze in the team all-around at her first Olympics in 2004. She added a bronze in the vault but a critical mistake on the balance beam cost her another medal, finishing fourth behind Alexandra Eremia by more than a tenth of a point. Moreover, she denied another podium spot in the individual all-around by a fraction of a score (0.025) and an outstanding balance beam feat from the Chinese challenger Zhang Nan.
The Beijing 2008 turned into a deception for Pavlova as she could not recapture her most graceful form from the previous Games. When she reached the Olympic finals on the all-around events (individual and team), vault, balance beam, and floor, she failed to attain a single medal in either of them. She narrowly missed a podium spot for the second time on the balance beam by a 0.05-point margin behind the home crowd favorite Cheng Fei of China. She fared poorly on the floor exercise and scored a zero on the second vault by a false start.
