  Title:	Bounding Geometry of Loops in Alexandrov Spaces
  Abstract:	Two basic geometric invariants of a loop in an n-dimensional Alexandrov space X with curvature \geq k is the length and the total turning angle (which measures the closeness from being a geodesic). We show that either the length or the total turning angle can be bounded from below in terms of n, k, the diameter and the rough volume of X. This generalizes and improves some well known results.
