It is good seeing Olga Korbut in a better place. I hope she is really happy.

Watching Olga Korbut when I was little gave me a sense that children and teens, can excel in a sport they love. She opened the door for many gymnasts like Nadia C., Mary-Lou R., Shannon M., Nastia L., Shawn J., and many more. All these gymnasts worked hard and with pride. Thank you Olga, and thanks for the video.

And some of the moves she did were so damn difficult and dangerous they're banned now. And some of her floor moves were so artistic, they won't even let the girls do them today.

Cool. It's great to see Olga still a prominent figure in gymnastics world-wide.

I'm glad Olga is in a much better place (emotionally) now. The time she spent training for the Olympics were tumultuous, despite winning 3 medals at Munich. I'm just happy for her that she's able to capitalize off her Olympic accomplishments while also helping up and coming gymnasts.

I so agree with you. For a bit there, things just were not going right for her. Glad things have turned 'round for her. She looks so happy in this clip. She was my idol for gymnastics.

It's good to see Olga Korbut doing well these days. She is my one and only favourite gymnast. Her charm and daring move at the 72 Munich Olympic will forever stay on.
