Yekaterina Vandisheva - 1993 European Cup AA - Balance Beam

Wow that was incredible, even with the fall, so innovative and creative. She really has a traditional Ukraine/Russian style.

Beautiful gymnastics from a wonderful gymnast who came and went without, sadly, the recognition she deserved. I wonder what happened to her? More than likely an injury put paid to her career far too prematurely:( Its a shame she fell on that gainer Mostepanova; there is footage of her warming up on beam and she lands it perfectly:( She actually reminds me a LOT of Olga Mostepanova with the wonderful toepoint and amazing extension and amplitude.

She fell? I'll have to go back and watch again because I was just so captivated by her work. *Gymgasm

[GymnasticsAddict]

Ahhhh! I've always wanted to see someone perform a gainer onodi! Too bad she fell! I'd love to see that skill nowadays, it would really stand out. That was great.

What a shame she couldn't make it through the quad. She was the best the Russians had!

[No1ZmeskalFan]

What happened to this girl? I never heard of here before I just watched this. Shes FAB!

[LaVoix555]

@No1ZmeskalFan that first series was unbelievable!

[SilivasGold]

holy shit!!! was that a GAINER Onodi/Mostepanova she fell on?!?! I've never heard of anyone ever even attempting such a skill!

[mowill50]

She reminds me of a cross between Irina Baraksanova and Natalia Kalinina.

I'll add Mostepanova and that is THE most perfect combination possible. Immense.

reminds me off oxana liapina a little bit

[porky7369]

Similar buuild to Liapina - but much cleaner and nicer to watch
