Beautiful; ballet on a balance beam. Gorgeous routine.

I know that this routine may look really lame in today's standards, but she exhibits grace, style and something special. Cross mix with Lilia Podkayeva and Svetlana Boginskaya/Korkina.

Love the grace.

турищева-королева гимнастики навсегда. она царствовала на помосте 10 лет и каждый год она усложняла свои программы. это было под силу только ей. и в 24 ее программы были намного сложнее, чем в 16 лет. и какая красота, какая грация, какая сила духа, стойкости, преданности!!! преклоняюсь! после нее гимнастика не такая, что-то очень важное ушло!

You can see some of these skills in the 1996 Olympic beam compulsories. Ludmilla choreographed it. The elite gymnasts had a surprisingly difficult time with the forward rolls.

@totallytivo well they weren't normal forward rolls they were forward rolls on one shoulder but i agree they did have a hard time with them

[Elemarth]

I love her rolls and straddle. Everything she does looks so slow. So different from today.

Very simple routine of Tourischeva in Balance Beam.

What a star! All the "experts" said that Turischeva was far too tall to be a successful gymnast.........probably the same experts who claim that "bees can't possibly fly......."
