[deborah9541]

Superb montage - VERY clever and must have taken lots of research! One of the best gymnastics videos on Youtube - and I've watched A LOT!!!

It's amazing to see this incredible art define through the decades, each little thing has developed into something so much more precise.

[garyj79]

respect to the gymnasts performing these skills in the 70's! the equipment was not up to par with what they have today so its even more clever........

[spudmonkey31]

urvids r kool,wot does subscribe mean sorry im only 9.

[kiwigymnast16]

this is a beautiful montage!

[mygymchannel1]

We should respect them all, cause gymnastics is harder than shit. But I prefer the seventies to today. I prefer 1988-2000 overall.

[LMA629]

also a lot of the '70s footage are of nadia comaneci and she was the best of the best back then. not many other '70s gymnasts were performing the same skills as her

[reallyoldfan]

@LMA629 I wonder if you might be confusing Comaneci with other Romanians in many of these clips, particularly Eberle, who was quite the trickster, and even some Soviets who wore very similar leotards to what Comaneci often wore.

[garyj79]

@LMA629 - not many were you are correct, however some were starting to out do Nadia in terms of difficulty by the end of the decade......the soviets were always more artistic than Nadia on floor (but blame the choreographers there from Romania, all theyre girls had hideous routines including Nadia)

[LMA629]

although gymnasts today perform some of the same skills they were doing back then, those skills are now among the easier ones today. there are so many skills performed commonly today that nobody was doing back then

[NYCBlonde]

Very interesting montage, thanks!

[cymraegambyth]

I love how similar the leos are of the 2 girls doing a stalder full turn at 1:00! Great montage as usual!

[zami12]

i think that the differebce is the technique people from now have better technique but people from back then had a this unexplainable beauty

[vesperholly]

Is that Olga Korbut at 3:15? I'm terrible with old videos!

Great montage. Love your music choice as always.

[MostepanovaFan]

It was actually Maria Filatova at the 1977 Europeans

[MySportsFanatic]

What's the point of this montage? It's not proving anything it's just people back then doing the same skills as people nowadays...

[MostepanovaFan]

That is the point of the montage

[MySportsFanatic]

Then why is the title "70 Vs now" that means the 70's versus now, if the point of the montage is that they're just doing the same skills then they're not versing each other...

[MostepanovaFan]

The "point" of this montage is to show that although people often say that gymnastics in the 70s was simple, todays top gymnasts are still doing the same skills and combinations now. I could have called it "gymnasts now doing the same skills as gymnasts in the 70s gymnastics montage" but I decided not to. And generally my montages aren't trying to prove a point anyway.

[gymlovr828]

@MostepanovaFan It kinda sucks that back then, this stuff was considered very dangerous and now these skills are simple. some done in level 9... :)

[TandooriChickenGym]

@MostepanovaFan Those 70s moves are now being done by juniors (even novices and lower level gymnasts).

[JLFAN2009]

@MostepanovaFan Indeed: I've always thought of the 1970's as the major turning point in women's gymnastics -- in terms of difficulty. There's no doubt that the sport in the 1960's and prior was a complete joke -- with gymnasts performing moves that those today could (almost literally) do in their sleep.

[gymnast937]

awesomeee(:

who is that one girl, she looks about 7 or 8! she has little pig-tail looking things in..

I am very curious to see who she is..

[HailieNichole1995]

@gymnast937 Maria Filatova or Natalia Shaposhnikova

[gymnast937]

@HailieNichole1995 The one thats at 1:35 ish.

[HailieNichole1995]

@gymnast937 It looks like Emilia Eberle of Romania, but I could be mistaken.

[mrsTorrard88]

@gymnast937 if you are talking about the girl at 3:15 thats Maria Filatova

[lswalling]

it is a great video please enter it in my contect please

[cliroue]

very very very great supeer job! ; )

i love the music!

[missjpace]

This is great! Truly a unique montage. Nice to see some different ideas!

[damyolympic]

Awesome!!!!  =)

[vespertined]

I love the music choice, breezy with a touch of melancholy. Sometimes the darker songs show the difficulty of the sport in a more emotionally satifsying way. It's not all smiles and andrenaline.

Excellent montage!

[cjcamargo]

As usual, another awesome job!!! Thanks for sharing this.

[panicandfoblvr]

great video! also another difference between the 70's and now, is video quality! lol.

[labsjoao]

I really enjoyed this. Nice to see how those difficult moves were perfected as time went by.

[alexzjay]

Deltchev!! So gorgeous. And AGAIN beautiful music.

[LiveBreatheLoveGym]

[Athlete065]

[amaihito]

[gemarno]

bien vu !

très interessant

[Ruffian144]

Moste, the picture quality of the 70's gymnasts is amazingly good! How do you do it? I don't think vhs even existed back then. Thanks again for another terrific montage.

[Dahlia22273]

What is this song?

[schill2002]

It's called '74-'75 by The Connells.

Really obscure, but cool song choice btw M-Fan :-)
