Not only was Keleti an amazing athlete of her time, her story is so inspirational. Agnes was set to be on the Hungarian team at the 1940 Olympics, but both the '40 and '44 Games were canceled due to World War II. As she was Jewish, she was forced to go into hiding to survive the war by posing as a Christian maid. Her father died in Auschwitz, and her mother and sister went into hiding.
The fact that Agnes was able to survive was amazing, never mind that she won so many Olympic and World medals.

I don't think shaving was to popular in a lot of European counties in the 40s and 50s...My grandmother has some skating tapes from the
80s and some of the Soviets didn't shave then either. Not sure when they started over there though.

It's almost like a combo of High bar, P-Bars, with a pommel-horse-style dismount. Very cool.
P.S.--Boy do I hate stem rises!!! For some reason, they were so much harder than a regular short kip for me.
