@mostepanovafan i love all your videos, bud! exposed me to a lot of gymnastics i didn't know about. you must like the full twisting layout on beam, because you chose two routines with that. i love doudniks beam - she's AMAZING. and i tend to cringe on yang bo's full twisting swing down. AWESOME. what're your thoughts on moceanus 1996 team optional? or oksana omelianchik's 1985 euro beam routine. personal favs. i'm not ragging on you for not including them tho. to each his own. :c)
It's just that I don't think that number 2's 3 leap row would have counted... I hope it did but it wasn't quite split. That might have been acceptable then. But she is an amazing gymnast with a gorgeous routine (well they all are:))
Does anybody else think that the move starting about 1:45 or 1:47 is completely amazing? I've never seen that before or since. It looks really difficult. And painful.
@kayper54 Yes! I was thinking the same thing! I just tried that and completely failed. How'd she get so on her toes and balanced with the other foot kicking forward? I'd make that like a D in the CoP, haha!
@demc67 She retired with a knee injury after the 1990 french international and she lost her parents after the chernobyl nuclear disaster. Now she lives with her son in Cairo, Egypt and coaches gymnastics at the Al Gezeera Sporting Club. She also lost her husband in 2004.
while dudnik had great acrobatics her artistry is just not up to par with the others in this video. I wouldn't have ranked her ahead of Qui. She can't even do a full split leap.
old routines were MUCH more artistic....but i still enjoy the new gymnastics we have now. that last routine from the china cup was FREAKY!....freaky amazing!
omgshh all of them were amazing! my fav starts are the one with the vaults and somersaults and twists in the air gymnasts back them were more thinner and therefore more flexible so its usually more beautiful, nowadays its all about power and lots of gymnasts hav loads of muscle!! thats why i love nastia liukin :)
Do you happen to know how much the last gymnast received for her routine? It was absolutely stunning! She was so nimble and solid in her movements - not a wobble to be seen. :O
The quality of Grozdova's video makes her look like she's glowing...and the routine itself was otherworldly! Except for maybe that little tuck stand kick deal...which makes more sense if you've been exposed to Russian fok dance...
It always flabbergasts me watching such amazing gymnasts. It interesting how, like Olessia, her saltos on beam are flawless and yet with a simple tuck jump or full turn, she wobbles.
@SonyaNatalia i was going to say the same thing.artistic gymnastics isnt very artistic anymore.its just about power not so much as grace.everything used to be so graceful, now people forgot about the grace that used to be gymastics.grace is what this sport i suposed to be known for not so much as power.
Their routines are amazing, I could never do that but they all look ten years old, and the second chick looked five! I know that they have be small to do the routines well but I just can't beleive how tiny they are. I wish I could do this but their size puts into perspective that I would never be able to (I'm 5'8" and still growing)
@mitsuchan325 What an ignorant, rude thing to say. I understand what you probably meant, but referring to people as children and chicks because they're short or not white is annoying as hell. It reminds me of that commenter who once referred to Bai Chunyue as an 'it'.
hi Mostepanovafan, since you listed out other favourites who didnt make the top 5 list of your ub and fx favourite lists, i wonder if you have other favourites who didnt quite make it to your top 5 of balance beam list?
older gymnastics was so much more graceful and beautiful to watch, these days, the girls only focus on who has the hardest moves and end up being rigid and not having fun!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the gymnastics officials apologized for underscoring Kui Yuanyuan's routine that year?...If not, I don't know what they're waiting for...that's one of the reasons the new Code of Points was created...to avoid those types of "mistakes"...(clearly Gogean didn't deserve first...maybe she didn't even deserve to be in the top 3)...
@edelamm gogean shouldn't have even been in the finals at 97 worlds nor at the 96 olympics...a routine like that, whether it's hit perfectly, wins a medal especially a gold is such a gift from the judges
i loved grosdovas routine it was so artistic...i think the music really helped to enhance it and i loved the pirouettes she did on her hands around 40 secs
# 2 and 1 were excellent routines! The chinese girl did a wonderful landing. I also thought that her flexibility was amazing! I am really happy with your choices!
has anyone noticed that the way gymnastics is performed has changed over the course of only 20 years. The difference between the 1983 routine and the 1997 routine is so different. In 1983 the routine was more graceful and flowing and the other one is quicker and more jerkey movment. I like the way gymnastics used to be. More like dancing.
doesnt mean that they r the best. besides, its her opinion, and shes probobly more knowing about gymnastics than u. i dont know any die hard gymnastics fans that would think they r the best either...
but, i guess ur entitled to ur opinion too, just try not to dis others
Why wasn't Grosdova in beam finals at the 1976 Olympics? She was AWESOME for her day! I love all of these routines-all are my favorites as well. Amongst the greatest beamers of all time.
i love the fact that you chose a lot of routines that wouldn't be considered cliche. awesome variety like the elements in the routines you chose. i also love how you chose yang bo. the best form out of any gymnast ever on beam, unfortunately she never really got it together at the really big championships like worlds and olympics.
WOW!WOW! im level 8 guy gymnast. but that was truly amazing! I wish they did that kinda difficult stuff now!not saying the routines arent hard at all.. but you knw what I mean! the 1st routine. was ok. but from the 4th down to the 1st routines were jst AMAZING!! thnx soo so much4 posting this vid! and almost all your others!! thnx and byebye! :)
OMG totally agree with your first choice it was so beautifull to watch but still really exciting! Its only since the last olympics that ive really got into gymnastics and so ive mostly only seen the modern gymnasts, but i love watching all these old ones on youtube, there so beautifull! I just dont understand why they cant still do ruitines like these today, but throw in some hrdr tumbles instead! Does any 1 no what sort of A scores these ruitines would get now?
That is a frequently asked question. Moste did not ask the FIG (Federation Internationale de Gymnastique) to name it after her in their Code of Points, and so they did not do so. Onodi did.
wow u do a fabulous job on these videos.and i agree with moosies66 because gymnastics was so pretty and now the judges like to see stiff little robots. thats why i like nastia.
The older routines are so beautifull, they were more like dances than skills chucked in with random disjointed dance. Also Gymnasts used to have much better lines, not in all cases but in generall more emphasis was put in the beauty of lines and pointed toes, now its more about power and really hard tricks.
That first routine was magic. I've never seen anything so beautiful on beam.

The first one was a display, a show.

The older routines are so beautifull, they were more like dances than skills chucked in with random disjointed dance. Also Gymnasts used to have much better lines, not in all cases but in generall more emphasis was put in the beauty of lines and pointed toes, now its more about power and really hard tricks.
