Innovations of the 80s Gymnastics Montage

Innovations of the 1980s. Moves that were created then. It's so weird cos loads of them are high ranking today, and you don't see many people doing full twisting double straights on floor and full twisting tkatchevs and stuff.

[Mastergymnast1]

Guys/gals who is that @ 2:32 and does that change to low bar have a name? Thanks for responding. Seth

[MunchTheSilivasFan]

@Mastergymnast1 Lori Strong of Canada. The move is named the Strong after her.

[austriafan9]

who's performing that beautiful vault at 3:36, and how is the move called ?

[MunchTheSilivasFan]

@austriafan9 that is Oksana Omelianchik of USSR at 1987, and the vault is named after her, so that's the piked Omelianchik

Tracee Talavera flair on beam

Kelly Garrison Steves round off layout full mount to beam, Kristi Philips mount, to beam

Julianne McNamara mount on bars,

all the US gymnasts innovations are shown being done by foreign gymnasts!

I actually think routines are cleaner now then in the 80's.. if you watch bars .. you'll see that moves from high to low are off in the straddle kips .. plus the hip circle on the beam drives me nuts yuck. I definitely think that gymnastics in the 80s was more creative and artistic.

@MANMARTRE lol damn go head with the nastics knowladge

[desglacons]

Great vid. Yes the American's innovations are left out.

[bernardmvella]

I think the best period of gymnastics execution wise was between 88-96... After that it sort of turned to shit. Artistry wise the 70's/early 80's still wins.

I just realized that alot of people who do gymnastics back then stick their dismount more often.

1:47 to 2:09 was included in a recent Cheer Extreme routine, I recognize the words :)
