Olga Mostepanova: It's Your Story

Olga did not have a fairy tale career, and is remembered for many things that were out of her control, including age falsification, the 1984 boycott, and the "injuries" that kept her and Irina Baraksanova out of the all around in 1985, but in my opinion, Olga, at her peak in 1983 and 1984, was the epitome of 1980s gymnastics.
It's been way too long since I've made a montage to a super obscure Lifehouse song, and I've been wanting to make a montage of Olga for awhile. I thought that this one fit her well, especially the "strangled truth, stolen youth" lines.
This song happens to be called "Eighties"

This is beautiful. I was wondering if you were planning on making an Ana Porgras montage now that she has (unfortunately) retired?

I made one and it's uploading now. I had a hard time picking the correct music, but I've wanted to use the song I ended up using for awhile, so I just went for it :)

Could you imagine doing bars without the wide-spreaders? I actually practiced them that way when I was in junior high.

Thanks for making this video...Olga was such a beautiful gymnast with such amazing grace, beauty, strength and skill! Seemingly effortless!
