Valeri Liukin wins the Subrau Open 1993

He's a cowboy, he's a caveman, he's a spaceman, he's a spy, he's going to Mardi Gras, he wins, he do this first time. One of the first professional gymnastics competitions.

The sound is a bit out of sync on the origonal tape.

Thanks for this video! Do you have Bilozerchev's performances? I'd like to see them.

[NewMJ]

I have the whole show but don't feel like putting the whole thing up, and I don't own it.

ROFL, this is pretty cool. but is it supposed to be like the tour of gymnastics superstars kinda thing?

[NewMJ]

Yup, to my knowledge this was one of the very first events of its time.

[CelloRosin]

I think it is more like the Resse's Cup.

[NewMJ]

As far as I can tell this became the Reeses Cup but this was the first of these events in 1993.

okay, don't judge me, but does no one else think he is amazingly good looking here???

:D

[MajahetBijtje]

ROTFLMAO!!! Great performance!

[brunettekoala]

I'm guessing this is the competition Valeri entered to help him and Yevgeny get the money to start up WOGA?

[marieked]

There was no vault at this for either men or women.

[marieked]

he works there with him now yes, in 1993 they did not have WOGA yet!

[TsubasaDreams]

So that's where Nastia gets her artistry and presentation from!

[gymshiv2]

wha? i though Yevgeny was just a friend, doesnt he work alongside valeri at woga now?

[nastrocksxd18]

what about vault?

[GymnasticsAddict]

I wonder what Nastia thought when she(if he even let her) saw this! Ahahahaha, wow. That was a little creepy at first, but I totally loved it. Who would have thought Valeri had a funny side like THIS?

I miss professional gymnastics competitions/random gymnastics exhibitions.  Same goes for figure skating. I totally agree with your sentiment - it helps with the creative/artistic/performance side of both sports.
