1976 USSR Cup. For the women, Nelli Kim won it, but Korbut did so well she seemed to have made the biggest impact. And Tourischeva took what may have been the most humiliating fall of her career (and the funniest).

  • Tourischeva was SO out of shape at that point, coming off injury, but she surely got it together for the Olympics later that year. As we see in this footage, Latynina might otherwise have been the better choice for the team.

  • I especially like Rastorotsky's reaction to the fall. 

  • The magnificent Soviet gymnasts! The stoic but very captivating Ludmila Tourischeva. That looked to be a devastating fall on bars! So rare to see her fall. Olga's very technical and acrobatic bar routine was still very artistic and mesmerizing. A young Alexander Dityatin honing his craft, 4 years away from turning in one of the most amazing AA performances in Moscow.
