OMELIANCHIK-87 WORLDS-AA-FLOOR-triple twist punch front!

THE GREAT OKSANA OMELIANCHIK PERFORMING A GREAT FLOOR EXERCISE STILL AS CHARISMATIC AS EVER-ITS A SHAME SHE NEVER MADE THE 1988 OLYMPIC TEAM. SHE OBVIOUSLY ENJOYED HER GYMNASTICS WHICH WAS RARE IN THE STRICT RUSSIAN GYMS OF THE 1980'S PLEASE TAKE TIME TO LEAVE A COMMENT AND RATING-THANKS

Well, thanks to Nelli Kim, you ain't gonna see dancing like this in a gymnastics routine too soon. The new COP does reward the risk-taking athletes, but it completely kills the joy of the sport.

This is one of my all-time favorite routines-right up there with Oksana's "Birdie". :)

Silivas looks envious! As it should be!

tripple twist into a front sommersault? in 87? wow

[TheSienna29]

Beautiful dance and HARD tumbling! It's a travesty that Omelianchik, Olessiya Dudnik and Tatiana Groshkova never made and Olympic team. 3 of the most talented gymnasts ever.

In my opinion, She is the best floor worker and no one can never beats her. She's the one and only.:-)

@hinginator

Omelianchik isn't russian

[LaVoix555]

This was fabulous! Pity she didn't make it to the Olympics!

@haleusca Dance? you mean when she runs across the entire mat just to do a split leap and then stands in a pose while the music builds? Lol? Can one teach that?

[faeryquene]

@flygirlamyb ITA! I will forever feel despite some naysayers that Omelianchik was utterly robbed of a chance at an Olympic medal. It was an incredible insult to such a talent when the Soviets made her an alternate to the '88 Games. :(

@faeryquene in loved that routine too but i hated the music, the "birdie" chirps were pretty annoying 

[flygirlamyb]

My favorite gymnast of ALL time! She was so creative, so charismatic, and such a pioneer for the sport! She was my childhood idol! I tried to copy all of her unique skills at the gym!
