Oksana Chusovitina 1989 Cottbus International EF FX

Yes, this is the one and only Oksana Chusovitina in her first Cottbus Cup performing her floor exercise routine in the event finals. She wins the silver medal.

This year (19 years later) at the Cottbus Cup she won a gold medal in the vault finals and a bronze medal in the beam finals. What a gymnast!

Bitch, please. Learn something.

OMG, she is here 14:O So Good!!

[backflipboy27]

Soooooo not true. It's cool that she adds a back handspring after everything but that does not make the routine more difficult than what we see today. Oksana currently does a full twisting double layout and in the recent past she did split leg double layout to punch front. Pretty much every top floor routine is more difficult than this by far.

This routine is more difficult than what they do nowadays on floor. Frankly women's gymnastics is crap now especially compared to the men's. Once it was great and gymnasts dared try more and more difficult elements.
