  • i wish they would bring back the traditional uneven bars. it was so much more interesting to watch. when the gymnasts beat the bars (stomach whips), it was absolutely beautiful and the combinations that came out of those were so pretty.

  • Those must've been some amazing times back in 72 & 76,

    to see Olga light up the stadium with her personality & to watch Nadia wow the audience with her performances.

see all

  • @svetaswan what woman dosnt dye their hair? catch up- maybe you have by now honey . UGGGHH

  • @willsbob123 - gymnastics would be easy today aswell if they took away all the comforts (they didnt have them back then did they)

  • @LMA629

    so did Korbut

    in 1976

  • mukhina did a full in on the old crappy floors they had?? impressive

  • @coffeecub can you imagine how painful those stomach whips must've been though?

  • why isn't there a part 3??

  • i always love watching old gymnastics...for some reason today's gymnastics don't make me say, 'wow." There seems to be little emotion; it seems more robot-like.

  • I love how easy gymnastics was in those days, only wish it was like that now. But as for Valerie Liukin performing a triple back on that floor, wow!

  • @Sublue actually I think they do less crazy stuff nowadays then in the 70s because of all the moves that are illegal ^^; Which is a good thing for the athletes, for their safety...less amazing to watch though eheh

  • Is there a part 3?
