...reality check... it was pretty back then, the gymnasts were smarter and didn't focus as much on fitting lots of elements into a minute 30 and being as skinny as possible. they tried to match thier routines to the music. it was actually art...

i cant believe back then they had someone playing the piano for the routine music. that must have beem stressful for the piano player to come to every practice having to play the same song over and over again 3 hrs or more a day.

@KDJY4 not the rg floor is just a carpet so the gymnasts have to create their heightness by themselves, in my opinion that's why the have better leaps than AG

one of the first routines i ever saw back in the days was galina's ball routine and it had me glued to the TV, i recorded the competition and watched her over and over, it was magic and it still is

thanks for posting

If you can't see the beauty in this, than go to hell.

I love piano

but rg nowadays lacks: apparatus handling, expression, precision, perhaps even technique as not everybody has decent pirouettes or balances.

thats nothing caompared to the elements we do now. rg is so much harder now.
