Kuchinskaya is a legend. That is a superb beam routine for the age. (She's in blue and a modified beehive btw). Thank you so much for posting this awesome documentary!

I love the montage of everyone fixing their hair starting at about 3:40! Almost makes it look like a fashion show.

Olga Karaseva before Olympics 1968 got pregnant and then made abortion under the pressure of her pimp (who called trainer)

WOMEN GYMNASTICS=ABORTIONS!!!

I hate this short bitches, jerking before millions of WANKERS. Jerking, fucking, abortions - is the base of women gymnastics.

I like >=180 cm tall women, who are CHASTE, who never will do abortions or go to bed with anybody, excepts husband.

@eve9206 Around the late 70's, early 80's, following the evolution of more difficult tricks.

Anyone know when the simple wooden beam was replaced with the modern one?

[Anax68]

Reading all the comments pointing out the kind of idfficulty and "specially " the hairdos", I couldn't ignore also that they were allowed to hold or grab the apparattus at the end of the performance in order to aoid a fall or a step!!!

Gymnastics has really evolved!!!

Vera Caslavska worked magic on bars. Like many others in future Olympiads.
