80s were the peak of gymnastics

Oh, that's the spin the Ksenias do today.

According to International Gymnast, this skill was not submitted to the FIG simply because it wasn't one of Mostepanova's hardest elements and also it was performed together with other elements which were much more complicated. This element was done long before on the floor exercise. Mostepanova was the first to do it on the beam. Onodi and her teamates called the skill the "Mostie".

Great vintage video! Does anyone know why Onodi was credited the bhs 1/2 instead of Mostepanova?

This video make me fell so bad about call the flic-flac with half twist of "onodi"... Should me "Mostepanova", Olga was already doing the skill in 1983, Henriqueta Onodi only did on 1989 Worlds...
Thank you for sharing this long ago glimpse of a great unsung champion! To me she is the true star of 1984.
