@oubeauty2008 You are obviously naive and know nothing about history. We're talking about Russia, a place that defined evil. They could and would do anything to win, whether it was on the world stage or sport. The pregnancy did not progress long enough for the girls to "balloon;" they were forced to abort at any early stage. You don't get fat the second you become pregnant, for heaven's sake.

5.15 - See that gesture! Elena is able to spontaneously move her left arm. Looks like she was getting some movement back - if only she had good physiotherapy as soon as possible after her accident...
-
Haha no shit this documentary is so racist with very overt political tones. Wasn't it made cold war period?
-
@oubeauty2008 It's very counter-productive. In pregnancy, the embroyo/fetus gets the nutrients FIRST and the mother gets whatever is left over. I don't see how they thought getting pregnant would be of any help.

The most ridiculous "documentary" I have ever seen.
-
@oubeauty2008 Yeah sounds like a good excuse to have have sex with them.. lol

"...forced the gymnasts to become pregnant so that their bodies could soak up more nutrients..." Yeah right. Those girls, and most elite gymnasts today don't have enough body fat to even have periods...how could they possibly become pregnant?! And did they not like their gymnasts extremely thin...if they were somehow to become pregnant would they not balloon up like crazy?? This accusation cannot be true...it'd completely counterproductive as far as gymnastics is concerned. Lmao.

There is a disturbing tone of "schadenfreude" in Frank Gifford's voice as he's narrating this piece. Instead of showing compassion for what people like Mukhina had to go through,it's like he's reveling in the disintegration of the USA's "enemy" & enjoying exposing the "downside" of the Soviet athletic machine.
And did you notice that they always showed Groshkova falling or failing to complete a move successfully? This docu. was edited to be as negative as possible toward Soviet sports life.
