Well, I'm a MAG gymnast / judge, but I believe it's due to a difference in routine composition and skills. For example, in the 1970s, the gymnasts often competed skills that involved swinging on one bar and "bouncing" their torso / hips off of the other bar; this, coupled with the lack of giant-derivative turns and skills, required the bars to be close.
Now most of the skills on uneven bars are giant-derivative (e.g., pirouettes, releases, el-grip) and require the bars to be further apart.

cant believe the level of ignorance that exists after reading some of the comments on here. Where's the sound and its a fake made me laugh-these people must have a collective IQ of about 2. Anyway great to see pure gymnastics,none of this extra springy floor nonsense. This must of been world Championships around 1978. Great footage of the Cubans-completely mad but ahead of their time. Thanks for posting

It looks more like the 90s just looking at their style.
