The Karolyi Six Pack

Footage from the 1989 U.S. Olympic Festival (a.k.a. the Junior National Championships) in Oklahoma City - featuring the six talented juniors known at the time as the Karolyi Six Pack: Hilary Grivich, Kelly Pitzen, Amy Scherr, Erica Stokes, Amanda Uherek, and Kim Zmeskal.

I made this to show how talented they were as youngsters, and also to wish them well in life...I hope they can look back and remember the good times and appreciate their talent and achievements in gymnastics. And remember Hilary Grivich, who was tragically killed in a car accident at age 19. Rest in peace, Hilary.

Music: "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart.

Wow! I'm jealous of the footage you have and you do make amazing videos! Regarding Hilary, I think this video celebrates her kicking ass at what she loved doing!!! I

@aleksasha0james Thank you so much! This is from my collection of gym videos that's been in a box collecting dust for many years :) And yes, I wanted it to be a tribute to Hilary, too. Glad you liked it!

this is awesome!

i watch this video all the time! :)

but i have a question if Kim was in this video i never seen her signature pass on floor, or was this before she was doing the 3 whip backs to double back?

[IRunFastest]

@Sapphire664 Thank you! :) And no, she didn't perform the three whips at this meet. I'm not sure when she first did it...
