wow, the routine on the parallel bars & sidehorse hasnt changed that much since those early olympics, except they're no longer outdoors.. lol
-
Neat video! Thanks for posting this old routine!
-
the form back then is horrible compared to the modern gymnast, but still cool vid
-
"MCMLII" (1952) it says at the end of the clip; but, yeah, that is footage Riefenstahl's team shot at the Berlin Games in '36. It's interesting because much of what is seen here didn't make into the final production of her 1938 documentary "Olympia". It would be nice if an effort was made to collect much of this "cutting floor" footage which could be edited-in to make an unabridged version of Olympia. (...Couldn't be called a 'director's cut' because she's dead now.)

Sorry to say that, but this is not 1952 footage. Some of the guys later on (on HB) have swastikas on their dresses so I'm thinking pre-2.ww era ;-)

Heavens, just see the difference with today, just 50 years! The men appear to be more advanced in those days than the women. I can't believe what that lady is doing on the uneven bars in the first 5 minutes. Just compare it with a modern day chick. Don't they all seem relatively old to you too?
Ah, the handstands with bend backs.. Such a no go now.
thanks for posting this!
