  • her bars routine was amazing!!!!

  • today I did for the first time a full twisting double back, i work really hard for it!

    but now i realize how hard mukhina must have worked for it in in 1987, she does it on a floor as hard as stone!

    Mukhina, you were the only one who was beter than Nadia.

    Rest In Peace.

  • @Lisamaneesa

    They would be as good today as they were back then but rules were put in place to protect the gymnasts.

  • Amazing.

  • poor mukhina, may she rest in peace.

  • soviet athletes were sports machines then

  • 3:45 to 3:49 was terrifying. @_@

  • That has got to be one of the scariest uneven bars routine ever! I swear back then they would put the most dangerous routines ever O.O

  • she had a new skill in every apparatus

  • whoa girls were doing full-ins back then?!
