ELENA MUKHINA 1978 WORLD'S ALL-AROUND-ALL 4 ROUTINES!

this was only 2ys ahead of nadia which means she had already been training these moves duing the time when nadia performed at the 1976 olympics.. had she borned earlier and performed like this in the 1976 olympics people would probably not remember nadia as much coz she did tricks that were way much harder..!

The performance of Mukhina is really splendid even if I look now. 　Your performance is elegant beautifully powerfully. A shock impression when I began it and watched Mukhina revived in those days. 　Thank you for showing a splendid performance for a short period. 　You are a champion eternally. 　Please sleep peacefully.

The Russian choreography in 70s and 80was just beautiful. And for those who don't know, that's how you land a full-in!

ムヒナ選手の演技　今見ても本当に素晴らしいですね。　貴方の演技は力強く　美しく　優雅。 当時始めてムヒナ選手を見た時の衝撃　感動が甦りました。　短い期間でしたが素晴らしい演技を見せてくれて有難う。　貴方は永遠にチャンピョンです。　安らかに眠って下さい。

Could she have been the greatest if she hadn't had the accident?

Какого человека потеряли.

not great form on the vault, especially for that time, but nevertheless, an exsquisite gymnast.
