  • Larissa has the most number of olympic medals she has 18.and thats kinda unbelievable..

  • For the same reason you can't make direct comparisons of Jesse Owens and Usain Bolt; you just have to accept that each was the best of his era.

  • @peacelaurenpeace739 remember this was on floor a bit softer than hardwood floor. This clip did not include her tumbling, but look at vera caslavska's tumbling from a few years later, and they would be similar.

  • @admetric no, produnova did a full twisting switch split leap into a split, while latynina did a full twisting straight jump landing in a split.I don't think that it was named after Produnova, but I may be wrong

  • The skill she performs at 7 secs was later named after Produnova, right?

  • hahahahaha u have to think wat bad gymnasts were doing at the time if this is the best in the world

  • i can do that right now and i quite gymnastics 2 years ago , actully i could do that when i was 9! gymnastics have surely changed thats for sure.

  • @Sacchari

    Yup, that's what it was in those days -- just a carpet laid on a hard cement floor. And only those with strong calves and a good take-off could hope to excel in this discipline.

  • wow its amazing to see how much gymnastics has changed...look how easy the tumbling looks to elite gymnasts today!

  • @gymnasticsloverxoxo

    She's actually counsidered a Soviet Legend in the sport, Olga and Nadia just popularized it.

  • Damn, look at how hard that floor is! Did they just put carpet on top of cement or something?
