Truly balletic, and gorgeous. Maria could do any choreography, and make it stunning Even when she was young and tiny, her dance never looked cheesy or silly, as so many did. Noone can touch her for artistic expression.
The soviet choreography of the 80’s is my ultimate favorite of all time. You see a little sparkle every now and then of beautiful choreography nowadays. But the 80’s Soviet choreography was absolutely beautiful and in a league of it’s own. And such variety from gymnast to gymnast. Example, if you watch the floor routines of the 1988 Olympic team, they are nothing alike, but all fantastic and unique in their own right.
@spankulp I do agree with your comments entirely. The Soviet ladies certainly showed the world just how good they really were. The music played was classical but lovely and definately not dull. The ballet moves are so nice and at the end I can almost imagine her wearing a tutu and pointe shoes.
I think the mix of floor routines with these soviets was great! You have balletic, slow and graceful routines like Filatova and Kim and then spunky, feisty, lively routines like davydova and naimushina over all very diverse and different and so wonderful!
D I V I N E. The part where she gracefully steps backwards while her back is arched???? CHILLS. VAPORS. GOOSEBUMPS!! The 1980 Soviets may have had the best collection of optional floor routines EVER! (But maybe not because I have never seen Zakharova's surface.)
@@MrMartinportnoy increíble! They need to make a documentary about Soviet choreography! ASAP before any more pass away! I wish there was an IMDB, but for choreographers. Do you know who choreographed Shushunova's 88 routine?
@@thesovgc No, I don't know, I'm trying to remember if she ever mentioned that in some interview, but come to think of it, choreographers are rarely acknowledged, the coach usually takes all the credit... 🤷🏼♂️
@@MrMartinportnoy It would also be fascinating to see a list of routines done by a particular choreographer. Like did the same choreographer do all of Boginskaya's routines prior to Liberte, or did she use multiple choreographers? Who did Strazheva's Rite of Spring and was it the same choreographer she had used before? Is the choreographer who did Shushunova's 88 routine the same one who did her 87 one? I am DYING to know the answers to these questions. I have spoken to Fabrichnova before; perhaps she would have some idea.
@@MrMartinportnoy This is off topic, but do you have any idea why Gutsu isn't in the Gymnastics Hall of Fame? It seems like a deliberate snub and I am dying to find out why.
You guys pretty much said it all regarding how I feel about this sublime FX. re: 2:06 - 2:08 - funny how the pixie-like Elena Naimushina is taller than the mature, emotive Filatova...
Look at the exactness and intention on her landing going into a controlled lunge and pose. The power of someone like Biles is impressive but she just lands however and bounces into whatever position. This control and intention is much more impressive to me.
And Filatova and her contemporaries competed on floors and apparatus that were NOT spring-loaded like the gymnastics equipment in Bile's era! Those floors were often just carpet, or thin mats, no thicker than wrestling mats!
Советские гимнастки лёгкие, воздушные, утончённые, женственные. Сейчас в мире много массивных, тяжёлых, мужеподобных гимнасток, после приземления которых земля трясется.
When it comes to gymnastics, I do live in the past. Nowadays the code of points has enslaved the gymnasts to do a bunch of tricks with no artistry. So sad.
Exquisite! A gorgeous combination of athleticism and balletic artistry. Maria was 19 at these Olympics. She could do many artistic styles on floor! At the 1976 Olympics and through to the 1977 season she performed quirky, comical and very doll like routines that suited her youth and tiny frame perfectly. By 1980 she had matured and was simply sublime in her presentations on floor, both at the Moscow Games, and at her final major competition the following year at the 1981 World Championships. Masha was the All Around silver medallist at those Worlds (which were won by the under-aged Olga Bicherova). What was unique about Masha making the AA finals against her equally gifted Soviet teammates is that she was the team ice breaker, going up first on most, if not all of the events during the Team Compulsory and Team Optional rounds. Even today in the open scoring era, the first gymnast up on an apparatus usually receives the lowest scores, then the scores build with each subsequent gymnast. At the 1981 Worlds, Masha's consistency and mistakes by some teammates who went up after her, helped her to make the AA final, and ultimately, win the silver! Scores carried over from the team events in those days. Had Filatova gone up later in the team line up, her scores likely would have helped her to win the gold in the AA!
The only reason she and Davydova did not qualify into the floor final was the score of 9.80 in the compulsories. Comaneci and Shapishnikova with 9.95 outformed them both in execution.
@@ginamelendez6603 She's the first thing that comes to my mind when I see these Moscow Olympics videos. I wish that she had made it there or that at least they had taken that responsibility off her hands. She'd be alive and healthy today. 😞
I agree. at 1:07, that's a balletic move. You can tell that she was classically trained in ballet. Not that her tumbling is weak, her interpretation to the music is exquisite.
Filatova's tumbling was not the most difficulties at these games. Davidova's first pass Arabian 1 3/4 from a round-off at the time was probably the most difficult and it still is if they still allow that element. I think Filatova was the best dancer in my opinion.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that whoever choreographed this routine was a former rhythmic gymnast. This routine screams rhythmic gymnastics. You can insert a ball or rope at pretty much any point. It's wonderful.
@audie83 She is amazing, If you ever want to learn from her, She has a gym in Rochester NY. I have had the pleasure of meeting her, even though i have no gynastic skill whatsoever.
Раньше девочки гимнастки были тоненькие,ровгые,как тростиночки,женственные.Сейчас девахи,как терминаторы,с огроменными ляхами и жопами,вываливающимися из купальника,ни грамма эстетики.А тут целый мини спектакль,так трогательно и нежно.
Gymnastics has become so boring. I never thought I'd say that, but it has. It's all about the tumbling and nothing else. This was classic artistic gymnastics. Just look at her extension, toe point, expression, lines, etc. You don't see that anymore 😔
Kevin Jewell Really and the Thoma's salto and many other skills that are banned in nowdays women's gymnastics for being considered too dangerous that were performed by the Soviet girls....And I was referring more to the artistic part and corporal expression.
ReGiS MrL Don't forget, the Soviets had gone more abstract & modern in the floor and then upon seeing Kathy Johnson in '77-'78 decided to return their girls back to the more classical music and dance...
Kevin Jewell yeah, that is partially true but it looks more in european girls(Romanian girls) and some Asian...Although i can't lie the majority looks like stones trying to dance.
Based on "The Swan" (fr. Le Cygne) is a play by Camille Saint-Saens from the suite "Carnival of the Animals", created in February 1886. The world-wide fame is due to the choreographic miniature of Mikhail Fokine for this music, created by him for the ballerina Anna Pavlova and better known as "The Dying Swan".
Look at the exactness and intention on her landing going into a controlled lunge and pose. The power of someone like Biles is impressive but she just lands however and bounces into whatever position. This control and intention is much more impressive to me.
She was so talented and so underrated... One of my favourite.
Просто в СССР была очень высокая конкуренция среди своих гимнасток , все гимнастки сборной были талантливы и хорошо выступали , очень ровно !

So elegant, so expressive. There is something very soulful about her.
if only gymnastics was like this today. this routine should be shown to the gymnasts today.
Today in 2018 FX it's really awful........

What a natural dancer, so fluid and lovely!
Listen to that crowd! They know a masterpiece when they see one. Every eye is riveted on her.

The same with the 1989 Soviet team's floor exercises!
@@Brissieskater1 So were the unsung Soviet choreographers!
Solidarity sister 👌
Oh! So beautiful choreography!
Such a breathtaking exercise. The gymnast, the elegance, the gracefulness, the music & technique are the perfect match.
The opening tumbling pass with front tuck round off handspring double pike than she lands it like a gracefull swan with those piano keys.
Omg the double turn to the splits!! *chef's kiss* 😍💗
Such a beautiful masterpiece. I have to say this is my all-time favorite floor routine.
Boy she sure transitioned from cute pixie to beautiful performer flawlessly. My fave routine ever
She was my coach for 6 years...❤
what happened?
+John Smith She actually went back to Russia to visit but she ended up staying. She's doing really great things there tho👍
really? se is fantastic and beautiful
What was she like?
Oh really where did she coach you in rush hour here in America
love love love the ending. captivating. a piece of art

One by one, the Soviet ladies just came out with stellar performances. Think Davydova, Filatova and the other team mates.
god this is so fucking beautiful.
best floor routine of these games, hands down, and she had the most entertaining routine of the 76 games as well
truly an artist
