Even if Sesame Street Gymnast Deborah Eich-Romer from New York State joined the Olympics starting in 1972 to 1984 might make her famous winning gold.
I agree. It's rather boring now.
Olga was the revolution, the BEST ever, so far ahead of her time.
,,,,, true - Gold for Korbut.
IMO Olga Korbut is the GOAT on uneven parallel bars. I mean, c'mon. Daredevil moves and a 100% cleanly executed routine with a rock solid dismount. Dang.
Gymnastics was more insane and dangerous, but for me it was more beautiful in 1970s
So much of it looks so unintentional…haphazard
Agreed. They've lost the artistic part and it's become pretty boring.
Yes, watching clean performances
Charm goes away seeing single injury caused by banned elements, beauty is not worth trying f.e. thomas salto
SUPER WOMENS
Agree
No wonder I loved it so much more back then. These are the gymnastics I grew up watching. It's changed so gradually that I didn't quite remember why it felt so much more exciting and interesting back then. Now I see why.
Karin Janz 🤯 So difficult and elegant at the same time.
Korbut is a delight!!!
These women were incredible 🤩
The 1972 Olympics is where women's gymnastics changed forever. Before then the focus was predominantly on artistry and grace, but these Olympics made women's gymnastics more acrobatic and turned it into the daredevil sport we know it as now.
Yes now they might be perfect executing routines and exercises, but gymnastics has lost all grace and beauty.❤
What happened in '72?
@@MereCashmere Olga Korbut happened. It is really that simple.
@@jondavwal13 I'm not sure I understand, people are saying this event and gymnastics in general changed for the worst here, and that they wish Olga's style persevered, but It didn't. You're saying she's responsible for gymnastics changing for the worst despite being the GOAT?
@@MereCashmere Nobody is saying that. Gymnastics changed in 1972. Korbut was the change and she is the birth of modern gymnastics. Her style did persevere. But she was transitional. Go look at videos from 1968 if you want to understand better. Those who talk about artistry don’t understand sport. Gymnastics was hardly a sport pre-Korbut. You really don’t understand anything about gymnastics.
after the jury gave 9.80 to Olga Korbut,
the audience protested the jury over 5 minutes
because she was perfect - 10
0:08 Karin Janz. East Germany
0:45 Olga Korbut. Soviet Union
1:20 Erika Zuchold. East Germany
1:48 Lyudmila Turischeva. Soviet Union
2:22 Ilona Bekesi. Hungary
2:45 Angelika Hellmann, East Germany
3:04 Alina Goreac. Romania
,,,,, Korbut - Gold, no questions.
,,,, Janz won only because of politics - fact.
I dont know. I think Janz was incredible. I use to see shorts only with Olga Korbut and I've always thought she was genius. But to see several diamonds in a row that's just incredible.Their trio Janz, Korbut and Turischeva is impossible to judge. I bet none of the judges did anything similar in their sports career or maybe even just saw other competitors being that crazy and creative. All three of them are one head better than all other contestants. They were all stunningly perfect. To me all three of them deserve three golds 🏅
Excellent quality video! I was 12 in 1972 and this is when the uneven parallel bars became my favorite women's apparatus. These girls are amazing!
Great video… not having to hear commentary, just taking in the atmosphere … and the beautiful, elegant maneuvers of these young ladies …. This is really quite moving …. 😭… thank you…
Some interesting moves on bars I have not seen in a long time. And graceful dismounts.
Creativity and elegance in abundance. Beautiful and thrilling to watch.
Olga was the GOAT who is never mentioned. I wonder why gymnastics in the 70s was so treacherous. Olga's uneven bar routine was a white unicorn performance in the sport. It will definitely never be repeated again. Anyone could have easily died from a performance. There was a gymnast that actually died doing vault, but that was in the 90s.
They still could. One wrong move and you land on you neck etc you won’t be moving much longer. They are highly trained since toddlers so this rarely happens. Stupid when it does the move gets banned. You risk doing the sport but no one can take the ( extremely rare ) consequences.
I love it when people parrot a well established internet myth that has absolutely no truth behind it, while being fully convicted of its truth. 🙄
she was the literal first inductee into the gymnast hall of fame. 'never mentioned' is a big stretch. her bar routine has 35m views, making it the most viewed bar routine of the olympics channel. comanecis 10 has half as many views. olgas beam routine is the second most watched beam routine at 15m views etc.
Wow! That's some of the coolest bar work I've ever seen. I just don't see things like that now.
That’s because constantly hitting the bar with their hips like that caused issues with fertility down the line. Modern gymnastics is much safer and leaves athletes with a life after their sport :)
OLGA FUE EL GRAN BELLO ANGEL DE LA GIMNACIA SIN MUTILAR ( NO DE LA NUEVA ) Y ESE PAJARO AUN VIVE .. Grs.
bars are much closer. the widening of the bars was to increase creativity but yet the routines are so mundane.
@@emilyvickery8081 widening of the bars was to increase fluidity!
0:33 That dismount 😍
whole performance is also the best in my opinion, even better than Korbut
I wish that Karin Janz and Olga Korbut could have both gotten gold medals. Both routines were insane.
That was such a great era for unique bar routines
I can't get over bar routines in 70s compared to now. So very different. Wat a huge change in 25/30 years.
50 years...
More elegant.
It was 50 years ago. But looking at what they do it's like curent days almost. It's amazing
Last dismount was deadly
I’m this days all the routines looks the same, back then were so unique. ❤
Those were the days!! Amazing.
Everything in the 70's was INSANE!😁
They changed women artistic gymnastics forever, Especially Olga Korbut
I would like to see today some of those twists like Tourischeva's ang Goreac's. And all those dismounts... and moves... Wow!
I would too, I am curious if those are still allowed, just not done anymore, or what?
Last time a video of this was uploaded, I said it was impressive compared to now, and someone replied saying it was to make it safer. But it’s not just safety is it? There’s a lot more innovation and creativity back then even if you take out the most dangerous bits, and you could do those now. But when you watch it now, you only really need to see one performer on the bars to get pretty much all of what you’re going to see. And that’s pretty unfortunate.
All of gymnastics has definitely shifted so the focus is less on grace and perhaps imagination and more on power and athleticism. The strength and power todays elite gymnasts poses is absolutely amazing, (the skills they can pull off are mind blowing,) but the grace and imagination was arguably more fun to watch.
I agree with you.
@vinoandkittens9552 Which is unfortunate since it seems to be a definite move by America to push the odds in their favor.
@@toastedt140what is that supposed to mean? Power and athleticism are not American traits. Anyone from anywhere can be powerful and athletic. Grace and creativity aren't absent in America either.
Ignant much? Or,just 💩🧠@@toastedt140
Some of the best uneven bars work. Wish they would do some of the moves now. 😊
Wow, I would give 10.0 for all of them! Beautiful, graceful, creative, strong...
I feel like today everybody does the same routine.
The focus seems to be on collecting points solely, no care for individuality and creativity
This is just one after another surprise… just jaw dropping! Amazing!
I could watch this all day. Uneven bars were far more entertaining back then. Not that I want young athletes to be put in danger, which they undoubtably were.
All those elements definitely made the routines way more unique than today.
Risky stuff though, I can understand why some things aren't popular anymore 😁
Love Ludmila and Olga
Janz’s dismount looked like a torpedo - insane!
Dang those girls were great! Back when olympics was worth watching
Better than now.
Why can’t gymnasts now can’t be as elegant and graceful like the girls the 70s 😢 (btw it’s a rhetorical question)
Because it's gymnastics, not ballèt, tap, or ballroom dancing. (not a rhetorical answer).
It's much more enjoyable to watch.
Back when creativity and technique was important, as opposed to raw strength for points.
Notable, lo que eran las series en esos años✨
This gymnastics was just different, id say more artistic and creative. We trained and competes with routines like these into the late 80’s. Everything was different, bars material were different and training was CRAZY
Olgo 😊
I love gymnastics of the 70s and early 80s, a great evolution of routines. Munich 72 the year I was born
also, their leotards are cut so as to not make them look like pole dancers.
Yep.
My shoulders hurt just watching this. 😂
They had PASSION they loved what they did❤❤
For a sport that requires strength they had shown elegant, graceful and artistry which is very different from today.
That was so much more interesting than what we see nowadays ngl.
Olga Korbut should have won gold and I stand by that. Her routine was much better and her technique was better. Plus, she stuck that landing, Karin faltered a little.
,,,, true !
So much more intricate and interesting than today's sets.
What have we gained? ...only giant swings and a few more release skills. Lost plenty.
Yes if I wanted to watch giant swings all day I'd watch men's gymnastics.. (no disrespect to the male gymnasts)
There is more artistry than there is now.
Wow it’s not only Olga Korbut. They’re actually all incredible. Best time for gymnastics.
Korbut and Comaneci are probably the best and most mainstream from that era. As said by myself who knows nothing about gymnastics. But they all seemed incredibly creative back then. Like the stuff Goreac or Janz were doing too. All beautiful to watch.
Bars was so much more interesting and beautiful back then; the newer restrictions have changed it but not for the better. I do still love watching that and vault much more than beam or floor though.
Those insane moves from 1970 and 1972 are so superb and dangerous… i dont see them now 2023
Legendary performance ❤🥰🤩
Корбут великолепна
Why did the uneven bars look so much cooler back then compared to today?
I loved Karin Janz's routine (third girl)
These moves weren’t just banned because they can cause fatal injury, hitting the bar with their hips that hard hundreds of times also caused issues with fertility later in life.
Although these moves are cool, modern gymnastics is way better for gymnasts ❤
I'm sorry but olga should have gotten a 10 for that routine.
Непревзойдённая Ольга Корбут ! Отточенные,каждый мускул работает как механизм,выверенные до миллиметра точность движений, расчёт - но с какой лёгкостью,грацией - исполнено !!!!
Опередила время! И запретили кому либо повторять твои элементы- миссия невыполнима!
Слава Богу ,что исполнила ,показала свою ,,мощь,, !- слава Вам,наши девочки ! Очень горько за Леночку Мухину....да с кем только не случаются нелепые срывы,травмы,и на ровном месте спотыкаются...А и с такими тренированными телами ,случай может изменить всё в доли секунды....
Спасибо Вам за ваши труды,старания и принесенные победы и минуты ,единой для всех наших болельщиков,неудержимой гордости и радости за Вас!
Wow 😍
Wow impresionante nivel, me parece mejor que el actual muchas acrobacias
Corbut👏👏👏
Вот это настоящая борьба за золото!! Тут и каждому золото надо присудить за уникальные нестандартные упражнения!! Но золото может иметь только один...
Are the bars closer back then? If they were I want them moved back. The bar routines are so pretty.
Yes they were closer.
You used most of your warm up to find your bar setting on that set of bars because you wanted to hit the low bar at the top of the leg where it connects to the hip. Every set of bars was different. Nowadays i set the bars at FIG settings for my girls and we take block warm up time and get a lot more warm up done.
@@scarlettsalazar4836 thank you.
Utter, utter, utter Wow! 🙏🏽🤗
Gymnastics back then were challenging, creative, and fun. Nowadays it's all the same, very boring, indeed.
Elas tinham leveza, elegância, classe, parecia que faziam balé com ginástica. Simplesmente lindo, porém mortal. A ginástica baniu vários movimentos por serem muito perigosos para os ginastas, imagino quantos não sofreram lesões graves como a também incrível Elena Mukhina 😢 hoje em dia elas são mais musculosas e fortes, menos delicadas, pois assim não aguentariam os impactos e lesões das execuções!
As long as everyone does it perfectly , it means it's not too dangerous 😂
@@Loma23256 didn’t you read me talking about Elena Mukhina? There are many others gymnasts who became paraplegic, sad but true. Not all of them became famous, but it doesn’t change the fact some skills are extremely dangerous
There was never anybody, male or female, who was better on the uneven bars than Olga Korbut. She was just incredible.
Elena Mukhina
I hope they all got gold medals!!! Jeez!
Woooow😮😮😮
Si yo fuera gimnasta,intento hacer alguno de esos ejercicios actualmente,me encanta salirme de la norma ☝😄☝
Olga is the best to ever do it
MUY ARRIESGADO PERO FUERON LAS OLIMPIADAS MAS ESPECTACULARES DE LA HISTORIA. ERAN HIPNOTICAS, PERFECTAS, PURA PRECISIÓN, ÚNICAS 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
لو شاهد الناس قبل 1000 سنة هذا الفديو ماذا سيقولون عن هكذا اجسام مرنه وسرعة وقوة ودقة ووو .
Back when uneven bars had more variety and diversity. Today it's the most boring and stressful apparatus. You can no longer touch any part of the beam with you legs or torso. I'd just focus on winning medals for the beam, vault and floor alone and let the other gymnasts take the bars.
More exciting to watch than todays routine. It's becoming too monotonous and appears shorter than the 70s
i love the Commenci.. i think that's the somersault between the bars.
Actually crazy legit seems so inhuman 🤯
Crazy 😧
¡Qué magníficas ejecuciones!
Was more exciting and interesting to watch 😍
Muito bom mesmo
This is why it irritates me that modern gymnasts keep getting ranked best ever when they’re NOTHING compared to these ones!
Very true ✅
Love it!!
I know you're not allowed to do the Korbut Flip anymore but are some of these other things disallowed or do they just not do them anymore? Especially the kinds of dismounts Turishcheva or Zuchold did?
Lo máximo? OLGA KORBUT!!!!!
💖💖💖
very innovative unlike now with the cop etc.
That’s crazy.
La gran mayoría de esos ejercicios actualmente no se pueden hacer en competencia
Some can't be dune at all because the bars are further apart now.
@AshWatsonVlogs and Nile Wilson need to give some of these a go.
I noticed that women gymnast were a lot slimmer back then. They were more graceful and I enjoy watching them.
Do you know why they looked slimmer compared to now?
@@jacobmiller2663nowadays it’s all about building muscle to have the biggest jumps, strongest arms etc. Grace isn’t important now.
They aren't "slim".........they are starved. The communist countries typically starved and often drugged their athletes. It still happens, today.
@@scarlettsalazar4836but do you know what kept them slim?
Agree.
Parabens
These Gymnasts all represent the Warsaw Pact
Definitely one thing you can't call the people less athletic or skilled as modern people like everyone claims the past was.
Lindo para quem assiste. Perigoso demais para quem pratica. A saúde dos esportistas tem sempre de estar em primeiro plano.
As long as everyone does it perfectly , it means that it is not dangerous but today's players do not have enough flexibility so they make excuses 😅
@@Loma23256oh what about the ones who were injured or fatally lost their lives back then, NOT EVERYONE CAN PERFORM THE SAME THINGS PERFECTLY. Stop being so slow.
