Exactly.... thinking about the Floor, but also the Horse Vault... or the Uneven Bars for the women and so on.... it was so much more difficult in the old days to show those amazing elements,....
Я занималась спортивной гимнастикой с 1969 по 1978 годы. Никаких пружин на помосте для вольных упражнений не было. Фанерный настил, и и два слоя типа коврового покрытия. Для опорного прыжка мостики были совсем не упругие, часто болела надкостница
I know that people say that Nastia looks like her mother Anna Kotchneva, but looking at this video of Valeri at age 19, I can see some of Valeri's looks in Nastia as well .
0:34 - I like how he jumps a step back to save himself from stumbling backward... and 0:40 that side cartwheel thingy looks so cool, I've never seen anyone do that move.
Elena Shoushounova did the same roll-out skill in her second pass over the years in her career. Those skills were banned in the sports, because of its dangerous landing. There were several gymnasts severely injured throughout the years. Still it is a breathtaking move, no doubt about that! 😎
the difficulty that velari performs is beyond impressive, especially for that time period. might i add that thomas salto was absolutely mind blowing. i would never dare to try anything like that!!
I was a teenager and gymnast in that time and know exactly how hard the equipment felt.... It was really a tough time! Valeri was such an outstanding gymnast, but I also think this triple back ruined his health. No matter what competition you watched later on, he always grimaced, sticking a dismount and then he limped off the podium. It didn't matter on which apparatus..... He payed a high prize for being so immaculate.
Still I feel like Valeri was really a class of his own.... he was such a great talent and will never be forgotten, due to his triple back somersault. Such an insane skill - and even at those times with a totally different apparatus standard. I just watch the Olympics 2021 in Tokyo and every time they land a skill at the Floor Exercise the whole Floor is shaking. It is like they are using a mini-trampoline... It makes the routines of the 80's and 90's so much more difficult, flawless and immaculate. I love those years and the stars that were brought up to the elite level, such as Valeri Ljukin, but also Dima Bilozertschew, Valentin Mogilny, Vladimir Artemov or Yuri Korolev.....
In later competitions you see him grimacing his face, especially on floor during his routines, but also in other exercises, mostly after a dismount. I think his body (his feet or ankles) paid the price for daring a lot!
В СССР был гимнаст, который в 1987 году идеально выполнял тройное сальто. К сожалению, не помню его имя и фамилию. Он не был в сборной команде на чемпионатах Европы и мира. А на чемпионате страны победил в вольных упражнениях и опорном прыжке, где ему не было равных. Ему судьи выставляли 10 баллов. Валерий Люкин хуже делал тройное сальто. Потому получил 9.95
@@tatilalima2874 Still I believe... this super element, the triple somersault back on Floor did actually cost his health. If you look at him throughout his career, after this European Championships, he was almost always limping from or to an apparatus. The Floor was so hard during that time. It had springs already, but not comparable to the Floor of our time. He is an outstanding gymnast.... and will always be remembered introducing this triple back as a world premiere.... 😊
Советский Союз воспитал этого спортсмена, дал ему возможность бесплатно заниматься гимнастикой. Став звездой и получив признание, он не остался на родине, уехал в Америку и воспитал дочку - олимпийскую чемпионку. Даже исказили русскую фамилию девочке. Неужели Америка заменила Россию? Никогда не пойму таких людей и их поступков.
Thank you so much for your comment.... I can understand where you are coming from and relate to your words. But in the end... it was probably a very difficult time for Valeri (and many other gymnast from the USSR), after the Soviet Union broke apart. We saw in the following years the descent of the post Soviet countries as Russia, Ukraine or Belarus and the dominance in Artistic Gymnastics faded... I guess he just wanted to take his chances and find a 'good' life somewhere else. That doesn't mean you should forget, where you are coming from or who made it possible, that you had the chance - reaching the top at your prime.
@@СветланаМещерякова-о3х Конечно помню. Я вырос в СССР Но вопитанник Казахстанского спорта, как Жаксылык Ушкепиров, Головкин, Жиров и др. Но Москва многих других хороших спортиков не подпускали. Эти парни пробились своим трудом
@@ЕсмагамбетовАмагелди да, своим трудом, талантом. Что значит Москва не подпускала? Был жёсткий отбор и большая конкуренция. И он смог пробиться в сборную! Молодец!

If you notice how lean and thin gymnast are at this time you will see that none of these gymnasts could compete today as they look. Today's gymnast has to be far more muscular and stronger than what was required back then. Also several judges gave him a 10 even though he had that big jump.

The springs under the floor were about half the size of the springs today, so that triple is even more amazing!

No, no. There weren't ANY springs. No cushion either! Was just a thin piece of styrofoam with a cheap rug over it. That's it.
@@DataNinjah False. By 1980 there were springs in the floor. And by the mid 1980s, the size of those spings increased dramatically.

And he’s half the size of the guys competing today
@@dannymorgan7252not true.
до сих пор редкость тройно,великий гимнаст

Валерию помню с детства. Любил всегда смотреть гимнатику
Лучший вид спорта, и СССР был в нем на высоте.
2 yrs after this Nastia was born.
He was quite young then, when he became a Dad....
@@Boban1611I was thinking the same thing!
Amazing Liukin!
I totally agree with you.
Great landing at the end
Yes - he truly nailed the landing, of his final pass, to the ground.
Такой молодчинка! А Мы его профукали
He was so talented - a diamond in the history of artistic gymanstics....
Great!👍👍👍
This was such an achievement back then, with the Floor being so hard.
Valeri was very brave showing this element.
Je l'aime !
Also, what a save!

This was really crazy.... think of the hard Floor back then.
Era lindo. Ele foi medalha de ouro em qual aparelho?
He won a Gold Medals in the All Around, the Floor Exercise and Horizontal Bar and a couple of other Medals during those European Championships.

Настенька, подари отцу парочку внуков, чтобы не прерывалась династия.
I am sure she will eventually.... 😏😎😄
Idk she really likes to stay skinny
Spelled last name wrong
0:24 shows it exactly the way I spelled it - on the TV screen back then. So I guess, I can live with it. 😀
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waleri_Wiktorowitsch_Ljukin
Even Wikipedia says Ljukin.... hum...
His name is originally written using the cyrillic alphabet, therefore there can be several romanised translations
Your ignorance is showing, lol.

They rewarded him with the highest score, probably because it was a world premiere.... performing the triple back. I guess they were in an awe....
