Beautiful gymnast. Anyone who calls her un-artistic is blind. Perfect shoulder and neck line, great flexibility and range of motion and expressive and engaging dance/choreography that goes very well with the music. Her form isn't perfect but in 1988 no ones was bar like 2 people (and certainly not Silivas). Innovative and difficult acrobatics too. She really had it all...
I would say she wasn't classical, but definetely she was very artistic, her tsiganskaya routine was perfectly adapted, and while she was a gymnast fulled with difficulty you can see still the creatity across her elements and the intention of performing a cleaning execution to the maximun :)
Elena was the perfect blend of artistry and power. I wish they'd bring back the compulsories. It would really help weed out a lot of the gymnasts
@QPHashSS77 She became much more artistic as she developed. She wasn't naturally artistic but leant polish and style! That floor routine is beautiful presented.
You are so right - Getting rid of The Compulsories was tragic!
One of the greatest women gymnasts of all time.Simply superb.
1988 Seoul Olympics gymnastics has never been surpassed.
she is one of the best gymnasts in the history...she will be always my favorite one!
the golden era, when artistry mattered.
@QPHashSS77 She was far more artistic than many of the current gymnasts. At least she didn't look like a quarterback.
gorgeous, she will be sorely missed
Thumbs up to Shushunova for being the oldest AA champion in modern gymnastics history. And also for being able to dominate for such a long time during the golden age of gymnastics!
QPHashSS77 Thank you for replying to my 7 year old comment
Some of her skills left me with my mouth hanging open, great gymnast indeed. She won, by a narrow margin, but she won. IMO the Shushunova-Silivas "duel" in the Seoul 1988 AA competition is one of the greatest in the history of sport.
THE greatest duel.
Yes it was a great duel
i loved Elena for her grace and artistry. my fav female gymnast. i wish todays ladies would combine some more grace with power and moves.
I remember the 88 Olympics, I fell in love with Elena when I saw her performing the skill at 04:26… later I find out it was called as “rulfova” skill. But for me that move will always be a Shushunova move. Elena was really a great gymnast and a joy to watch. RIP ❤️
A fantastic gymnast!
Программа под цыганочку великолепна, просто высший пилотаж. Гимнастка очень талантливая и неповторимая. Светлая память 🙏
she is amazing..
BRAVO ELENA SHUSHUNOVA. I think SHUSHUNOVA and SILIVAS are EQUAL. They are like FIRE [SHUSHUNOVA] and WATER [SILIVAS]. Shushunova the Tumbler and Silivas the Choreographer. Both are very good and both are great. Shushunova was the ALL-AROUND CHAMPION but SILIVAS GOT THREE GOLDS. I believe they brought out the best out of each other.
RIP ❤️
What amazing epic final, Shushunova against Silivas
She is rather expressive by her awesome moves and body lines
RIP Elena
She certainly deserved that damn GOLD ALL-AROUND medal!!! She has all the top titles, a great gymnast is supposed to have. Let others have 3 Olympic gold medals, but they are not Olympic All-Around. champions.
the landing...it's...perfect.
Uma ginasta espetacular.
there’s something i love about the first tumbling pass. the kind of delayed single layout. it’s simple but it looks so good. i also love when the do it on bars dismounts. like the first flip is piked and then it flares out into layout position. looks so cool 😍😍😍
my fave compulsory beam dismount for sure
So crazy that the Soviets threw full difficulty in team comp and were able to water down in the All Around. And still meet the code and have choreography like Elena. So good.
Леночка,гениальная гимнастка,жаль,что так рано ушла😥
The best!!!!! Only!!!
My forever favorite ❤️ 😍 💜💪
Вечная память
Браво!!!!!!
Miss her much.
Thanks for uploanding it
Восхищаюсь.!!!
シュシュノバさんの床運動の演技はとても素晴らしいですね!
She is my idol!
Oh yes, there were various: Elena Shushunova did in practice. Aleftina Priakhina at the 1987 Europeans - she really did it quite perfect then, I think the first one to perform it in an official competition but not named after her as it were 'only' Europeans. Even Boginskaya (!) performed it at an USSR display in 1987. The one I actually liked best was Tatiana Groshkova in 1989 (Chunichi Cup) and 1990 (Europeans, Moscow News, ...) as she throwed it as double full-in which really looked stunning!
От нее исходит мощь, уверенность и сила!
I wish they would bring back compulsory routines!! I miss this gymnastics!
correction: she IS the best :D
I see her and see Simon Biles and realized that Biles is impressive only by her difficulty and nothing else, while you can see Shushunova at her era was not just a gymnast with a lot of difficulty, you realized to the intention of being the cleanest possible in the execution, she was a different gymnast, she did crazy elements for the 80's but that didn't mean she lost the expression in her artistry, we could see in her balance beam and floor, the movement of her arms has flow, the choreography of the floor make sense with the tsiganskaya a gypsy folk music, you can see it in her bars her feet trying to be stretching to the maximum most of the time, she was a full package, she was all the essence of the artistic gymnastics, RIP Yelena Shushunova, your legacy remain with us
By the way her routine to Tsiganskaya reminds me a lot of Natalia Godunko an ukrainian rhythmic gymnast who used that music too but for ribbon in 2008, but of them are very fast, confident, very different gymnast for their eras, but their routines made sense to the music.
US gym has always been based on power and tumbling skills, with little artistic sense.
"Strangely" enough, back in the days, the US gymnasts only managed to win in the US. Retton, Zmeskal, US Team in Atlanta
So they pushed for a reform of the grading system which would suit their style.
It's still called artistic gymnastics, but I honestly can't imagine why...
Biles is a magnificent athlete, but hardly an artistic gymnast.
@@nuwandalton I don't like Biles and don't find her artistic nor expressive but according to the rules she's doing good and in this sense is fair, she's competing following the rules so we can't say she's been cheating or something else, I respect her work, her ethics, despite isn't the kinf of gymnast I like
@@patem7379 Same here ^^
It's no longer the sport it used to be.
And Biles looks like a 100m runner.
Con él debido respeto, hay muchos ejercicios de las rutinas de Shushunova que fueron prohibidos , debido al enorme riesgo de lesiones graves para las gimnastas, Shushunova realizaba además el conocido Thomas, en su doble diagonal de Seul 1988 puede observarse, incluyendo además una caída sobre las rodillas que presentó en Seul por primera vez y no ha vuelto a verse , el riesgo de lesión era enorme..... Lo mismo cabe decir para su rutina de barra , con esa caída después de esa espectacular pirueta , sobre las piernas y apoyo facial. En su momento, la periodista especializada en gimnasia artística de TVE , afirmó que además de ser dificilísimo era doloroso. Shushunova, era potencia, armonía y perfeccionismo extremo .
ma da quale pianeta viene sto mostro....O.O sono completamente allibbita...non pensavo si potesse essere così bravi...
thank you so much for putting these together, really great :)
RIP
and strong
Jesus Christ...
Does anyone here know how they call Elena´s move on her floor exercise at 6:06?
Was such a move executed by any other gymnasts?
Seems diabollically difficult, but, well..it was Elena.
@bbhouk1 And the double twisting double is named the "Silivas" because she was the first to do it in a major competition-at the 1988 Olympic Games.
ОНА САМАРОДОК ВЕКА С ДЕЦТВА УВАЖАЮ И ЛЮБЛЮ ЕЕ СПОРТСМЕНКУ АНА ЗАМЕЧАТЕЛЬНА СТОЛЬКО ГРАЦИИ В АМПЛЕТУДАХ ..........
Totally agree.......I hate the new rules and scoring of Gymnastics today. Too many of today's gymnasts could never compete with the ones' from 20-30 years ago.
@emmyjo720
didn't shaposhnikova do the first triple twist?
I think they must have cruelly penalised her for a slight loss of balance turning at the end of the first length and dipping her chest on landing. However they didn't deduct for her legs apart in the air and on landing on her vault so hey ho. She was good wasn't she.
Its a thomas salto.... which is a 1 1/2 twisting 1 1/2 somersault in straddle position...
It killed Elena Mukhina, and that happened 9 years before this.... The poor girl had to live in a wheelchair until she died two years ago....So i dont enjoy seeing it performed even as beautifully as Elena does it because I just think of poor mukhina.
Земля пухом!
Some say Shushunova should not have won the all around title over Silivas. I liked Silivas mainly, because she reminded me so much of Nadia and I love watching Nadia.
آلله يرحمها كانت متميزة.
Does anyone know the name of the song? Thank you!
@emmyjo720 sillivas had a DOUBLE-TWISTING DOUBLE-BACK! IN 1988!!
I didn't even know anyone did double-doubles until the 2000's i hadn't heard of anyone doing them until Shawn Johnson and Sam Peszek. please reply did you really mean to say double-double!!??
Ah… another Soviet purchased gold medal. She was a fabulous gymnast but this competition should have ended in a tie. There was blatant bias all the way to the end of the Unified team. Thank goodness that era is long gone.
anyone know what the foreign commentator is saying during the compulsory portion?
i watch these old vids and it always sounds like they're saying "cute and cuta (cuter)"
@emmyjo720 arabian flips are banned? since when?
Si mal no veo en el suelo hace un Thomas Salto babeado de la gimnasia artística femenina. Y por el cual Elena Muckhina quedó cuádriplegica muriendo posteriormente de complicaciones de su invalidez.
Ejercicios arriesgados solo por el medio punto extra.
Me gusta más Silivas era más elegante.
i have some vids from seoul posted
Which is the song on her floor routine?
Apakah dia sudah menikah dan punya anak???
Wait, I am dumb, I need to watch the whole thing. Commenter fail!
:-o :o
This is not the AA, this is team compulsories.
No, I haven't. I have read many commenters that did not like Elena's gymnastics very much at all. Common adjectives used to describe her: manly, un-artistic, choppy. I think 1988 was a good year for her, but I can never like her gymnastics very much, especially when there were girls like Silivas and Dobre around at the time.
I too was more the Silivas, Dobre, Omelianchik type. But Shushunova was an outstanding gymnast.
Elena Shushunova dont hit a 10,00 on floor exercise on finals.
Not in event final. But did it in AA final.
The timing of the roll is very hard, but a stratalled arabian(what she did in the air) isn't, people do standing arabians on the beam all the time.
the gymnastic movements that time was not so hard compare to mid 90's up to now.less in twisting and less effort.
im a robot here i am with no real expression im programmed to win wow no
Are you high on drugs? Lol.
She too butch
RIP
