There is something about these old gymnastics that I always see way more entertaining that current ones, every gymnastics back then would drop my jaw while now its just another routine
I lived it. Once the creativity was sucked out of gymnastics, I fell out of love. On a brighter note, looking at 1:12, did I hear something about the new COP bringing Yurchenko & Teza loops back to Beam?
Said by Olga Korbut back in her heyday, “Our joint motto has been to strive for higher complexity”, when the gymnastics committee banned a move of hers, along with Ludmilla T. Her teammate whose “Turescheva Turn“, was also banned, because too many gymnasts were breaking their wrists.
I love these skills and would like to see gymnasts perform them again, sorry some are banned now, which ruins the creativity of gymnasts these days. So much of what we see today is simply repetitive, after awhile it's boring.
Again? I’d love to be that flexible EVER!!! lol ☺️ I do have mad respect for these incredible people. Such hard work and dedication, yet one small mistake or accident can derail their entire futures. I don’t care how flexible they are at that point, that’s a lot of weight to constantly carry around on their shoulders. Cheers!
These girls are so much better on the bean than the ones now. And their tricks are so awesome!! I wish they still incorporated these cool mounts and handstands!! So much more interesting!!
Thank god all of these skills are possible and recognized…..I can’t imagine the hardships our race would have to endure without a group of girls willing to perform these. Again…..thank god
Dang I quit gymnastics cuz I developed an eating disorder and became too weak to practice (Was 12) Hopefully I can develop better habits and go back to practicing :D
The reason why they’re rarely done in competition anymore: 1.) Extremely difficult (i.e. Mo Salto on UB & Produnova vault) 2.) Don’t weigh a lot in points despite the toughness of the skill (i.e. Biles dismount on BB not shown here) 3.) Doesn’t weigh a lot of points despite it being a pleasant addition to their routine as an artisitic element perhaps? (i.e. The Liukin on BB, the Comaneci on UB) 4.) The skill is hideous aesthetically AND still not given a lot of points to pull your total score up (i.e. The Lee mount on BB, the Whorley) 5.) Straight up banned skill.
Pensar que cuando fui niña al hacer taekwondo y ballet tuve esa elasticidad !!! Pero en Uruguay no había ni hay ningún lugar para hacer este tipo de gimnasia..Siempre quise practicarla pero jamás pude con el vértigo que me da. Ahora ya tengo 41 años y hace 20 años que no hago deporte. De todas formas espero los juegos olímpicos para ver esta disciplina.
I would be black and blue all over every inch of my body, cast on every place possible, would not be able to walk for a year....well I guess what I'm trying to say is I would end up killing myself if I even tried to attempt to do what these beautiful, angelic, graceful, talented, superb gymnist do!!! Thank you ALL for every beautiful routine that you practice so hard to make pure perfection for ALL of us to sit and enjoy watching ALL of this beautiful talent!!! Simply beautiful ❤
What you don’t see is the behind the scenes. There are so many drills starting from the time they are very young just to correctly build muscles. Coaches come up with lots of drills to target specific parts of the skill. These skills also build upon other skills. A huge part of gymnastics is coach involvement. You see the high level competitions where the gymnasts are flawless but you aren’t seeing that the coaches spot these gymnasts through skills for years before they bring them to competition. You also have to remember, the first thing you learn is gymnastics is how to fall. I teach gymnastics and the first thing we do with all our new gymnasts 3+ is have them tell us their name and practice rolling back. It’s all drilled into them for years. But yes, it would just take one slip for them to fall
It's Sabina Cojocar performing her eponymous skill and the clip is from 2001 - th-cam.com/video/Id9m4JxAmzQ/w-d-xo.html Nadia Comaneci retired 20 years earlier
And I hope that everyone here noticed that these girls didnt look like they power life or are on steroids. They are amazing to look at and are strong flexible and neat. Oh and I think we need to give Jack his jacket and admit that the Chinese gymnasts are sorely underrated, they are just fantastic.
All the comments talking about how these aren’t “aesthetically pleasing” as if that should matter. Like no one worries about male gymnasts and if their skill and athleticism is attractive enough. Messy.
Jesus is are savior he died on the cross for us and rose from the dead 3 days later choose them to live a happy life forever ✝️ 🙏 ❤ btw not forcing anything on anyone

These moves are just mind-blowing!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pretty strong at that age but I'm not sure I could do a one arm handstand onto a balance beam.

Don’t watch then, seriously. Comments like that do nothing but degrade the hardworking, talented gymnasts of today.
Thank you so much... Originality should be an added value of gymnastics ❤️
In the era of many of these skills, it WAS. (Points awarded for ROV--Risk, Originality, Virtuosity)
Que espetáculo de ginastas! 👏👏👏👏👏😙👍
Damn, that one handed beam mount!
Each one of these girls is phenomenal! I am so impressed! Much respect!
not only are these skills rare, some of them are banned!! i would sooo love to go back to the 1980s-1990s and live that gymnastics era
It was great.
I wouldn't do that

I competed a number of these skills in the 90s as a level 9 AO and level 10.

Wow I've been watching Gymnastics for over 30 years and that was the best of the best.
I’m a swimmer so I don’t know much about gymnastics, however I can say that if I ever attempted any of these I would simply break my spine lol
I'm also a swimmer
Wow lol
Yeah I´ll need a helicoper to help me too 😂
You wouldn’t break your spine lol
im in gymnastics and i technically do have a fracture in my spine from it lol
Woah that vault at 2m is amazing 👏 😍. Lovely to see some 'old skool' skills, thank you 😊
2:00
SO MANY of those need to be used more often! 😍😍😍
Gymnastics used to be way more fun than they are now! v_v
No gymnastics skills can't compare in the old days.
I hadn't seen these girls in year! Gives me chills! Amazing! Thanks for posting 👍
Wow these are really cool! I also love the upbeat music in the video
One of the best gymnastic videos I’ve seen.
Same here.
These ladies are awesome. They are talented and really, really, really strong. I am amazed!
Beautiful, enticing and so much inspiring!.
A fusion of rarest skills can get a perfect 10
Truly awesome demonstration of female power!!!🌱🌻
It’s so amazing to think that humans are able to do this.
Some of them look absolutely fantastic!
I absolutely hate that arabesques aren’t in the CoP anymore. Scales are fine and all, but arabesques are beautiful.
Got goosebumps watching these awesome girls!!!
Yo that sideways twisting backflip to around the world on the beam is SICK
2:36 omg i love this
It’s Shannon millers very famous pass on balance beam.
@@agent606 tysm!

Boy, I'd love to be that flexible again! A long life of many injuries, though, has taken that flexibility away....

I miss the different mounts to the UB and some of these more unusual skills like that shoulder stand (?)
These girls are so much better on the bean than the ones now. And their tricks are so awesome!! I wish they still incorporated these cool mounts and handstands!! So much more interesting!!
Dang did you see that flip to get into the bars!
Some additions: Ma dismount, Strong BB, Strong UB, Garrison, Okino, Kim dismount on BB, Shushunova, and so on
Yassss my fave Shannon Miller is included here!
Gals Rock! Absolutely stunning, very beautiful!!!!
WOW. Absolutely amazing!!!💥💥💥
I think you should have added Nadia Comaneci's descent from the asymmetrical parallel.
Excellent performance congratulations 🙏
Holy crap...this make the balance beam stuff you see now seem tame and boring. What the heck happened to that event?
La gimnasia debe volver a ser lo que era, artística.
Thank god all of these skills are possible and recognized…..I can’t imagine the hardships our race would have to endure without a group of girls willing to perform these. Again…..thank god

Dang I quit gymnastics cuz I developed an eating disorder and became too weak to practice
(Was 12) Hopefully I can develop better habits and go back to practicing :D
You can do it! 💞
This is why women should rule the world- and I don't mean gymnastics.
The reason why they’re rarely done in competition anymore:
1.) Extremely difficult (i.e. Mo Salto on UB & Produnova vault)
2.) Don’t weigh a lot in points despite the toughness of the skill (i.e. Biles dismount on BB not shown here)

In terms of skills and technique, no sports come near to Gymnastics
Jaw dropping skills 😳

I totally agree ❤
Wait, were others doing the "Liukin" on the balance beam before Nastia? (Yes, I know it's not in the code anymore).
We are always pushing the level of ones abilities and level of fitness, being the best one can achieve, however the potential for serious injury…
So cool!
what i mean by that is i love the video so much when u said fat
Flying angels!
Sufro de tinnitus. Me dicen sientate en la barra y me caigo.

Wasn’t 2:11 Mukhina? Such a sad story that coaches are able to get away with abusing their athletes then and now.
Wow the moves make today's gymnasts look like amateurs!
Ich musste auf hören mit dem turnen ich bin vom Balken und habe jetzt einen ginikbruch
