Thank you for showing Lydia Gorbik, she was so graceful and the film I am used to looking at was so washed out but grateful to have it. Would like to see more of Gorbik with clearer film. Appreciate you montages.
To me, the Soviets don't get enough credit in gymnastics for creating skills. i mean, like today we see the Chinese doing all these crazy skills, but then i watched this video and i saw all of the skills that the chinese do. and people think that the chinese were the mastermines of gymnastics when the Soviets really were
I just remembered which move I dislike almost as much as the wolf turn, lol. This is great. So many amazing gymnasts over the years, too bad more of them aren't household names.
Wish beam still looked like this..
Thanks for the lovely montage

4:59 - perfection! Best triple twist I've ever seen on any apparatus!
Olga Mostepanova: my favourite beam worker of all time.
There's a lot of footage I had never seen before... loved 2:02!

That side aerial with two handspring stepouts near the beginning was sooooo pretty.

absolutely loved their beam work. Just flowed together so well
the fronthandspring double front dismount off beam at 3:07!!!!!! who was that? so incredible
Absolutly wonderful. They were quite the "beamers". I love your videos.
It's two layout stepouts, so difficult. Olessia Dudnik, 1989- queen of beam.
@7Millionaire7 The girl doing the front tumbling is Oksana Limaryova
Beautiful!
Such great and creative gymnastics :)
3:04 is like a gainer-Rulfova! That's crazy! Never seen a gymnast perform it out of that take-off! Wow!!!
I know she mostly competed for the Soviet Union, but isn't that clip of Gutsu at 4:38 from Europeans where she competed for Ukraine? ;)
1:04 is actually Irina Baraksanova in 1984, 2:22 is Elena Shevchenko in 1987, 3:30 is Vera Kolesnikova at the 1985 Tokyo Cup.
I love this montage ... it's beautiful!
Thank you! It is Ludmilla Stovbchataya.
who is that really tall girl at 3:32? great montage! the soviets were so amazing on beam, even by todays standards!

Who makes that handspring double front off beam? :)
Agree with you - beautiful :D
