After loosing the team title in '87, the soviets was "this shit ain't happening again!" Haha This is absolutely the strongest worlds team ever and runner up is the '91 worlds team.
What a team!!! The best EVER! without a doubt. Stuttgart 89 will always be my favourite competition. I will never be able to forget that floor routine from Bogui, that awesome, incredible, perfect vault from Laschenova, that original coreography from Strazheva or that difficult beam routine from Dudnik. Muuuuuch love.
Has any gymnast ever been cuter than Lashenova? She didn't have the long, graceful lines and perfect form of the others but she had so much energy and bounce. She was more like a sprite than a human girl.
I would love to see more of the Porgy and Bess routine that she was rehearsing but couldn't perform either because she was pregnant in 1992 Olympics and Latvia was too small to raise a full team. Wish she could have done one more Olympics I see Laschenova as a great character actress the clown like steps and depiction of human condition in 1988 Olympics Chris Taylor's writing of this Floor Gem in her series in the Couch Gymnast magazine was spot on
Beautiful clear sharp video, wish I had first seen this team with such clarity in the film. Would love to see a dance alone video of 1989 with such beautiful cinematograpy? photography? Elena Sazonenkova had a beautifully choreographed routine of Bach the following year, and her dance and emoting was so beautiful, the folk dance in 1989 was not up to her later choreo and the brilliant choreo of all the other 89 Soviet gymnasts
Gymnastics and sports in general was always had been considered by the soviet union as a reflection of their political and military dominance in the world.

this team was so unbelievably good, i never get tired of watching the team competition from this year!
Possibly one of the strongest teams of all time. That fact that Baitova was considered the weak link speaks for itself.
Never mind, this is THE strongest team of all time.

Wow... absolutely iconic team
Nostalgia pura!! Cuando la gimnasia artistica era genial!!!
I'd love to see the floor routines with their FX music. Such unique dance moves.

I'd say she was exceptionally graceful, but yeah you're right, she was adorable.

Diemme Olessia Dudnik was the one I was a fan of back then, so many injuries then trouble with the illness of her parents...
That dismount by Lashanova at 2:33 was the same a Simone Biles AMAZING

LOVE LOVE LOVE Svetlana Boginskaya!!!!
Along w/ the 1980 Olympic team, I feel this is one of the best soviet teams ever! Boguinskaia, Lashenova, Baitova, Stragheva, Dudnik and ????
Ruffian144 Sazonenkova.
god this team was amazing
In my view, Natalya Lashenova was one of the all time bests. But she was shadowed by her much fancied team-mates like Shushunova and Boginskaya.
Brilliant as always!
Not much to say other than that was perfect :)
omg, love her more and more!
Dream Team!
Bhs+layout+ 1:51 IS DREAM BEAM COMBO
laschenova was so agressive with her backflips!

Russians are the best gymnasts.. their techniques and routines are exceptional.

Is it Potorac doing the Yurchenko full in the background at 0:15?

Most common spelling is STRAZHEVA, Olga.

They were a great team. Too bad they won the Silver. Bogi didn’t even make the all-around.
