    I would love to see modern-day gymnastics utilize the low bar more and have more transitions like they did back in the 70s. Nowadays, it's just basically a high bar routine.

      With the bars as far as they are today, many of the skills they did before are now impossible. Variety is also limited, since there is no option for a switch involving any other part of the body except the hands, and there needs to be a lot more momentum built up for a transition to happen.

    • @gothgirl4evr881
      @gothgirl4evr881 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Finally found others that feel the same way I do. With the bars so far apart there's less fluidity in the transitions and the routines may only use the low bar to mount the bars and then spend majority of routine on the high bar all doing the same handful of skills.

      @@gothgirl4evr881 exactly, they have all grown boringly near-identical. I just remember how great Nadia and Olga were to watch, their routines were exciting. Now we are watching the women do men's moves with the occasional switch to the low bar, just to make it official that it's not a man's routine.

    I really miss the performances from back in the 70s and 80s when the bars were closer together and they worked both bars evenly. Now most of the routines are done on the high bar. The routines had more fluidity when they were closer together in my opinion. They were stunningly beautiful

    • @misstekhead
      @misstekhead 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      She definitely had her moments and could be dynamic, but there were some definite flaws in her handstands. In particular, her transition to low bar or when she would cast to handstand for pirouettes. She had a tendency to overarch her back and releases were slightly crooked or off center sometimes. She would fling herself so high into the air and with that much amplitude/air time I’m surprised she wasn’t able to correct in time.
      These are such minor nitpicks and with that said, my goodness, Dominique Dawes had the best tapped giants of almost any gymnast I’ve ever witnessed. Man or woman. Kelli Hill had a knack for putting together some of greatest bar routines. Elyse Ray is another one of her bar protégés.
      Ugh, it’s unfortunate what we now know about Kelli Hill being problematic and similarly as abusive as the rest of USAG/USGF coaches.

    The sheer talent from these ladies is phenomenal. I could sit here and watch their gymnastics routines all day long, happily! When I was younger, I loved Nadia Commenicci (sp?). Mary Lou Retton was in the Olympics while I was attending my own gymnastics classes. I wish I could have started at a younger age, and been better at it. I so desperately wanted to be a professional gymnast.

      Same here. I unfortunately had to move to a different state when I had just made the gymnastics team, in fact we moved on the day of what would've been my first competition so I never got to compete. Where we moved didn't have a good gym anywhere close to us so I had to quit long before I should've. I often wonder what I could've done had I not had to leave the gym I trained at so young.

    There were a couple of these where I slowed it down to half speed to watch the transitions. It would be wonderful to see some of these again. I know it's all compacted in to get the points as high as possible now, but I still think something unusual would be nice to see once in a while.

      ​@@catinabox3048I think that has taken so much away from the performances on uneven bars. I say that in every comment section I see on bars and this is the first one I've been in that I see others that feel the same way. It's gotten to the point that women aren't doing uneven bars they are doing high bar routines where they use the low bar to mount the apparatus. It isn't really much different then men's high bar routines.

  • @lovewasawillow
    @lovewasawillow ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Just stunning routines, so much more dynamic than the Shaposhnikova ping pong routines of today. Would love to see more variation back in UB but the way FIG is going, I don't think they will ever do it. For some reason they seem happy to watch the sport decline before their eyes.

    • @stanleygagner
      @stanleygagner ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree that modern bars can be very formulaic, but I don't think the problem is actually because of Shaposhnikova and pak transitions. They are used frequently, but the alternative is some of the very dull transitions we saw in the 1990s, like standing on the low bar, that little "pop" thing kim and others do, and poorly executed bails that don't end in a handstand. Dina Kochekova's routine was greatly improved by a pak salto and shaposh, so it's really the rest of the routine and underutilization of the low bar that is the issue with some of today's routines, not the transition skills themselves.

    • @lovewasawillow
      @lovewasawillow ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@stanleygagner While I see your point, I have to disagree. You can look at routines from the 2012 quad and before that to see good examples of what UB routines used to be like - routines like Huang Qiushuang’s, He Kexin’s, Tweddle’s, even Kyla Ross or Jordyn Wieber’s. Much more dynamic routines with more skill variety, that aren’t all practically the same routine over and over. Imo the transitions weren’t bothersome to watch at all. I’d rather have a poorly executed toe shoot at this point than sit through the same routine 100 times in a competition.

      I agree but even floor has become less creative it's more about how high powered difficult tumbling passes then it is about a mixture of dance skills and tumbling skills. I miss watching the exhibition meets back in the 90s where it wasn't a competition but a show where the rules were relaxed a little and the gymnasts could use rock and roll, country, or whatever music not just instrumental and they could where costumes that matched their routines. They don't do those anymore.

      Not for many years. The FIG's era of total repression/eating out Nelli Kim five times a day began later.

      I'm assuming there will one that you do for best Olympic routines which will include them. Most people don't realize this wasn't for Olympic performances from what I've read in the comments

    Being these bars back - and compulsories! Gymnastics is so boring today. The grace and elegance has been sacrificed to power.

      Look at the form of these gymnasts. Legs properly straight, toes properly pointed throughout, legs squeezed together. The power gymnasts of today make moves look ugly. They need more ballet training especially the American girls. Legs gapped, toes turned in and not stretched. Watch these girls striving for absolute perfection. Beautiful.

    I miss the creativity and originality of the older style routines. The code of points has ruined the style and flair of bars by making every routine look the same. Handstands are all, but they are boring to watch.
