This is my favorite Shushunova floor exercise, wonderful choreography, expression and dance. Hard to believe she was only about 12 years old here. RIP Elena
Awesome tumbling, pretty good dance, too!! She was honestly great on all four events but floor is where she really shines. R.I.P. Yelena Shushunova always a joy to watch ❤
@@Marketoromagnolo Possibly she was on the team that was supposed to go. But there were so many other Soviet stars and Shushunova was so young and not as consistent. That said, she did win all-around bronze at the competition where all the boycotting countries attended. See link below. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics_at_the_Friendship_Games
@@maxglendale7614 well she already won over szabo in this competition, and with same score as retton, but she dind't train the compolsuries, so who knows?

She was 15
she was 15, tbh she might have been in the 1984 olympics if it weren’t for the boycott
@@joshwebber2531 she was in the Alternate Games in olomouc
@@joshwebber2531 She absolutely would. She made the Soviet team.
@@bbhouk1 Yup! She won the bronze in the all around there.

She's way ahead of her time. That second tumbling run is incredible til this day.
R.I.P Elena, saw you perform many times live and you were one of the best. Can't believe you are gone.
RIP Elena

Probably not. Mostepanova and Yurchenko were more likely winners.
