Cathy Rigby stated that Olga has done so much for this sport. So many don't understand that Olga started the USA explosion of interest in gymnastics in 1972. Olga was such a role model to so many little girls (including me).
She absolutely was. I feel like her, Natalia Yurchenko, Nadia, and a couple of others from the 1980’s really helped develop gymnastics to what it became.
People went crazy for women's gymnastics due to Olga in the 72 Olympics. She returned in 76 but Nadia stole her thunder. Then American girls wanted to be the next Nadia. Nadia's coach came to the US and trained Americans including Mary Lou.

So glad the crowd showed her so much love - she deserved every bit of it. I’m from Scotland and was born in the late 70s. I’d never had an interest in gymnastics and where I live in the highlands there wasn’t any facility or teachers, so it’s not something I was aware of. I can certainly see why so many young girls took up gymnastics after seeing Olga and Nadia in the 70s - they were incredible and it makes my jaw drop seeing such incredible strength mixed with beauty in their moves. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I'm from Inverness, and was born in 1980. For a long time, all we had was the ice rink, and the old baths. If my parents wanted to go to a gym, they would have to find an instructor, with a private gym.
Olga was an angel. Nadia was spectacular and deserved all the praise she got. but Olga was something special. she revolutionized gymnastics for women 🤍
I watch Olga's floor routine quite often because it was artistically-choreographed and meant to be humorous as well. Put in Olga's beloved "little sprite" personality, and you have a really enjoyable routine for her and for the crowd.
Have always remember watching this brilliant gymnast when I was at school, she was truly inspiring to watch and I was gobsmacked how she bent her body like that.
Olga was such a beautiful gymnast and she was always ahead of her time, pushing the limits of what was expected. She always looked like she was having fun too, which makes it even more fun to watch her routines.

For me Olga was better than Nadia in today's standards they work harder Simone biles should of gotten a score 10 but for some reason they don't give ten's, if you go back and watch Nadia's 10 don't think that was a 10 sorry but that's my opinion

I love them both & actually got to see the Russia gymnastic team starring Olga when they performed at the Boston Garden years ago..we had front row seats in front of yhe balance beam & everyone, especially me, was in such awe of her mastery. With that said, some of Olga's older performances deserved the much coveted score of a perfect 10. Olga should have been the 1st recipient of the perfect 10, Nadia rightly won perfect 10's all over the place...all I'm saying is this honor should have gone to Olga 1st
Even here at what was basically end of her career, you just couldn't take your eyes off her--because of the personality and because she was still performing better than a lot of other gymnasts would've at the same stage.
1972 was my first Olympics to see on TV. I was 13. Thanks to Olga is gymnastics my favorite sport to watch, even men’s gymnastics. Swimming, diving is good, but gymnastics is my sport to watch. ‘76 Olympics was my sophomore year of high school.
Take a snapshot at 3:25. THAT ladies and gentleman is what it's all about. Medals are nice but that smile is what means the most! Love you Olga, never stop smiling.
Concordo in pieno ❤la preferisco a Nadia Comaneci seppur eccezionale ma più algida e sicuramente favorita rispetto a Olga Korbut che ha creato e anticipato tempi con passione e cuore simpatia semplicità ed un talento unici e inimitabili ❤
@@annalisazanella9458 Nadia was so serious - iN 1976 IN Montréal, photographers asked her to smile. She replied ''I didn't come here to smile''. - I give her a perfect 10.00 for that reply.
Olga was a Legend. They may have been a little generous with the score, as she did have problems with the landing, but I'm glad that she went out on top!
About 30 years later, I was part of a back up support team for an international gymnastics event. I stood by for an entire day, just off the floor. There she was coaching, right next to me, the little girl I saw on TV in 1972. She drew as much attention from the fans that day, as any of the current athletes.
No expensive outfit, no professional stylist to do her hair and no coddling for her. Olga roughed it like no other gymnast. Biles would not have lasted in that era of ballet on those hard wood floors. No way. Biles is an acrobat… not a gymnast. There’s a huge difference between the two.
@@sinhueherrera8984 Now knowing the training practices back then, do you really think she was in love with what she was doing? Gymnasts trained an obscene amount of hours, they were literally BEATEN if they didn't do well. Come on.
Olga Korbut is the best ever! The first ever 10.0 should go to Olga in 1972, even the TV guy says: “I’d give her an Eleven” Isn’t she the most beautiful angel 👼 too? 😍❤️🥰
Actually the best ever was Nadia Comănești with 7 perfect 10's. Olga was the one to beat.I was also born in Romania, Nadia was a total unknown,very young,very thin& had to be perfect at the height of communism with very little to practice on,not much to eat.I know,I was there when Ceaușescu shook her hand,it was the only thing we would watch on our small black&white TV. The Russians were already well known,very good and under the kind of communism that gave their athletes anything they needed. Olga&Nadia were both excellent.
@@francescakatz2884 Nadia was the European AA Champion in 1975. & won 3 individual apparatus golds. She was definitely considered to be a contender in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
May I ask you something? Do you still refer to yourself as a Soviet or do you refer to yourself now as Russian? Just curious and no offense intended. (I hope Google translate gets my words right). 😊
Love how Lyudmila pats Korbut on her back and still congratulates her. Korbut did NOT like Tourischeva, and Tourischeva did NOT like Korbut. It's so nice to see them put their differences aside on both of their last nights of their careers.
Olga's face was tripping her most of the Montreal games as she had been overshadowed by Comaneci. She had been such a darling four years earlier and had been living for the last four years on the reputation of the worlds favourite gymnast and I think she found it difficult playing second fiddle to someone else. I loved Olga but feel she knew her time was over by this games as Nadia's routines were more daring and full of perfection
Beautiful and very unique beam routine by Olga. . I find the beam routines today are very similar to one another. Would like to see more of these Olga Korbut moves.
I feel bad that Olga was overlooked so much. She was so innovative and apart from her abuse, she was capable of being such a brilliant gymnast! And Chernobyl by the way! Ugh so many struggles!
Смотрю и не нахожу слов. Нет, здесь дело не в профессионализме. Это нечто другое - это МОЩЬ РУССКОГО ЧЕЛОВЕКА, ЗА ГРАНЬЮ ПОНИМАНИЯ. КАКОЕ ВЛАДЕНИЕ ТЕЛОМ !!!!
@@aurealuciabarbosacamargoca2176 E Nádia só teve o 10 pq não era soviética! Nas barras obrigatórias isso fica bem óbvio, Olga a superou nisso e tirou menos.
Olga Korbut is an icon. She is the reason Women’s Gymnastics 🤸♂️ is the must-see event every Olympics quadrium.
The back extension Olga performed on the balance beam is second to none. I could see the pain and concentration on her face… she was magnificent.
Cathy Rigby stated that Olga has done so much for this sport. So many don't understand that Olga started the USA explosion of interest in gymnastics in 1972. Olga was such a role model to so many little girls (including me).
Me too! 🤸
My grandmother always called me her Little Olga. I started gymnastics at the age of 4 in 1974. Lol
I agree. And to me, she will always be the GOAT. I never liked Nadia Comaneci
Same. I wanted to be just like her. She was like watching milkweed float on the breeze. Such elegant grace.
Me too. Started gymnastics soon after the Olympics 1972
Olga Korbut was the birth of modern gymnastics. Her influence can never be overstated.
She absolutely was. I feel like her, Natalia Yurchenko, Nadia, and a couple of others from the 1980’s really helped develop gymnastics to what it became.
Unfortunately it became an muscled competition without any grace actually. Discovering that girl makes me nostalgic.
People went crazy for women's gymnastics due to Olga in the 72 Olympics. She returned in 76 but Nadia stole her thunder. Then American girls wanted to be the next Nadia. Nadia's coach came to the US and trained Americans including Mary Lou.
@@MethildePlenty of modern gymnasts with grace. They just don't always score as high in difficulty.
@@LulaMae21
If you look at Simone Biles, to much muscle is unsightly, they were much more thin and competitives in the seventies.
Olga inspired girls around the world to take up gymnastics. She’s a living legend. ❤😊

I read her biography - such a character too!

As a little girl in 76 I LOVED Nadia…but now? Team Olga ALL the way!!!!!
Even today, I find myself coming back here to watch the grace and precision of Olga and Nadia.
100%!!! Simone Biles is a fantastic talent , but has none of the grace...
Me as well!

The Russians were already well known,very good and under the kind of communism that gave their athletes anything they needed. Olga&Nadia were both excellent.
Спасибо Вам! Очень приятно читать такое о нашей любимой землячке!
@@francescakatz2884 I am totally agree with you, both are the top.
Thank you for share this.
@@francescakatz2884 Nadia was the European AA Champion in 1975. & won 3 individual apparatus golds. She was definitely considered to be a contender in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
Today's gymnasts would do well to study Olga - her sleek flowing beautiful movements. I haven't seen anything like this in the last many years.
And the gymnasts all look like linebackers these days.
I know, they are all tumblers and tricksters except Nastia.
@@dmmchugh3714 difference in difficulty, if we're honest
Back then no padding or springs
Since 1982 this happens...
Боже как приятно ее видеть!А я ее много раз видела а Лужниках,маленькая в каракулев.шубке,моего роста тоже,общительная
Little Olga one of my all time favorite...She is so Bolshj & elegant like the movies we watched in ballet
Bolshoi...
Olga, magnifica e inolvidable
Какие поющие руки, здорово, советская школа! Работа балетмейстеров на высоте!
Thats the Bolshoi in her...I know the Bolshoi moves anywhere...
May I ask you something? Do you still refer to yourself as a Soviet or do you refer to yourself now as Russian? Just curious and no offense intended. (I hope Google translate gets my words right). 😊
@@peach7210 мы были счастливы жить в Советской стране .
Olga deixou um legado incrível na ginástica, fez muito pela ginástica👏👏👏👏
Such wonderful line and refinement
100%
Спасибо большое за все, всем Советским спортсменам, беззаветно сражавшихся за престиж нашей Родины...
Ольга 😍. I love this dismount!
Love how Lyudmila pats Korbut on her back and still congratulates her. Korbut did NOT like Tourischeva, and Tourischeva did NOT like Korbut. It's so nice to see them put their differences aside on both of their last nights of their careers.
exactly my thoughts when I saw them like that!
Вот тогда мы были великой страной, которой можно было гордиться!
la reina, la reina que revolucionó la gimnasia olímpica, sin duda alguna la mejor de todos los tiempos, pasarán años, pero nadie la superará
Elena Mukhina.
Помним! Гордимся! СССР!
при первой же возможности уехала в США, прогнала совкового мужа, вышла за американца и очень счстлива
@@regiomontanus2438, mas o que importa a vida pessoa dele? O importe é que ela foi uma atleta de alto nível....
I was ten and still remember fabulous and charming Olga.It's never been better..GOAT...
From France, I Thank the Lord for Olga Korbut 🙏🙂🌷 What an example for me, when i was young 💓
"I would like to take that balance beam and stick it in her eye."
-Olga Korbut, 1976
Легенда
Olga forever!
Olga's face was tripping her most of the Montreal games as she had been overshadowed by Comaneci. She had been such a darling four years earlier and had been living for the last four years on the reputation of the worlds favourite gymnast and I think she found it difficult playing second fiddle to someone else. I loved Olga but feel she knew her time was over by this games as Nadia's routines were more daring and full of perfection
Watching this vintage videos-with their vintage leotards- are more pleasing than the high-cut ones now. No slippage!
I remember these games. She looked so unhappy and unwell.
Olga was a inspiration to me. She was phenomenal athlete. ❤
I had never even heard of gymnastics B4 Olga...❤
I loved watching Olga. She was my favourite gymnast.
Уже виде надпись USSR,Советский Союз,сердце захватывает!!!Овечка Корбут-наша гордость!!!
C 1989-х годов живёт в США и очень счастлива
Ольга Корбут на века!!!❤
Olga and Nadia have always been my favorites!
I am 58 years old and I always loved Russian gymnasts. Olga is legend such as Mustafina. They are so beautiful to watch.
Beautiful and very unique beam routine by Olga. . I find the beam routines today are very similar to one another. Would like to see more of these Olga Korbut moves.
What a stunning routine.Olga had such grace Beautiful to watch ❤❤❤
I remember this so well. CAN NOT believe I was 8 years old at the time
Olga and Nadia were awesome athletes!I remember watching them when I was in high shcool.I never forgot their performances!❤😊
Akrobatikus elemek.😍💎❤🌟Fantasztikus, nagyon ügyes!😍😇
E' sempre una gioia vederla!!!!
В эту девочку не возможно не влюбиться!❤
The best gymnast EVER
Poor Olga. She was exhausted here.
Девочка замечательная!!!
I feel bad that Olga was overlooked so much. She was so innovative and apart from her abuse, she was capable of being such a brilliant gymnast! And Chernobyl by the way! Ugh so many struggles!
Why do you feel she is overlooked?
She is famous for her accomplishments
To say that Nadia Comaneci was "putting the pressure on with a perfect 10" is a bit of an understatement.
My favorite of all time! Olga should have scored a 10 on uneven bars!
Ольга Корбут моя землячка , белорусска, горжусь
What a cool dismount! Olga was completely unique, her moves were so fluid, unbelievable talent. Glad she went out with the silver here. ❤
Elegance simply not seen today
The world needs more Olgas!
So much respect ❤
Удивительная идея!
Love her 💕
Wow, my birth year and this is the Olympics operated with so much style and grace 🤩
Una maravilla
Amazing!! Beautiful!!
I can’t do that. She is fantastic!
Que belleza de ejecución, que dominio de su cuerpo. Y que energía. Admirable.
Queen!
Olga is the reason I feel in love with gymnastics when I was an 8 year old girl
She was a joy to watch
Grace and elegance, power and precision, beauty and joy...
Olga was the best gymnast in the world. I did gymnastics after the 1st time I watched her.
Wonderful, Beautiful !
She was the best and still is in my books ❤️
Мы тебя помним, Оля...
She did the thomas salto banned for how dangerous it was....the pressure they put on her was insane
Olga had a cameo in 'The Bronze'. Pretty cool.😊
Смотрела специально, супер.
Olga the GOAT
Смотрю и не нахожу слов. Нет, здесь дело не в профессионализме. Это нечто другое - это МОЩЬ РУССКОГО ЧЕЛОВЕКА, ЗА ГРАНЬЮ ПОНИМАНИЯ. КАКОЕ ВЛАДЕНИЕ ТЕЛОМ !!!!
She is from Belarus.
La mejor de sus tiempos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕
I loved watching her
Ольга вошла в историю мира.
The great Olga Korbut. She would have got a perfect 10 if she did not take a step on the dismount.
10!!??LOL!!
Ela só não teve 10 porque era russa .
@@aurealuciabarbosacamargoca2176 E Nádia só teve o 10 pq não era soviética! Nas barras obrigatórias isso fica bem óbvio, Olga a superou nisso e tirou menos.
