Thank you for posting these. Nadia was amazing for her time. I miss such gorgeous gymnastics as Mostepanova's. I wonder why she wasn't credited with the "Onodi".
ReplyDeleteSilivas is probably my all-time favorite gymnast. Love her so much!
I love, love, LOVE Yang Bo on beam. I wish she'd been more consistent, but when she hit, there were very, very few who could touch her. I've also seen a clip of her compulsory beam at the 1991 Worlds and it was the most perfect compulsory beam I'd ever seen. And she only got something like a 9.950. It was sickening. But thank you for posting because watching Yang Bo do layout stepouts is something I could watch all day.
