The balletic beauty of these performances is truly breathtaking. Vera Caslavska was absolutely beautiful to see in these clips. Thanks for sharing.

Love you, Vera! Rest In Peace🙏💕💐

So beautiful to watch. . Modern gymnastics are fine but this is something else imo..

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

One more comment: 1) I see the low tucked turns Simone does now! 2) bars was nuts. I am glad some of that have changed. Though it is fun seeing the basket move, I used to do that in middle school. 3) the floor routines were really fun to watch! And we have to remember they didn’t have a spring floor!

[@jordanh6760]

I like the dance element of the time. The routines were prettier. I wish they would bring some of that back and combine it with the powerhouse moves they do today. That would be something incredible.

God I love Vera's UB mount!!

[@gingerp6631]

Thank you for posting this. As a gymnastics fan, I appreciate seeing how the sport has evolved.

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Wouldn't it be a blast for some of us old heads to train and compete routines like these !!!

[@faukerconsulting835]

🤔I still remember my first compulsory routines from the early 80's and they were referred to as class vs. level as they are today and you had to score a 32.00 or higher competing USGF to advance to the next class...I do recall a spring board just like these shown before springs were added followed by one that used air compression and we loved that one...we also didn't have a floor with springs, just a mat we pulled out and unfolded to tumble on, and we had to set everything up and take it down every day for practice...our bars were set close like they are shown here...oh yeah, that floor routine music is forever burned into my brain!!! The arthritis is evident all over.🙃

[@genlyai5055]

@@faukerconsulting835 That is a great story. Would love to hear more.

That sideways vault landing looks hard even today!

Thank you!

The hair style of women at that time that time is so beautiful.

[@hankmcaff9350]

who is on beam at 4:25? she's wonderful!!

[@mokunju8296]

I just loved both Larisa! Petrik had a super solid BB routine for that era, sadly, she just got a bronze medal for that exercise!, the same happened to Dudnik with her super BB routine in 1989(Well, she got the silver medal there). Latynina on floor was amazing, she had good rhythm, interpretation, her routine was so dynamic, I understand why she won a lot of medals in that apparatus. She was flawless!

[@genlyai5055]

Petrik was the most overrated gymnast of the entire SOV team of the era. There is NO comparison to the brilliant genius Dudnik!

[@mariozeldamaniac]

When the beam had just 8 centimeters.

[@karaamundson3964]

...and was solid oak, no leather, no spring. I don't see any of these competitors having balance checks, much less falling. Another world. 🌎

[@DataNinjah]

Acutal women in women's gymnastics! Lovely. :)

[@oliviaaybar4602]

Do the parallel bars distance between each other were smaller at that time? I see the gymnast were able to maneuvers their legs with smaller range than now.

[@rg1whiteywins598]

Note how tall these female gymnasts are.

[@user-vq6iw5vl8o]

oh well...Latynina and Caslavska had the same height, 5'3...Petrik was 5'4...it's not like they were 5'7 or 5'8 or 5'9...

[@genlyai5055]

@@user-vq6iw5vl8o News flash: most gymnasts now are 5'1'' or under.

[@yuttasakarakkitsakul4288]

@@genlyai5055 I think they're smaller than the past because it helps them do balance well on beam.

[@ryohn5468]

Korbut was 4 ft 11. Retton was 4ft 11 also. Brake drugs stunt growth.

[@SummerofKittyLove]

The bent legs on bars are not pretty to look at but the dancing on floor is lovely.

[@karaamundson3964]

But the bent legs were inevitably followed up by absolutely elegant, expressive moves with the body fully extended!

[@yuttasakarakkitsakul4288]

Eventough it is simple when compared to modern gymnastics, I could not perform like them.

[@user-oo1me4xj2k]

Действительно, предвзятое судейство. Особенно в отношении Петрик на бревне. У Ларисы было семь акробатических элементов, включая арабское вперед и назад, переворот назад через одну руку, против кувырком Веры ( всего 6 элементов и гораздо более легких). У Петрик растяжка лучше. Ни одного покачивания. У Веры ошибка при соскоке. И тем не менее чемпионкой на бревне стала чехословацкая гимнастка, а у Петрик только третье место.

[@genlyai5055]

Поскольку СОВЕТСКИЕ команды всегда преувеличивали и одобряли, у вас нет абсолютно никаких законных претензий. Давайте поговорим о совершенно неоправданной ничьей Петрика за золото с Чаславской в ​​Мехико, что потребовало значительных изменений в счете, не так ли?

[@ryohn5468]

I can translate the French language. It will take some time.

[@user-er3mj6lj6h]

Боже, сколько, Царство Ей Небесное, ошибок у легендарной Веры Чаславской... На вольных - вообще четыре повтора: четыре приземления в шпагат, да и все четыре раза не чисто !!! И Петрик, и Латынина по этому видео выступали гораздо оригинальнее, сложнее и лучше.

[@nikkispark6477]

любыми средствами нужно было прервать гегемонию советских гимнасток. Даже явно подсуживая конкуренткам. Лариса Семеновна была великолепна на вольных ( ей здесь 31 год)

[@user-nd4bw3pz2g]

Nikki Spark Да ,Лариса Латынина --лучшая . Легкая ,грациозная .

[@genlyai5055]

Боже, скольким из вас, Русскитроллей, Владимир Путин заплатил за то, чтобы они разместили эту фигню?

[@nikkispark6477]

5:05. Посмотрите только на выражение лица Чаславской. Ну нельзя быть такой злобной и завистливой!

[@user-nd4bw3pz2g]

Да ,очень злое лицо всегда .

[@genlyai5055]

О, ты бесконечно злобнее, завистливее и совершенно лишен правды!

[@uhraiuhrai7530]

Zlobu a závist cítím z vašich komentářů, ne z vystoupení Věry Čáslavské!

[@objetivista686]

Latynina so boring and simplistic exercises. In that era being a soviet was just a half of path.

[@nikkispark6477]

Caslavska all exercises done with errors and they were less complex. Her gold medals are unfair.
