“Dark Eyes” Montage: Kathy Johnson, Khorkina, Tourischeva, Shushunova

[@Cmc995]

Kathy was glorious in this floor routine! People don’t talk about it enough, I’m guessing because the tumbling ‘wasn’t that difficult’ 🤦🏻‍♂️ so beautiful

[@worldartgym]

It was difficult for the time on a non-spring floor! In 78 she had more difficulty than Nadia herself!

[@Cmc995]

@@worldartgym yes!!

[@worldartgym]

Kathy was an underrated gymnast! She was probably one of the best dancers on the 84 team and stayed in the sport (commentating) longer than all of her teammates! She’s an icon!

@@worldartgym love her to death, she needs to write a book and record it so I can listen to her on audible 😅😅

Шушунова прелесть. Светлая память.

Елена- великая гимнастка!

[@kenmoreSF]

To this day, I still gasp when I see Elena's 2nd pass. I miss her!

[@worldartgym]

It was so unique. And we’ll never see it again…

🖤 Also Lebedinskaya

[@worldartgym]

She used a portion of this exact piece! Wish she competed at a major event with it. I’ve only seen two routines, and not high quality video either

[@yoemichelp_yoe]

What a image quality of this old footages! I m wondering how it was processed? AI? Any software in particular how enhances old quality video? Thank you very much!

[@worldartgym]

Some Olympic clips were re-released in hi def, some were luckily recorded at very high quality, even in the 1970s

wowow beautiful montage, you forgot Miller 96

[@worldartgym]

Thanks!… but Shannon Miller didn’t use “Dark Eyes“ and I don’t know where she would fit in (or anyone else)!

[@Marketoromagnolo]

@@worldartgym how not? Her 96?

[@worldartgym]

@@Marketoromagnolo it was gypsy style but not “Dark Eyes“

[@julieplummer3701]

Beautiful. Shushunova is my all-time favourite.
