That was a beautiful and innovative routine, I had to watch the first part again as I was mesmerized by that very unusual transition after the forward seat circle. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see footage of other the gymnasts at the 72 Olympics other than the go to Olga Korbut footage .

The United States was very underscored back in these days. They should have won medals at this Olympic games...

Soviet Union made sure that didn’t happen unfortunately. What happens when one country controls the judges… and therefore the outcome.

Only 9.2? That was harsh!

Kim Chace was from Florida. I think the West Palm Beach area

went to school with Miss chase in palm beach gardens florida. She was a snobish spoiled brat who talked down at other kids in school till she spoke down to the wrong one and got her ass beat good. I laughed till I cried.Shes not anyone who deserves anything but a lesson in humility

Nice moves

[@saragrant9749]

I so don’t miss this era of gymnastics. So many deserving athletes robbed of medals because of the Soviet Union having strict control of the judges.
