Soviet Balance Beam Gymnastics Montage

[@Linda-iw7bk]

Thank you for showing Lydia Gorbik, she was so graceful and the film I am used to looking at was so washed out but grateful to have it. Would like to see more of Gorbik with clearer film. Appreciate you montages.

Olga Mostepanova: my favourite beam worker of all time.

[@mishmash151]

Wish beam still looked like this.. Thanks for the lovely montage

To me, the Soviets don't get enough credit in gymnastics for creating skills. i mean, like today we see the Chinese doing all these crazy skills, but then i watched this video and i saw all of the skills that the chinese do. and people think that the chinese were the mastermines of gymnastics when the Soviets really were

4:59 - perfection! Best triple twist I've ever seen on any apparatus!

[@deenibeeniable]

I just remembered which move I dislike almost as much as the wolf turn, lol. This is great. So many amazing gymnasts over the years, too bad more of them aren't household names.

[@isa1285]

There's a lot of footage I had never seen before... loved 2:02!

[@tessenfan]

That side aerial with two handspring stepouts near the beginning was sooooo pretty.

[@mulliganbrian]

3:04 is like a gainer-Rulfova! That's crazy! Never seen a gymnast perform it out of that take-off! Wow!!!

[@TheGymEffect]

absolutely loved their beam work. Just flowed together so well

[@catherineb8595]

It's two layout stepouts, so difficult. Olessia Dudnik, 1989- queen of beam.

[@jmauriciocortes]

the fronthandspring double front dismount off beam at 3:07!!!!!! who was that? so incredible

[@MostepanovaFan]

1:04 is actually Irina Baraksanova in 1984, 2:22 is Elena Shevchenko in 1987, 3:30 is Vera Kolesnikova at the 1985 Tokyo Cup.

Absolutly wonderful. They were quite the "beamers". I love your videos.

[@Athlete065]

Beautiful! Such great and creative gymnastics :)

[@MostepanovaFan]

Thank you! It is Ludmilla Stovbchataya.

[@KaraKarateka]

I love this montage ... it's beautiful!

[@MostepanovaFan]

@7Millionaire7 The girl doing the front tumbling is Oksana Limaryova

[@vesperholly]

I know she mostly competed for the Soviet Union, but isn't that clip of Gutsu at 4:38 from Europeans where she competed for Ukraine? ;)
