Top 5 Favourite Uneven Bars Routines

[@illikedance106]

Victoria Komova is such a gorgeous gymnast. Fabulous routine.

[@darkdreams3090]

China and Russia does very beautiful work on bars

[@lilibetp]

I prefer the older routines when the bars were closer together and they could do wraps and more intricate things between the bars.

[@mindrolling24]

+lilibetp I agree: too often now the UPB routines are just like men's high bar ones. Still, there is innovation going on.

[@azaefe]

I have to agree. those wraps amaze me

[@eryng515]

Elizabeth Phillips - I like the dismounts on the older routines, but I prefer newer routines

[@ahmedal-brazil9669]

They became illegal due to injury's and it could be very dangerous to perform those stunts

[@kianah544]

eramgr11 Agreed. The dismounts were beautiful but I like the fluidity of flight of the newer routines. The low bar being so close in the old routines seem so.. disruptive. Because they can’t swing their legs freely.

[@paulsoccer191]

You should consider adding Elena Mukhina (world champion 1978). She was the best back in the seventies.

[@lorismall5465]

Yes she sure was.♥️ RIP

[@pdjtw]

Olga Korbut 1972

[@agneseditsstuff]

That Komova routine was absolute gold

[@saragrant9749]

It did earn gold in that instance- and for good reason. I just wish- especially after the 2012 games she could have gone to Rio and had a second shot. Her bars were even better by then, the true gold standard.

[@saragrant9749]

One other would be Beth Tweddle. Her bars were just spectacular. That and Aliya Mustafina- two time Olympic champion!

[@Magspiper]

Personally, I liked the uneven bars back in 70s and 80s when the distance between was around 2-3ft

[@emeraldcrystalision3137]

Mags Piper I would die doing bars if they were that close nowadays, but it is cool to watch it!

[@saragrant9749]

May have looked cool but was substantially more dangerous- which is why they changed it. Many girls were left infertile and with lifelong issues due to those routines.

[@robogymnast42]

My favorite bar routine is probably Olga Korbut's. All of the routines here are spectacular too though!

[@lenor.4303]

Number one was actually amazing

[@kayleewesley2297]

Yang Yilin is the best at controling those pirouttes that I have ever seen!!

[@nikkishaewonstan]

Mustafina is my all time favorite!

[@aurorameeks4841]

in the routines where they don’t wear grips it kill me every time i think of it

[@arvinreuben5455]

Yilin's feet were so glued to each other! Very impressive.

[@bernardmvella]

The bars originally were set really close together (they were like parallel bars in mens gymnastics, but at different heights, so really close initially). Gradually the federation in charge of gymnastics changed the regulations, widening the gap over the years, because it meant they could see more giant swings (a swing around the bars where the gymnast is fully extended) and big release moves. It also meant the women could bring a lot of moves from mens high bar over to uneven bars. :)

[@cecilianovais212]

That is exactly the problem for me: women routines are too similar to men routines on fixed bar. It becomes less creative. When the bars were closer we see more movement between the bars.

[@saragrant9749]

@@cecilianovais212less creative? Not sure what you’re watching but yeah, ok sure.

[@gymnastics_beast2459]

Guys it's her or his favorites

[@destinyricci6116]

the third one scared the shit out of me

[@emeraldcrystalision3137]

Me too!

[@Magspiper]

my fav one. best one

[@ahmedal-brazil9669]

Same

[@maxglendale7614]

Why?

[@ryanje8147]

the only one missing was the iconic one of Olga Korbut back in 1972.

[@pakopaez]

Yang Yilin has the best execution ever. Master technique

[@alexandrepeneau4437]

and ailya mustafina or beth tweddle

[@zavonaravia]

Khorkina is probably my favorite gymnast of all times. Love her on uneven bars. She is the Queen!

[@juliefitzsimons3882]

Love her too

[@corynicolas3175]

She was so incredible. She even did hard vaults which is not typical for taller, thin gymnasts. She was so innovative and her artistry was amazing.

[@meghanmcquillin3855]

WOW ! yang yilin has an amazing bars !

[@awale223]

I was so surprised when I heard cantonese in the last video! then I realised that it was tvb! I've never watched gymnastics in cantonese before! very interesting!

[@ashleeboykin9573]

@d2d4e6 because the dificulty gives you a more possible chance of getting a high score! The vault she did was 2 1/2 twisting which is worth 6.5 dificulty! So if she did a perfect vault her score would be 16.500!

[@Undermedveten]

Yanhong's dismount is just insane! I don't understand how she does it!

[@gnoseise]

Where is Olga Korbut?

[@fabianfilipponi7599]

Number five was my favorite. The other ones were excellent too.

[@anas.6656]

#3 was probably my favorite

[@Hooverplayer25]

I believe Olga Korbuts routine should have been in there.... Her routine beats all those and it's only because the uneven bars were closer at that time it's a shame they are farther apart now.... :(

[@luluescobar9755]

kim gwang suk is the best in uneven bars routines

[@unknown-lf6zx]

Olga korbut is still one of my favorites

[@cpcl5140]

Omg I can feel the pain when the uneven bars were close I’m always scare when I watch these routine 😖😖

[@bernardmvella]

@stargaze17 They weren't all the routines I would have liked to have use (I wanted Mo Huilans '95 AA - unsure of score - , Khorkinas 2000 EF 9.862 and Yang Yilins 2008 EF, 16.65), as I had to avoid using NBC coverage. Regardless the scores were 15.733 for Komova, 9.8 for Mo Huilan 96 AA , 10 for Ma Yanhong, 9.750 for Khorkina Athens Qual, and a 16.8 for Yang Yilins TF routine for all the routines shown here. Hard to compare cause they're all from different codes though.

[@WhiteBear2024]

Komova's stuck landing was so satisfying!

[@kras118]

There are so many excellent routines from Khorkina, I'd have a hard time picking one! One of my faves was 1995 Worlds

[@Mhochul]

Beautiful gymnasts and khorkina

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

My list is 1.He Kexin the most difficult ever 2.Nadja Comaneci the cleanest ever 3.Svelana Khorkin the most electryfying 4.Ma Yan Hong 5.Elisabet Tweddle the most powerful 6.Olga Korbut in 1972 7.A.Mustafina in 2012 the perfect landing she save the olympics because today they do not care in the vault or the floor or the beam perfecness.I miss the olympics in 1976 Nadja Comaneci the most cleaner and the perfect one.Nellie Kim stick her land in the pefect position on the vault.

[@emkc3432]

I can’t even do a cartwheel

[@heatherjoymorlock-hernande7297]

Tribute ❤

[@smatilda8796]

I really love mo’s routine too!

[@bunkerhillguy2542]

Lu Li from event finals from Barcelona Olympics in 1992 where she scored a perfect 10 should be here instead of Komova routine.

[@bunkerhillguy2542]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIOoaKJmgryJZ80

[@athletemusician8098]

Superheros exist and they are the gymnasts!

[@miguelQR]

definitely yang yilin is the best

[@sydneyd789]

Why does Ma Yanhong have the bars set so close together? BTW, she was my favorite, but they all did amazing!

[@lauz7723]

i can imagine a Russian or a Chinese gymnast doing a double layout onto the low bar ps i love ur vid it fab

[@trvppytrey4759]

3 look painful

[@Brutus0710]

Haha, I love this description, but also this top 5 is pretty solid, so I'm not exactly in the mood to be contradictory at the moment.

[@sayittomyfaceidareyou8629]

62 dislikes 😡 wtf these girls are phenomenal!

[@bernardmvella]

🤣🤣 people get salty AF when I don't include their faves

[@beckygould7509]

Shows why these countries were the top leaders for decades. Until recent decades the top gymnasts were East German, Romanian, Soviets, Chinese,and Japanese. These girls showed why Eastern European and Asian countries topped the leader boards at almost every international competition including the Olympics !

[@homoon2684]

I would like He Kexin more than Yang Yilin lor...(own felling)

[@lucia60001]

Aliya Mustafina???? She is AMAZING 👑👑🥇🥇

[@agneseditsstuff]

I wish Komova had won the UB gold in London

[@saragrant9749]

I wish she’d gotten to Rio, her bars were even better by then. In London the best she’d scored was a 15.7 something so I’m not sure she’d have won gold even without the two on the low bar. We’ll never know unfortunately.

[@SongShiyu]

found the name! break the sword of justice! composed by yuji kajuira, from the anime tsubasa chronicles. these gymnastic bastards(or angels?) are really creative to make this a floor music.

[@jdlove4183]

Nastia Liukin was left out of this!

[@SongShiyu]

whats the name of that floor music at the begining for komova victoria?? and ma yanhongs simply magnificent!!!

[@_wtr_1127]

So back in the days the Uneven Bars were called “Symmetric Bars” ? I heard that in the second bar routine (#4).

[@emily8223]

The last one is the only person who re grips with straight arms. I've never seen that ever. But it's a good thing

[@katerinadicamella]

I've always think the Chinese gymnasts has the best UB routine!

[@nova1027]

well done!!

[@allyandkk5063]

So awesome!

[@stargaze17]

Do you know the scores they received on these routines?

[@jshipierika]

Number 5: not trying to be rude or anything but I think her name is spelt viktoria. I just watched her and that's how the other people spelt her name. Sorry if I'm wrong!

[@danielrosas6971]

It depends of the translation, in Tokio it was spelled Viktoria, In London it was Victoria and in Glasgow it was Viktoriia

[@JordoGarcia]

Isn’t it funny how all of these people want to tell you what YOUR favorites are? 😂

[@rubisanchez6433]

Read the description lol

[@jgsh8062]

This person is saying THEIR FAVOURITE. If you have a different favourite set of routines then, as teh description says, you can make your own video

[@ishitabhargava801]

what is yang yilin's difficulty?

[@ForeverFloraI]

Level 456789854

[@madelinehornsey6845]

+Ishita Bhargava 7.7 here.

[@astradanataliasilvia]

La tercera me resultó maravillosa

[@Gretagoo]

You missed out Nastia Lufkin!

[@felixmartin9156]

Number 3 should of been number 1

[@derevko09]

**I meant to say either "medal winners" or "those on the podium."

[@chelseagregley3567]

u are good can u help on my backhandspring i do it but i am scared help plz

[@rahaf-xz3wc]

why do they go on the high bar then go to the low bar isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

[@madelinehornsey6845]

+rahaf 11041 doesn't matter. as long as they switch during the routine it's irrelevant.

[@poonzers93]

aww no he kexin?

[@bernardvella8404]

On any other day she probably would have made it to the top 5! I was just feeling the Komova love that day.

[@milayalyuda1]

Viktoria Komova the Best 👍❤️👏👏👏

[@HotMessMemories1]

You forgot Nastia. Please re-edit and resubmit for full credit.

[@nevaeh7111]

1:03 is that an actual skill? If so can somebody please tell me the name of it? Thanks!

[@bernardmvella]

Clear hip shoot

[@brendaeberwein8338]

Nadia @comaneci10 should have been in this video. She was the first and only 14 year old that ever got a PERFECT 10

[@adrianagflores5587]

No Olga Korbut? Anything that has to do with uneven bars can't be taken seriously without Olga Korbut .

[@derevko09]

Athens UB EF was a joke! The podium winners, imo, were not the best bars workers at the competition.. not by a long shot!

[@Channie46]

this list is not good. The best two are missing. Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci

[@bernardmvella]

Feel free to make a video of your favourite routines.

[@mindrolling24]

Well said. Taste is subjective. I prefer UPB workers such as Tweddle who do interesting moves rather than the more 'difficult' routines according to the judging code. I find endless giants and the scant attention given to the lower bar tedious but I'm too technologically dim to make my own KZbin clips so thank you bernardmvella and others for taking the time to upload this stuff!

[@nomibe2911]

Favorite and what are the best are two different things. I think if you had a list of best routines of all time then Nadia would have to be in that list.

[@justjack643]

Chandler it’s not that bad

[@renzpascua1560]

nomibe2911 I agree

[@alexpierce-saunderson5949]

Nadia Comaneci?

[@allysonkyle1981]

Number 1 was an awesome routine I also can speak a little bit of chines not to brag

[@jessicawright8419]

+mayatuck I know right she is the best!!

[@mallorybrosh4965]

I’m just surprised Svetlana did that routine without grips!

[@barralpha]

Vera Caslavska 1968

[@carltonposey369]

Why does Amy Chow get overlooked?

[@Nicole-db2ub]

I still think that yang yilin should've won silver in beijing

[@jonnanjohnson5438]

Love Olga karbut the best

[@stevenconcepcion323]

Where's elena mukhina/yelena mukhina??

[@bernardmvella]

She's not on my list. Maybe you can put her on yours :)

[@malayahwilliams2096]

Steven Concepcion THATS WHAT I SAID 🤷‍♀️😂

[@zavonaravia]

Queen khorkina

[@valdoval9632]

0:11 name this movement?

[@lb7617]

It is called a Pike Stalder

[@valdoval9632]

thank you my dear... do you know the name this 00:45 at 00:47 ?

[@lb7617]

Valdo Val No problem! Those are three front giants into a Full Twisting Double Back Tuck dismount :)

[@sydneyd789]

@bernardmvella okay thanks!

[@gymfan265]

I like them all but beth tweddle should have been on there...

[@СветланаМихайлова-с8л]

Настя Люкин!!!

[@Queen7500]

Then why are you watching it?

[@mayatuck]

Olga Korbut???

[@hannahgracees]

I thought Ma Yanhong was the best

[@Jason12233]

Really, yang yilin is number one? He kexin, Nadia commeneci, and Nastia liukin should be on there

[@harajukubarbie3322]

Jason Du if their routines were the person's fave then it would be here but it's not

[@evelynjackson6372]

#1 and #5

[@TheIpodnano123]

So many people missed one heck of a routine. 2:29

[@wkim22]

Is Ma Yanhong's dismount banned? It's way too dangerous.

[@azaefe]

I don't think so.

[@loganeats617]

I thought Mo Huilan was really cool

[@Andybg99]

Holy crap at 2:00 !!
