Olga Korbut captured the public imagination with her charismatic and daring performances in the team competition at the 1972 Munich Games, aged just 17 year old.
After her spectacular routine on the uneven parallel bars, Korbut later recalled, "It was amazing. One day, I was a nobody, and the next day, I was a star."
Unfortunately in the individual final two days later, disaster struck. Korbut made three errors on the uneven bars, the judges gave her a score of 7.5 and she wept with disappointment as she dropped to seventh place. Yet she recovered to claim gold in the floor exercise and beam to add to her victory in the team competition. =========================================

@@noemigarfinkel7923 the floor had no springs. The bar routines were NOT "so easy". Matter of fact, countless young women suffered bruised and broken ribs, bruised lungs, and more from those "easy" bar routines. The pressure from bouncing off of the UB left several of them infertile. The balance beam wasn't coated in suede or leather in all meets like it is now- many were just super hard polished wood. The vault was obviously completely different. Not to mention how far training, health, and nutrition have come. To insult gymnasts of the past is to be ignorant. To act like this is unimportant is a sign of immaturity. These women paved the way for the Aly Raismans and Simone Biles'....the Vanessa Ferraris and Sui Lus.

All the gymnastic routines were much more graceful back then, but they were also much simpler back then. Today, all the events incorporate much more complex routines and pack so much more into the same amount of time that the graceful movements are hurried as if added as an afterthought. That's why I was so very pleased with Laurie Hernandez's performance in the Floor Routines. She added much needed grace back into the program that is often missing in the performance of other gymnasts.

So many of us teenage American boys had a crush on her. I found magazine articles about her and cut out her pictures and mounted them on cardboard. I started training as a distance runner so that maybe I could see her in the next Olympics. I found out that she loves ketchup and I tried to find out how I could ship some to her (that didn't happen - oh well). I studied her home town of Grodno so that I would know more about her upbringing. Yeah, big crush. That was 50 years ago now, and I still remember it all so well! She was so charismatic and sweet. She did have a big impact on the world. If nothing else, she put a very human and kind face on Russians for those of us in the West who were raised in the Cold War culture that said Russians were evil.

You are utterly right about the modern sport...but it's the case generally. Its wonderful to see girls be powerhouses, I love it, but the price paid is this kind of grace, because sadly, feminine grace is tied in with female oppression. It was about teaching girls to make themselves small, and light, and helpless and dainty. What Nadia has, though, is something really rare: Natural grace. Untrained grace. You hardly ever see it. Olga doesn't have it: hers is trained. Her natural asset is her joyfulness

Olga Korbut was the first gymnast ever to perform a back somersault. She created it.
@RoseWilson Рік тому
Wow, that's a great fact to know 👌
@petramatus Рік тому
That's why is called Korbut flip
@elb2694 9 років тому
She was amazing. Doing things no one had done before. On the uneven bars, a lot less swinging between components, she never stopped. Toes always pointed, legs always together, stuck landings.Nadia was very good, always been an idol of mine, since I saw her in '76. I've never gotten an opportunity until now to see Olga's '72 performances. If Nadia got a perfect score, so should have Olga.

+zzhamer222 I know and I appreciate nowdays' skills as well,I just prefer the old style(sorry for my bad English,I'm Italian ahahhaha)
@AlexxEnglishh 7 років тому
Yeah, it might not look like it but a lot of the moves they do are more difficult. Especially if you want to get Olympic qualifying scores. They also get docked for more points for petty things. If their movements are perfect including arms so they have to be much more technical and less graceful. If not they risk being penalized. It's a shame that the Koburt flip is illegal on the bars nowadays.
@davideloi9176 7 років тому
A question: did they make it illegal because considered too dangerous .. ?
@AlexxEnglishh 7 років тому
Davide Loi yeah they said it was too much of a risk
@angieoconnor7400 7 років тому
Absolutely brilliant. So elegant and poised. She was a household name in the 70s even if you didn't know much about gymnastics. I remember watching it on a small black & white T.V. with my family. We were mesmerised. She was a 10+

Korbut's uneven parallel bars routine is probably my favorite of all time. She was such an incredible gymnast.
@giuliorenzobighin8165 Рік тому
In ogni performance la Korbut dimostra oltre ad una sorprendente sicurezza e mobilizzazione articolare sorprendente una leggerezza e naturalezza esecutiva d'acchito che ha dell'incredibile.Aggiunge poi pose figurali di estrema difficoltà realizzate con una non chalanche sorprendente. OLTREMODO BRAVA E SPETTACOLARE. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

She did at least one exercise at uneven bars which was forbidden later because of deadly risks, one of the reasons why Comaneci didn't show them.
@nancyaiken4538 2 роки тому
Sports have become so technical and almost impossible in stepping up the difficulty factor, a little bit of joy is gone. You sweat bullets hoping someone doesn’t get hurt. It is scary when one slip or mistake can erase a lifelong dream. These are talented people!

I wonder if the rules of gymnastics have changed. We never see these types of exciting routines anymore. One thing that is obvious is that she incorporated her rhythmic gymnastics skills into her gymnastic routines. I miss these types of exciting gymnastics.
@maryk3609 7 років тому
At least two moves of this routine have been banned because they were too dangerous.

I don't think the Korbut flip is banned because it is too dangerous, you just can't do it anymore because standing on the bar is a big deduction.

@terrywade3696 Рік тому
I had the great pleasure to watch her in the 1972 Olympics! Olga has never been matched! Her uneven bar routine was not only phenomenal, it was unparalleled history making! Whenever I think of her, I smile because my brain replays the mind boggling difficulty of her perfect execution of that routine! She was robbed by the judges scoring! Even her floor routine was perfect. She was a pixie full of dynamite! I miss watching her perform. But at least I can watch it again and again thanks to this video!

Back flip off the top bar was epic, but the blind backwards off the low bar to an iron cross following that element? THATS the move that changed women's gymnastics forever. Nadia got the 10, but Olga revolutionized the sport.
