R.I.P, Věra. We never forget you.
-
today with this routine she even would not qualify to Olympics, it is incredible for far the gymnastics moved in over years!
-
THANK YOU VERY MUCH - SUPER
-
What has your comment got to do with mine? Did I make any remark about her age? Whether the gymnast is 25 or 15 years old, gymnastics today is way too dangerous. That was my point, but you didn't seem to get it.
-
try looking at the age differences in the competitors. She was 25. Competitors now days are in their teens. Big difference physically. Seriously, think about what you're saying
-
That has to be ths supidest remark I've ever read about a vintage gymnasics video.You are obviously totally clueless.when it comes to historical gymnastics. Vera was 25 yrs old at the time, which was the average age of competitors back then. She retired at 27. Nowadays, they're just kids competing It's easier for kids. Get an adult to try & do her routine. She remains the only female to not only win the all around, but also each individual event. That has never been done again by anybody.
-
Maybe the thought of falling hasn't occurred to her because the skills aren't so daring. She may never have even fallen doing these skills!

Standards of difficulty have skyrocketted in gymnastics, but the human body is the same. People have limits, but it's only the gymnasts' that go on and on. Next year, you can't show the same exercise you showed this year. If you showed a Tsukahara salto, next year you need to show a double Tsukahara, so that another gymnst will break her neck trying to make a triple one. Whose fault is it in the end? The judges'. Why don't they mark elegance and style more than difficulty?More show, less danger.
-
If women gymnasts did that today they would ALL get a "1" in difficulty and a "10" in execution.
-
Yes! That was a particularly beautiful maneuver.
-
:46~:53 so beautiful and controlled. I prefer this elegance and grace to the modern gymnastics.
-
You can tell the difference between today's routines from the originals. She was just graceful and elegant on the beam. Now I feel they have much of a harder task. They have to land perfectly and be graceful and elegant on all events. I love the orignals and I love the now. I love GYMNASTICS PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Gorgeous. Just flows.

wow beautiful routine
