      For the time, yes. However, gymnastics have advanced so much in terms of equipment, training, and that. I am not sure a routine as relatively simple as the one she performed would pull such a high score anymore.

      Because it wasn't perfect. In today's scoring system the routine would have started out with a higher difficulty score to go with execution but in those days most gymnasts would be docked too many points for hard moves done imperfectly so they would opt for easier skills to perfect.

      Olga manipulated the judges well by acting like she botched her first routine (in a group competition), releasing the waterworks on the bench, and then showing off her impeccable skills in the solo competition.
      I can only imagine how much manipulation her husband (later) went through.

    Play Olga and Nadia's uneven bar routines back to back. It isn't even close. The degree of difficulty in Olga's presentation is so much higher. After her ground-breaking back flip she goes to the lower bar and fips back ward and blind to a dead-stop iron horse. Incredible strength and control. Nadia's routine in '76 was flawless, but the degree of difficulty was much lower. Try it sometime. You'll agree. Cheers.

Her initial failure on the uneven bars lead to her breaking down, weeping, and in some way releasing an untold burden.

      Все ее элементы много раз повторялись другими гимнастками. Но некоторые были потом запрещены правилами.
      Например, "петля Корбут". Есть "петля Мухиной", это еще сложнее, с добавлением винта. Сейчас запрещено становиться ногами на перекладину, поэтому исполнить эти элементы невозможно.
      Еще запрещено, например, сальто в кувырок, см. 1.02. Смертельно опасный элемент. Именно на нем сломала себе шею Елена Мухина, только она делала еще более сложный вариант, чем тут у Корбут, так называемое "сальто Томаса".

      Very true. Don't get me wrong I like Nadia, the way she did handstands on the bar was great but despite people saying her bars was original it wasn't really. The radochla and full turn after the salto had been done before Caslavska used both radochla and full turns. The Comaneci is just another version of the Janz. Nadia was not the first person to do a front salto from high bar to high bar despite her claim that she was. Janz did, Jaeger did with differences in take off admittedly and most recently Elena Davydova admitted she was the first to do the Comaneci salto from a different direction at a soviet competition in 1975

    Роль соцсетей тогда исполняли индивидуальные пристрастия журналистов, которые выдавали своё мнение за "всенародную любовь". Я, например не любил Корбут за неестественную наигранность. Болел за Турищеву, которая была очаровательной и грациозной.

      The problem is that when since Nadia appeared in 75 and defeated her and Tourisheva in the European championships in Norway ... Neither Olga or Ludmilla could defeat Nadia again ... After Norway, then Montreal ... they Both began to make mistakes every time they faced Nadia .. The unconscious betrayed them ... That "pefect ten" was an injuried en the mind of then both
      The truth is that Olga Korbut was stronger and more spectacular than Comaneci ...
      But Nadia executed better...
      I insist, Olga Korbut is great, she was stronger and more espectacular than no one else en her time, respect ... only respect for her
      It is my personal opinion... perhaps i'm wrong

Olga Korbut, ma tutta quella generazione di atlete, ha colpito lo spettatore per l'eleganza tecnica dei gesti condita di tanto cuore. E lei in questo era la migliore. Buongiorno

    • @arwenevenstar0761
      @arwenevenstar0761 Před 6 lety +90

      Matt B As far as floor ex, it’s possible that the Olga generation of gymnasts would have done more powerful tumbling but they had to perform on just a mat on the floor. Today’s gymnasts have the benefit of a floor that has a couple thousand springs under it. That’s what enables them to get the bounce and lift needed to go perform multiple flips and twists. Take away the sprung floor and their routines would look much different.
      I get what you’re saying, though. I think today’s gymnastics needs a much more balanced approach. Most of the so-called “dance” elements consist of nothing more than waving the arms around (especially on beam), poorly-executed multiple turns with an emphasis on how many can be crammed in but no care taken on quality of execution, and so on. Most of the “dance” elements are jerky and it’s obvious they’ve on,y been put in as filler because they’re required. If the Code of Points was revised to reward female gymnasts for grace, elegance, and actual true dance moves while keeping in the powerful tumbling tricks, I believe it would be a huge benefit to the sport.

If you like the more "artistic" stuff, you can still watch rhythmic gymnastics.

Ainda antes dos Jogos de Munique, quiseram abolir o mortal na trave, e apenas com a ameaça de retirada de competição da parte da própria Olga, aceitaram manter esse exercício. 4 anos depois, em Montreal, já estavam mais recetivos ao risco. Ainda assim, nenhum 10 de Nadia incluía risco. O 10 no solo de Nelli Kim, sim, porque esta executava o primeiro duplo mortal à retaguarda... Por sinal, Olga sabia executá-lo também.
