Karin Janz performs her uneven bars routine in the event finals of the 1972 Olympic Games. She scores a 9.900, which was the highest bars score in the event finals, and she wins the gold medal.
I remember this, and her full twisting Yamishita vault. Thought she was amazing, memorable, and much later the stories came out about the drugs that damaged her and teammates. I believe they sued the gov (?). She became an MD. How we (my college team) loved her work .
Sadly that was a common theme among many sports in that era with those countries. In track and field there are many older records that still carry a huge question of taint.
The commentators from this era never fail to crack me up!!! 🤣🤣
true, but no commentator can compare to Monica Phelps
Perfectly executed...

She was amazing

She was tiny!
Olga Korbut should have come first.
No she should not have.
No, as a matter of fact she shouldn’t have. She had a hesitation on one of her moves, and a much easier dismount. This was true gold medal work.
