Oh, Lena. I can only imagine how spectacular this exercise would have been if she was healthy, but it's so obvious that she's hurting here. And still it's gorgeous to watch. Rest in peace, little princess.
WHAT a beautiful routine. How expressive she was, absolutely beautiful shoulders and arms throughout, wonderful lift to the music and the spins, leaps and dance all work together in harmony with the tumbling. Even without her signature tumble, just absolutely beautiful. She flies with the music. A masterpiece of choreography for her, and she is a master of her body in this routine, short landing on the tucked double notwithstanding. The spin at 0.38, just nonchalantly in there, just superb. I watched the entire routine just looking at the beautiful shapes she makes with her arms. Absolutely stunning. There aren't enough superlatives for her work; better than Comaneci and Kim at her peak, gone too soon.
Yeah. Though she DID have the most advanced tumbling of that era. She did the first full twisting double tuck in 76! She had it all. The artistry as well as difficulty, AND originality.
Actually her tumblings were crazy hard for that time, doing a full double back on a carpet was unbelievable as much as it is today simone biles' triple double, she HAD super difficult tumblings, that' why she was so good, not for her "artistry"
Grandiosa gimnasta admirable su estrella se apago aqui en la Tierra, pero en el cielo brilla con todo su esplendor y belleza nuestras oraciones siempre contigo mi querida y bien recordada Yelena Mukhina 🌹🌹🙏 que Dios te bendiga
HERMOSA RUTINA. QUÉ TALENTO!!! ELENA MUKHINA COMO BAILARINA DE VALLET HUBIERA TRIUNFADO, PORQUE ERA MUY TALENTOSA, AMABA LO QUE HACÍA, ERA MUY ESFORZADA . ELLA ERA UNA OBRA DE ARTE EN MOVIMIENTO EN SU RUTINA DE SUELO. NO HABRÁ OTRA IGUAL A ELLA. ELLA ES ÚNICA!!!
Is there a higher quality version of this vid? Such a wonderful routine, captured beautifully by this specific camera angle. I really want to watch it in good quality to better grasp her subtle and delicate moves.
Sedih kalau ingat Elena ini korban ambisi negara dan pelatihnya yang terlalu memaksanya untuk bertanding. Jika saja mereka sabar menunggu sampai betul-betul sembuh Elena akan maksimal penampilannya dan dia tidak akan tersiksa atas kecelakaan yang dialaminya akibat latihan Thomas salto hingga merenggut nyawanya. RIP Elena

simplystreeptacular これがおそらく日本で見ることができた彼女の最後の演技だったでしょう。世界一の身体能力を持ちながら、どんな思いで過ごしていたのか。想うと胸が締めつけられます。
oh please
She was performing with a broken leg!

Thank you for this comment. It hurts me to see her leg injured, knowing what would happen to her.
Elena era una obra de arte en movimiento, SUPER talentosa.
She definitely was the best ❤
THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN! Gorgeous lines!! Elena ❤❤❤❤
This is a perfect example that you don't need super difficult tumbling to create a masterpiece.

@@elettracaliari3656 She was also the first to use a double back dismount on beam

Never has anyone reached Elenas perfection in combination of acrobatics and dance !!
So true, over 4 decades later!
Absolutely outstanding. We miss you Elena ❤
Elena Mukhina=perfection, she's divine😍
RIP Elena❤️! She made such as wonderful contribution to gymnastics during the golden era of true "ARTISTIC" gymnastics.
I had never seen this routine before!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
The most complete gymnast ever !! If she was a gymnast today, she would probably be a rival to Simone Biles !
Симоне очень далеко до элегантности и грациозности Елены
Симона отличается только силой ...
OMG. She was just awesome.... Perfect routine!
ELEGANCIA EN TODAS SUS RUTINAS, THE BEST!!!

Вечная память тебе Леночка.🙏😢
It's really sad about his accident and that he couldn't continue his career. It was truly amazing.
Meravigliosa! Questa è ginnastica!

This is beautiful. Although I liked her floor music from 77-78 better
La mejor!!!
elegantes y expresivas sus rutinas!!
Es una lastima que la aigan forzado al máximo. Fue una desgracia lo que fue su corta carrera. Tenía un futuro muy próspero.

Was this before or after she broke her leg?
She broke leg in autumn 1979, After the leg.... she did only one performance in USSR cup 1980. So here the leg is not broken.
Was that the 1979 Spartakiade won by Shaposhnikova? Some time in summer 1979?
@simplycomplicated333 He's Japanese and sounds like he's commentating from outer space
This was before.
the announcer sounds like a chinese robot.
*japanese*
What a shame.
