Flipping and Flying

3 comments

I could never do gymnastics.  I am a firm believer that my head should not be below the rest of my body.  I do however love watching gymnastics.  Check out this video from the 1972 Olympics.  It is the uneven bar routine of a 17 year old girl from Russia.

It is a great routine and an excellent example of why gymnastics is so fun to watch.  

My favorite part of the routine is the backflip.  Also, do those bars look a lot closer together than in current gymnastics?
