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?
