I would love to see modern-day gymnastics utilize the low bar more and have more transitions like they did back in the 70s. Nowadays, it's just basically a high bar routine.

@Glorindellen 9 месяцев назад

Couldn’t agree more.

@catinabox3048 9 месяцев назад

With the bars as far as they are today, many of the skills they did before are now impossible. Variety is also limited, since there is no option for a switch involving any other part of the body except the hands, and there needs to be a lot more momentum built up for a transition to happen.

@gothgirl4evr881 8 месяцев назад

Finally found others that feel the same way I do. With the bars so far apart there's less fluidity in the transitions and the routines may only use the low bar to mount the bars and then spend majority of routine on the high bar all doing the same handful of skills.

@Glorindellen 8 месяцев назад

@@gothgirl4evr881 exactly, they have all grown boringly near-identical. I just remember how great Nadia and Olga were to watch, their routines were exciting. Now we are watching the women do men's moves with the occasional switch to the low bar, just to make it official that it's not a man's routine.

@jazziebrown7594 8 месяцев назад

@gothgirl4evr881 8 месяцев назад

I really miss the performances from back in the 70s and 80s when the bars were closer together and they worked both bars evenly. Now most of the routines are done on the high bar. The routines had more fluidity when they were closer together in my opinion. They were stunningly beautiful

@annabellerevell6888 8 месяцев назад

It shows us how little innovation there has been on uneven bars in the last 10-15 years. Also every single one of these girls had stretched feet with ankles together in every handstand instead of the all too common sickled feet we see today.

I gymed in late 70’s and first half of the 80’s. My mother ran a ballet studio so I had a strong dance background. Worked at a gym in the 20 teens and really worked with my girls on presentation, turn out and not sickling the feet. The team head coach told me that stuff wasn’t important and I should be working on difficulty. I don’t work there anymore.

@beckykent6674 8 месяцев назад

@chrissy54ful 8 месяцев назад

That’s your opinion. I think todays gymnastics are sooooo much more difficult and hardly boring. The girls from 1970s and 1980s could never do what is being done today on any apparatus. Perhaps you are bothered by seeing African American women dominate a sport that skinny Europeans and Chinese women once dominated. Oh well, progress rules, not the past.

@nocomment2468 9 месяцев назад

Floor and vault have really become more exciting than they used to be, but bars and beam seem less and less creative. It’s great to see these historical bar routines.

@gothgirl4evr881 8 месяцев назад

I agree but even floor has become less creative it's more about how high powered difficult tumbling passes then it is about a mixture of dance skills and tumbling skills. I miss watching the exhibition meets back in the 90s where it wasn't a competition but a show where the rules were relaxed a little and the gymnasts could use rock and roll, country, or whatever music not just instrumental and they could where costumes that matched their routines. They don't do those anymore.

@balletteach67 8 месяцев назад

@TheSaltySiren 9 месяцев назад

The sheer talent from these ladies is phenomenal. I could sit here and watch their gymnastics routines all day long, happily! When I was younger, I loved Nadia Commenicci (sp?). Mary Lou Retton was in the Olympics while I was attending my own gymnastics classes. I wish I could have started at a younger age, and been better at it. I so desperately wanted to be a professional gymnast.

@gothgirl4evr881 8 месяцев назад

Same here. I unfortunately had to move to a different state when I had just made the gymnastics team, in fact we moved on the day of what would've been my first competition so I never got to compete. Where we moved didn't have a good gym anywhere close to us so I had to quit long before I should've. I often wonder what I could've done had I not had to leave the gym I trained at so young.

@lovewasawillow 8 месяцев назад

Just stunning routines, so much more dynamic than the Shaposhnikova ping pong routines of today. Would love to see more variation back in UB but the way FIG is going, I don't think they will ever do it. For some reason they seem happy to watch the sport decline before their eyes.

@stanleygagner 8 месяцев назад

I agree that modern bars can be very formulaic, but I don't think the problem is actually because of Shaposhnikova and pak transitions. They are used frequently, but the alternative is some of the very dull transitions we saw in the 1990s, like standing on the low bar, that little "pop" thing kim and others do, and poorly executed bails that don't end in a handstand. Dina Kochekova's routine was greatly improved by a pak salto and shaposh, so it's really the rest of the routine and underutilization of the low bar that is the issue with some of today's routines, not the transition skills themselves.

@lovewasawillow 8 месяцев назад

@@stanleygagner While I see your point, I have to disagree. You can look at routines from the 2012 quad and before that to see good examples of what UB routines used to be like - routines like Huang Qiushuang’s, He Kexin’s, Tweddle’s, even Kyla Ross or Jordyn Wieber’s. Much more dynamic routines with more skill variety, that aren’t all practically the same routine over and over. Imo the transitions weren’t bothersome to watch at all. I’d rather have a poorly executed toe shoot at this point than sit through the same routine 100 times in a competition.

@abacus299 8 месяцев назад

Some wonderfully creative mounts and transitions. This fluid elegance and originality is missing from current competition. Not the gymnasts fault when they have to chase the points.

@candydogs 9 месяцев назад

There were a couple of these where I slowed it down to half speed to watch the transitions. It would be wonderful to see some of these again. I know it's all compacted in to get the points as high as possible now, but I still think something unusual would be nice to see once in a while.

@catinabox3048 9 месяцев назад

Many of the transitions they did back in the days are now impossible because the bars are now too far apart.

@gothgirl4evr881 8 месяцев назад

@@catinabox3048I think that has taken so much away from the performances on uneven bars. I say that in every comment section I see on bars and this is the first one I've been in that I see others that feel the same way. It's gotten to the point that women aren't doing uneven bars they are doing high bar routines where they use the low bar to mount the apparatus. It isn't really much different then men's high bar routines.

Kim from Korea was incredible, it’s just such a shame she was too young and wasn’t allowed at the Olympics. Her country really screwed her over. Svetlana Khorkina won all those bars titles for a simple reason- she was the queen of stuck dismounts. In that scoring system it made a huge difference.

Then, after the female adult chimpanzee watch MANY routines by adult human females, the arena is cleared and the female chimpanzee play on the UE bars. I think it would be ABSOLUTELY mind blowing to watch female chimpanzee swing on the UE bars. Not for gold...but for their favorite foods And NOT at all forced...they would be doing it just for play & joy and their own reasons. I would love to see what adult female chimpanzee do after watching adult human females. Because adult human females, and males also preform for "prizes" and prizes equal money which equal food. So it's ok to reward the chimpanzee also for preforming well. But not forced to just for fun.
