Tatyana Groshkova BB 1989 Chunichi Cup AA 

One of the greats who sadly never won World or Olympic gold. :(

We did't see much of her but one of the greatest most exciting gymnasts ever!

Best full twisting double back tucked dismount I think I've ever seen. So much height and distance for her small stature.

Ahead of her time for sure! Amazing!

That was bloody brilliant; seriously, one of my favourite routines ever. How gorgeous was Tanya? :)

she came to my home gym this summer

Thanks. Wish there were much more footage of this gymnast to be found.

Sigh. She was so close to winning the Chunichi Cup that year until she fell off the beam. She is so good but that was such a shame.

👏👏👏👏👏

She reminds me of Aleftina Pryakhina

Too bad she had the fall. That was a really interesting routine. She made the rest of it look easy.

she's 4'7" 65lbs here.

Made In Japan

What did she place in the all-around?

How tall/old was she here?

She was so wonderful. But that hair ribbon was really weird..

👏👏👏
