No single entity has been more responsible for creating beautiful gymnastics than the Soviet Union. No other program could compare when it came to producing gymnasts with beautiful form, exquisite dance, jawdropping innovation, and unforgettable difficulty. My dedication to the legacy of Soviet Gymnastics has been a long and loyal one, and I never tire of the treasures that are still lie hidden to be discovered.
Welcome to the second annual countdown of my Top 10 Favorite Soviet Gymnasts at This Moment in Time. I've included lots of great gymnastics, spectacular gymnastics, beautiful gymnastics--just some of the best gymnasts the world has ever seen. If you're wondering who are the best gymnasts ever, you've come to the right place!
The timely music I've selected is the Pas de Deux from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. Enjoy! 💗
I literally could not have made this video without the RU-vid gymnastics channels @Boban1611 and @gymnasticsstuff. Thank you so much for your dedication and continuing to promote and showcase beautiful gymnastics!!

Great compilation! It's so difficult to pick up just 10 great Soviets... so many names come to mind: Mukhina, Shaposhnikova, Filatova, Shushunova, Strazheva, the Frolovas, not to mention those from the 60s and early 70s 🌟🍁

@thesovgc Год назад

I know I used Olga for clickbait, but I think she will absolutely make it on the list sooner or later. My appreciation only grows for her in time 😍

@pgk3052 10 месяцев назад

Laschenova, Galiyeva, Gutsu, Podkopayeva...

@bbatjargal1549 3 месяца назад

These top 10 have great predecessors - Trusheva, Latynina, and so on! Great tribute to the unique historical phenomena - Soviet sporting dominance and achievements!

I miss creative routines like these older ones. Everyone does the same skills now. Like how many wolf turns can be done in one competition. 🤣

@sallydaniel1023 6 месяцев назад

So many great Soviet gymnasts. It's nearly impossible to pick just 10 since many were overshadowed by their more famous teammates. I'm so glad you included Baraksanova as she was one of them who got pushed out of the way, and it was a crying shame since she was gorgeous to watch. My favorite will always be Olga Korbut since she's the reason I fell in love with gymnastics to begin with ❤❤❤❤❤

@georgiadonald1588 Год назад

👏👏👏👏 well done! I love your list even though it's different from mine. I would have had Filatova and Shushanova. But it's an amazing list😍

@carolynrabbani6469 Год назад

Exactly the same!

@thesovgc Год назад

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun! The music I picked was different in that the crescendo really comes about halfway in compared to last year, so that was challenging to work around. But I think I pulled it off.

@lampwick4427 Год назад

I came as soon as I saw. The ending frame of illienko... stunninggggg. Also I've blocked you and am never speaking to you again after this because of the lack of Shushunova/Laschyonova/Polevaya/Strazheva (insert all my other faves here) 😙 *Glances back at list* Well I suppose there are only so many places in a top ten list. Love to see Baitova on the list, often overlooked on lists of Soviet greats, yet so vital to all the teams she made. Her Deltchev + Drop to immediate hip circle is one of my favourite bars combos ever.

@thesovgc Год назад

Awww, I'm glad you *mostly* approve. I will watch more of Polevaya, as I haven't seen a whole lot. (I remember liking her bars in particular.) Lashchënova has been a lovely second alternate both years 💀 but there's always next year! 💗

@thesovgc Год назад

ALSO, you are so right about the lack of appreciation for Baitova. I had her at #7 last year and since then I found out about the bars combination you mentioned, the tucked Hindorff she did in early 87 AND discovered the floor routine that they made the confusing mistake of switching for her circus routine. The one from 87 Euros is ASTONISHING in its beauty (which is why I featured it heavily in this compilation). Have you SEEN a more perfect double turn?? P.S. We all know I'm a messy bitch who loves drama and Baitova SERVED with that interview from a few years back. She's earned a spot on the list every year for that alone 💀

@lampwick4427 Год назад

@@thesovgc There is no footage anywhere of Polevaya doing anything other than bars that I have seen anyway, but her routine from 81 worlds was the best soviet routine there (yes even better than davydova I'm sorry to tell you) She did a Markelov from a stomach flip, shaposhnikova, and a dismount that looked like a long jump. If she wasn't reduced to table-setter status alongside Filatova she would have made the bars final.

@lampwick4427 Год назад

@@thesovgc send the link of the interview pls? I'm always interested in drama...

@thesovgc Год назад

She would have made floor finals if not for per country limits 😔. I would have to search for the Baitova interview, but I will link it to you if I have time and can find it 💗

@darkhawkx8 Год назад

@@thesovgc Btw most of them running normal, modest lives far from the “public eye” you know It is interesting the cultural differences, nowadays wag is dominated by the Americans, representing the “American way of life” that has spread through the western world, I.e. earn as much money and fame as you can, get to the most pleasures you can…(such superficial lifestyle) And back then wag was dominated by the Soviet Union(and eastern europe), representing a more unassuming, unglamorous lifestyle I’d say this is way more influential in the abysmal difference in artistic between then and nowadays than any kind of dumb decision the fig has made...

@thesovgc Год назад

@@darkhawkx8 do you really think that? 🤔 I feel the sport has been on a steady downward trajectory since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Their lack of dominance has definitely been a major factor; I just don't see the American correlation. In the early 00s when Romania was still on top, the glory days were already well over. In short order the FIG a) got rid of compulsories and b) implemented open-ended scoring. Those back to back decisions effectively destroyed WAG. Not only is quantity being rewarded over quality, the quality now is not nearly to the same standard as when basics mattered. How different would the history books look if some of these modern gymnasts had to do compulsories?? Can you even imagine? Because I.. cannot 😂.

@darkhawkx8 Год назад

@@thesovgc I was thinking solely about the cultural factors, which I think they are more important because if you think about it, the fig is irrelevant, never a gutsy decision, just whatever is more practical to control the sport (out compulsories, limiting the freedom of artistry by objectifying it…), also Do you really think the FIG could have maintained the compulsories? I mean as you stated in your video about the compulsories, it takes hell for minor countries to achieve competitive routines due to how difficult gymnastics is, people don’t like watching compulsories (not my case!)… now that I reread my comment it sounds a bit bad and off topic tbh, I mentioned America because they rule gymnastics now, as the Soviet Union did in the past, so they both have Influenced everything, hence was wondering about how the two eras/environments might influence gymnastics, but I was just speculating don’t take my comment too serious haha

@vfvf8495 Год назад

Hello! Here is Vitor from Brazil. I once saw a video in which you explained a bit of the old ROV scoring system -- I can't remember which video that was. But I still don't understand it. 😌 I was thinking maybe it means the evaluation was more based on the quality/execution of the routines rather than the points of the skills. But the COP already existed, and there were routines that weren't worth a 10, meaning there was an objective/mathematical aspect to it. Could you please explain that to me again or, if I'm not asking much, maybe that could be the theme of a video! Love your channel! :)
