Women's individual event finals at Munich 1972 - FULL EVENT! 🤸‍♀️ 

NADIA COMANECI WAS AND IS STILL PERFECT THAN OLGA KORBUT.

I love Nadia Comaneci, she's been my idol for all my youth - and still is - but there's no need to scream it. I just think that Olga Korbut was perfect way before her, not that's better than her. They've been gorgeous both.

@@giorgosfylaktou2610 Half of Comaneci's routine was taken from Tourischeva's. She was an amazing gymnast and for that year or two she was perfection. But without Olga there is no Nadia. There is no modern gymnastics. You can see the modern sport being born with everything Korbut did. She was robbed of the gold in the bars and had she not screwed up she would have won the all-around. If you watch Korbut's bar routine there is not one millisecond where she isn't flying. In Janz's routine there is a huge break where she has to fight to regain momentum. Comaneci was as technically perfect a gymnast as there ever was but she probably wouldn't even have happened if not for Korbut in 1972.

@@jondavwal13 ΟΛΑ ΑΥΤΑ ΠΟΥ ΛΕΣ, ΕΙΝΑΙ ΔΙΚΑΙΟΛΟΓΙΕΣ.

Olga was the Revolution. From The Guardian - 50 stunning Olympic moments: Olga Korbut redefines gymnastics: "Not everyone loved Korbut’s influence. Some sniffy officials were hostile to the change that she ushered in, which they equated to turning gymnastics from a discipline on a par with ballet to some kind of vulgar circus show. Eleven months after Munich, the backwards somersault on a beam was banned, allegedly for safety reasons. Korbut threatened to retire from the sport."

She sure was.

And it was a largely pro-German crowd too. Karin Janz and Erika Zuchold represented communist East Germany, but they were Germans just the same. Both did excellent, intricate routines, but Olga's uneven bars were next level and she was lowballed throughout on that event, including in the Team Compulsory and Team Optional rounds. Back then, scores carried over, so Olga started at a disadvantage with a lower preliminary score than Karin.

I found her beam to be esquisette, a work of art, masterpiece. I'm glad it won her gold, as the grace & beauty stunned me to my core. I think that's the routine she should have been given a perfect 10 for, it was elegant, breathless perfection. She definitely was the first 10, as far as many of us are concerned.

C’était l’année où le monde est tombé amoureux de la petite Olga, mais c’était aussi l’année où le monde entier a été horrifié par l’attentat qui a coûté la vie à 11 athlètes Israéliens. Personne ne pouvait, ne serait-ce qu’un seul instant, m’imaginer qu’une telle tragédie puisse se produire durant des JO 😢

@@ziva_libre_et_suisse Pardon mes pauvre Francais... C'est tres domage, un aperçu des choses à venir

а мне ближе по стилю Люда Туришева.

Yes I wasn't impressed with that.

Why you say Olga bars was perfect, can you see once again her dismount?

Olga was magic❤

Karin Janz was a genius in bars and vaulting.

​@@RS-rz9xjI think she got jobbed on the FX.

Nadia Comaneci was even better

I agree 💯 Olga was the FIRST #1 🏅🤸🏼‍♀️✨❤️ She was inventing new & exciting concepts and capturing the world's Heart while Nadia was in pampers. The Sparrow of Minsk 🌹🤍🌹 She was the First 10 x 4!!!! Her beam was a masterpiece, a work of beautiful art that captivates and it's my favorite of all her performances. I'm glad she was awarded Gold because her dedication she rightfully earned it under a corrupt & oppressive system. If you want a flawless machine, go find Nadia video's to watch!! Those of you will never understand it's about so much more than that and it's why Olga connected to the masses due to her imperfect drive to succeed & vulnerable passion, she demonstrated the psychology behind why we root for certain personalities and it isn't about who's technique is flawless because if it was, Olga would not have won the hearts of so many nor have the fans she continues to, to this day.

The judges decided beforehand that the gymnast from the DDR was to win the gold on bars.

It was a 9.9 routine, for sure, but even a 10.0 would not have beaten Janz' well-deserved preliminary scores.

@@nikolaandonov4958 Comaneci was not at the 1972 competition.

It is sad to me. All the routines are pretty similar. They've lost the magic and artistry. I get bored now. I wasn't born in the 70s, but I remember watching the 96 games. But I love the bars from this time period.

It changed for the worse...they removed all the ballet elements and now it just looks like tumbling. So sad

Did she ever smile?

@@yvonneleslie7681 23. 57

НЕвозмутимая спортсменка❤

а мне на вольных жалко было Люду Турищеву. У нее была самая сложная программа, намного сложнее, чем у Корбут. И досадная ошибка на второй диагонали... Понимаю ее расстройство. И не понимаю золота Корбут на вольных. Одна водичка. Нет винтов.

That back flip to a chest roll looks really dangerous, but very cool to watch.

De acuerdo

Z tych wszystkich jest Olga najlepsza.😊

YAHSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Es lo mejor que he visto, fué un viaje en el tiempo, fascinante.

No way - Tourischeva was a better all rounder. Olga was fantastic but inconsistent.

@@brendanbrown3100 For what she did she was more consistent but there was nothing daring in any of her routines except maybe for her bars routine (which Nadia stole half of and showed how much better it could be done). She was better for the time. In retrospect she was not better at all. She was safe.

@@jondavwal13 look at Ludmilla’s record in all major competitions from 70-75 - so many golds! 9 times out of 10 she beats Korbut. I don’t think Olga was anymore gracious when Ludmilla won her golds tbh. Got to give Korbut credit for her bravery- some of those moves were so dangerous!

@@jondavwal13 how about completing a routine whilst the apparatus collapses?

❤

Золото на брусьях несомненно должно было быть Ольгино. Всем и так понятно. Высший пилотаж. ❤️

And they actually worked the low bar as well as the high.

Ну почему же? А Турищева?

Absolute GOAT! ❤❤❤ I love her

Ela era maravilhosa,estou assistindo todos os vídeos dela agora em 2023 e estou apaixonada 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Olga Korbut can’t match Nadia 🤸‍♀️

@@trina6593 17 yo Olga Korbut will beat 17 yo Nadia

В этом ей помогал - её РОСТ.

​@@user-hd6lr8xg7n значит сама природа её "благословила".

It really depends on when you were born. I read about Karin Janz in International GYMNAST Magazine in the 1970s, before computers and internet. If you followed gymnastics, you knew about the best in the world and in the United States.

Janz's vaulting was off the chain. Love her.

Besides, Karin Janz is a renowned physician and academic. A brilliant woman

@@Merula-er1xr Thank you for letting us know this. That's fascinating she is an academic & physician!

@@ShelleeGraham Absolutely amazing. A very talented woman.

Согласна с Вами

Наши российские ещё похожи на девушек, а вот американские...тихий ужас, какие-то квадратные киборги, смотреть неприятно.

​@@user-pk9qd2wp8kl Las atletas y gimnastas americanas de ahora, están llenas de hormonas.

I wonder why they let her compete? She was even crying during the introduction before the Floor exercise, and at the medal ceremony of it too, she was exremely emotionally instabile, I thought, now I know why...

​@@ilfbforever7292 Tamara was crying because she was upset about her placement in the balance beam final. I remember reading about that in a history of gymnastics book. Tragically though, she WAS an alcoholic and that disease would ultimately cost her her life.

😢

They should not have let Hellman compete until it was quiet. They need to concentrate.

Why were they like that?

Exactly. The judges have to abide by the Code of Points. Janz won fair and square by the standards of the time.

Корбут на бревне была лучшая. Легкая, пластичная, а какие элементы высокотехничные. Респект!

She got a 9.90, not a 10.

@@jondavwal13 I know that.

👍

❤🎉❤❤❤❤

The judges used to have unofficial meetings the night before an event and decide which way the medals would go.

Gymnastics is a sport, not an art

@@user-oi8bt6kh3w true. But they do call it “artistic gymnastics”

Tak, prawda.
