Dr. Hartley Price was my father-in-law Joe Giallombardo’s coach at Univ. Of Illinois - 1st NCAA Champion! Joe G. won both Floor Ex and Flying Rings besides the All-Around. Also Dr. Price had the gymnasts doing a gymkana production as well!
It’s interesting to see the gymnasts perform tumbling passes on grass. To be fair, Nadia Comaneci (and many others of her time) performed double backs on what amounted to nothing more than a thick carpet. Those landings hurt like crazy on bare feet! Today the floor has been completely restructured to be safer and absorb the impact of landings, plus the added bit of spring.
01:20 ..."Dr. Hartley Price, winningest gym coach in the country, has helped make the Seminole campus so conscious of the old Greek disciplines of the gymnasium that any passing student might happen on a set of rings and do a difficult cross or crucifix." Actually those disciplines are the old GERMAN disciplines of Jahn's Turnkunst -- developed in the Napoleonic era. (But, I guess, ten years after the end of the 2nd World War, it wouldn't have been good to mention that.) ...."Greek gymnastics" were mostly what the British call "athletics" (track and field sports) plus wrestling, boxing and mixed martial arts (pankration). "German gymnastics" were once dominant in the service academies (like West Point) until the beginning of the Twentieth century when ball sports (such as gridiron football) displaced it in emphasis.
I doubt you’ll see this reply considering your original comment was over 15 years ago, but I’ll try anyway. Nadia Comaneci (and many others of her time) performed double backs on what amounted to nothing more than a thick carpet. Unlike today where the floor has been completely restructured to be safer and absorb the impact of landings, plus the added bit of spring.

It's fascinating how besides the increase in difficulty and the Handstand shape, parallel bars hasn't changed that much
