    I am shocked that she thinks she wasn't very good on beam! That was her best event in my opinion, and her 1989 routine was about 10 years ahead of the sport.

      misina211 I was thinking the same! Her beam was fantastic!

      10 years ahead? Shit that routine could still challenge today!! The thing that amazes me is that. Those old routines had the difficulty, however, lacked the simple requirments that of course would be met had they known back then so I always give the cr a 2.0 even when they didn't have it. Only cause it's not they couldn't perform it, it's just it wasn't required!!

      I guess her '89 set meets all requirements of today's code… And she was amazing…

      That routine still has a 6.2 dv in the 2017/ 20 c.o.p.. Simone Biles has a 6.6... that's 4 tenths difference. She could have easily done a few different moves and matched Biles 6.6....Most amazing to me is, the routines are 30 years apart😲😲

    OMG, I absolutely love Dudnik and she still looks just as beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear about all the sorrow and tragedy she has experienced in her personal life. Hopefully, that is long past her and she is very happy and surrounded with love.

    Next to Elena Mukhina, my favorite gymnast. This is an excellent interview; a treasure to hear her speak. And quote worthy, especially her observation that gymnastics is an art that shouldn't be subjugated to a code of points. After the '89 USSR team I believe the quality of the sport began to decline to where it is today -- emphasis on tricks, hyperactive movements, and less artistry. Flow, grace, amplitude, beauty -- that's the heart of this sport.

    She and Yang Bo left the deepest impression on me in my teenage years. When Olesya first burst onto the scene, I was like, "Who IS this girl?!?" Such grit, beauty and skill!

    What a beautiful, humble lady. I can't imagine her pain of loosing her parents and her husband and still be able to smile. Some people go through so much tragedy in their lives and it's so unfair.

    Wow. I don't believe it. Olyssea Dudnik. Honestly, often when I watch the vault event I think of her and how her vault scores would still be right up there with the best of them. And she was also such a lovely gymnast to watch.

    Thank you for this. Such a wonderful interview! She had both the artistry and difficulty. Breathtaking gymnast and what a wonderful human being she turned out to be. Totally before her time but gymnastics is so much the better for her.

    I think the soviets spotted something on her that she herself wasn't aware of. That she was capable performing a very difficult and advance beam routine to shock the world. Knowing that her routines can still compete in today's COP, the soviets really are a scary bunch. Its ashame that they imposed it on her and sadly shortened her amazing career.

  • @admetric
    @admetric 3 года назад

    I strongly doubt she would have made the Olympic team. The sport was changing so drastically at the time, and there's no way she could have kept up on floor. They would not have put her on the team just for beam. Her bars were also subpar and would not have helped her. I think she's a blip in the history, but it's very clear she was not going to survive the coming wave of tiny acrobats who could do everything possible just trying to flip scores to get tens. She was nowhere near their level.

    • @wolfiesown
      @wolfiesown 7 месяцев назад

      I beg to differ. She was very young and her vault and beam were already way ahead of her time. Her bar routine already contained ridiculously difficult elements. I suspect that she still had a lot of growth in her. But nobody will ever know. The fact that many people keep looking at her bar and vault routines over and over again says a lot.

    • @ashleyjiang1333
      @ashleyjiang1333 2 месяца назад

      Olesya had a higher diffuclty overall than all gymnasts at Barcelona Olympics, maybe apart from Tatiana Gutsu - but Gutsu performed a FTY on vault instead of DTY. Her bars weren't subpar with that arabian mount which is now an F, and the turns and releases (tkachev and deltchev) are by no means subpar either.
