Thank you, thank you for uploading this gem. I still believe that Olga Korbut deserved various 10s way before the also perfect Nadia. But Olga came first. What a style, what a technique. So graceful. I'll never understand why they were so strict in the judgements, only 4 years before Comaneci era. You recognize perfection when you see it, and that's what Olga Korbut's gymnastic style was. Perfect.
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.
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."
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 😢
I was about 13 when this originally aired. I was very much into gymnastics and I remember the rivalry between Ludmila and Olga. So interesting to see this again in its entirety and so clear. Thank you.
Olga's bar routine is my favorite gymnastics routine of all time. Nothing will top it. All of these bar routines were amazing, but Olga's was the best I'm so amazed with the girl with the pink headband. How did she get her hair that way without a strand moving?
Olga Korbuts bar routine was sublime. For me the most beautiful and best bar routine ever, performed perfectly in this event finals. She should have scored higher in my opinion. Karin Janz her routine was also excellent but Olga was just perfect. And poor Angelica Hellman, who had to performe during the noise.
Корбут , как бы играючи все делает без напряга , она была моложе всех по виду . Задорная девчонка , смешливая . Читала про нее биографию , интересная личность .
Impresionante la pitada del público a las juezas y emocionante la gran ovación a Olga Korbut. Ella ser merecía el oro en barras y por supuesto el 10. La mejor rutina de barras de la historia de la gimnasia.
@@marcosleon6950 a mi tammbien me agrada, pero por lo que se , esta penado ponerse de pie sobre la barra, eso le resta puntos. de no ser asi seria la ganadora.. lo que si no eentendi es porque pifiaron a la alemana hellman, el publico fue muy cruel.
This are vintage perfomances with all the spirit and the technicality of it, however watching Olga Korbut performance i have a feeling as if she is performing nowadays! She was so ahead of her times! Truly a STAR🌟athlete of all times! Artistic, talanted and charming!🌹
Olga Korbut was the most beautiful revolution in gymnastics. The best ever. Totally robbed on uneven bars by conservative juries. That was a 10, because it wasn't possible a 11. Her performance was and is the most iconic of this sport.
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.
This was the last Olympics where a country could have multiple gymnasts qualify, as long as they were in the top six. The two per country rule for event finals was implemented four years later at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, with three per country for the All Around.
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.
Great footage, thank you for posting ♥️ Great vintage Olympic gymnastics . Tamara Lazakovitch is a beautiful gymnast too. I still believe Olga was robbed of the gold on bars. Karin Janz did a great routine, Olga had the dazzle . 😊
Olga is a menace!! That’s the most impressive thing I have ever seen in the Olympics. The other girls were great as well, I also love the leotards they’re stylish yet modest. The gymnasts are slimmer and more elegant. If gymnastics was still this artistic I would watch it!
Cuando Olga Korbut gana la de Plata, fue largamente más ovacionada que la alemana que ganó la de Oro....algo increíble nunca antes visto en olimpiadas....además de extraordinaria Gimnasta, tenía un carisma, gracia y magnetismo únicos Olga Korbut, la Reina de los JJOO de Munich 1972❤❤❤❤
Love how Korbut congratulted Janz on winning the vault. She is such a treasure 2 gymnastics. She basically introduced this sport 2 young girls all over the world. She inspired me to try it ..😂
Nadia comaneci fue perfección,diciplina y estilo un 10 sin dudas en cuanto a olga korbut fue belleza,un encanto que tomaba riesgos y rebeldía..las dos son las mejores que han existido..aah,me olvidaba..para mi era un 11 para olga!❤
I have watched gymnastics for years, and have never heard of the gymnast Janz.. how is that possible? We hear all about the great USSR and Romanian gymnasts, but why jot Janz?? Her gymnastics is stunning - her tumbling on floor was more advanced in terms of number of skills in a pass, and the variety. Much more so than Nadia did 4 years later.
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.
I studied Olga's performances and believe she deserved a 10 fo beam an floor exercises. They ere so expressive I feel better than nadia who appeared more mechanical. 3:42
Wow how different the gymnastic sport was then vs today. I can’t believe they only did front handsprings on vault omg today they changed the entire sport it so much harder today. The video is so cool Korbut was amazing at bars they screwed her the score is too low. She such an innovative gymnast that move is so dangerous that why they banned it. To stand on the high bar that is scary to balance up that high up.
In some ways it's harder, in others, not so much. It's much safer today. The floor was not springy and easy harder to get height on. The beam had absolutely no padding, the bars didn't have much tension and their hands weren't protected with grips. I'm sure there's a lot more, but those few things make you start from a much more difficult place. The gymnasts of today couldn't do this (esp the bars) and the gymnasts of today couldn't do this bc they have all dropped the artistic from artistic gymnastics.
Ludmilla Tourischeva was the judges favorite but was miles away from Korbut. Envy was notorious: neither she nor Tamara were able to congratulate Olga Korbut for the gold.
@@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!
This is great footage. The tragic part is Tamara Lazakovich was a functioning alcoholic. They let her continue to complete knowing she was in serious trouble. I have to give it to her, she competed excellently. Sadly she died of alcoholism at the young age of 38.
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...
@@Amelie8H 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.
Я еще не родилась, а там такое творилось!!!! Как круто!!!! Такое удовольствие получила от просмотра!!!! Наши девочки!!! Прошло около 50 лет с тех годов!!! Как время идет, а переживания все те же, ничего не меняется, кроме времени.❤
Olga Kórbut vs Karin Janz, debió ser impresionante ese año para la gimnasia, aunque algunas más lo hubieron realmente bien... la arrogancia de Helmann por la calificación de Kórbut le salió muy caro, no tenía el nivel para igualar a la rutina y limpieza de la rutina de su contrincante, no suelo decirlo pero me dió gusto 😅.
Как жаль, что в начальном выступлении Людочки на ковре не слышно было музыку. Но Оленька и в танцах всех превзошла))) , лёгкая, прыгучая, воздушная , весёлая 👍❤️🚩😉😘
Лазакович стоит со слезами на глазах...от золота отделяют 25 сотых...Спасибо за кадры, смотрела и болела за девчонок, как будто они сейчас в этом юном возрасте :) Здоровья и долгие лета. Тамаре- памяти светлой.
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.
If Olga had been born in this era, I believe she would have embraced the sparkle of today's leotard. To see her in the present, you can tell she likes to amp up the style.
Olga Korbut not only changed how we saw Female Gymnastics, it also changed our perception of Russian women! Before 1972, we thought Soviet Women were ugly and weighed 300 pounds! This was the first real TV Olympics! I was alive in 1964 and 10 in 1968, but I didn't remember much about them. I was 14 going on 15 in 1972. Here we saw cute, spunky Soviet girls, especially Olga with her crooked pigtails. We also saw her cry, breaking the myth of Soviet women as emotionless robots!
Nunca he visto una ovación tan grande y tan larga a una atleta en una olimpiada como la que le hicieron a Olga Korbut, al momento de recibir la medalla de plata....increíble, la representante de GDR no podía subir al podio....medalla de oro en simpatía Olga Korbut...eternamente

@@ЛюдмилаКузьмина-х9в значит сама природа её "благословила".
Ольга просто невероятно милая,оригинальная спортсменка 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pues ... Korbut fue innovadora y genial y arriesgada ... fuera de serie ... pir eso paso a la historia mas alla de ganar una medalla hizo historia ❤
Wonderful! thanks for the gymnastics content! could olympic channel please upload the event finals for the men too?
Hellmann was unlucky to go just behind Korbut on bars. How could she focus with all that noise?
OLGA KORBUT ES LA GANADORA TOTAL ❤❤❤
Always liked Olga's pigtails.
Там хвостики. До косичек не дошло.
Какая красавица Людмила Турищева!!! Как же приятно смотреть на эту гимнастику! Сейчас -одна сложность,а Красоты нет....
Olga Khorbut is the best female gymnast in the world.. 🤍🤍
👍
❤🎉❤❤❤❤
Воробышек наш ))) Оленька. Красавица наша , Людочка ! ❤️🚩
I like the uniforms from back then much better than the ones now. No booties hanging out all over the place.
It would be great if you posted the men's competition too.
Как жаль, что в начальном выступлении Людочки на ковре не слышно было музыку. Но Оленька и в танцах всех превзошла))) , лёгкая, прыгучая, воздушная , весёлая 👍❤️🚩😉😘
Sports history. Excellent image quality!
Лазакович стоит со слезами на глазах...от золота отделяют 25 сотых...Спасибо за кадры, смотрела и болела за девчонок, как будто они сейчас в этом юном возрасте :) Здоровья и долгие лета. Тамаре- памяти светлой.
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.
Турищева была тяжеловата на вольных!. И что ее жалеть?! Она всегда была в шоколаде,даже когда из спорта ушла,ее хорошо пристроили
@@nikkispark6477У лазакович вольные были лучше,чем у Турищевой. Все- таки Корбут с Лазакович должны были поделить золото!
@@nikkispark6477Лазакович в сборнуюипришла раньше Турищевой. А на олимпиаду в Мехико Лазакович не пустила Латынина.
Жаль, что в начале вольных Турищевой нет музыки. Само упражнение - настоящий шедевр!
Beautiful outfits I must say. Simple, stylish, and no commercial brands to be seen.
If Olga had been born in this era, I believe she would have embraced the sparkle of today's leotard. To see her in the present, you can tell she likes to amp up the style.
Not fair even in that time. Olga was first and the best amongst all of them!
В те времена спорт был ещё честным!
Olga Korbut not only changed how we saw Female Gymnastics, it also changed our perception of Russian women! Before 1972, we thought Soviet Women were ugly and weighed 300 pounds! This was the first real TV Olympics! I was alive in 1964 and 10 in 1968, but I didn't remember much about them. I was 14 going on 15 in 1972. Here we saw cute, spunky Soviet girls, especially Olga with her crooked pigtails. We also saw her cry, breaking the myth of Soviet women as emotionless robots!
А Людочка наша просто красавица! ❤
Nunca he visto una ovación tan grande y tan larga a una atleta en una olimpiada como la que le hicieron a Olga Korbut, al momento de recibir la medalla de plata....increíble, la representante de GDR no podía subir al podio....medalla de oro en simpatía Olga Korbut...eternamente
