+katfish423 I know lol... I always went barefoot on the beam because footies, which was what we wore back then, were all the rage. I didn't like sliding off the beam on my side aerials! And I never wore grips for the same reason- couldn't feel the bars and you had to hold on tight to stay on!
Nothing like falling and nailng the side of you leg on the beam. The bruises were AWESOME. No waynwould I wear footies. It would be like sliding on ice.
Да, мы тогда были маленькие и очень худые, "сухие", жилистые. Мой рост тогда был 157 см, я и сейчас такого же роста осталась. Тогда девушки-гимнастки были маленького роста, миниатюрные!😊
It's amazing to see just how much the sport has changed in my life time let alone from it's formation in the nineteenth century. I do wish that more the "artistry" were brought back to artistic gymnastics because now it has become more about doing dangerous stunts and less about the art of movement on an apparatus.
Where is the beam final? I wish this is format was used by NCAA. The first with 2 groups of 6 for the team and AA champion and the individual event finals on day 2.
Очень красивая хореография на вольных тогда была! А сейчас сплошная акробатика в темп, всё втемп делают, сейчас (2024 год) много "грязи" в упражнениях.
wow so back then, a full broadcast is 18 minutes
“A little low” she fell on her hands
Lisa Ingebretsen was my first coach. Her bar routine here was awesome.
Man..brings back memories. I remember our wooden beams, bars and dead mats. Good times.

Ironically the intro music was a instrumental to the song, "Good Times".
Ann Carr, thanks for the class that you brought to gymnastics.
Wow, gymnasts who are 5'6" and taller. How different it used to be...

Couldn't agree more.
12:55 understatement of the decade
Then- small step on the landing but great overall... Today-oh she stepped out a centimeter she is out of medal contention, her career is over
This is so true like I don't get why they deduct them so much for a hop or step on a landing, especially with how difficult some dismounts are now smh
Crazy dismounts from the UB, though! Can't believe all the directional changes!
Thanks so much for uploading this. I love the older videos.
Мои счастливые 1980-е годы в гимнастике! Хорошие кадры, приятно вспомнить то время, спасибо!❤
This was before the NCAA Women's Gymnastics began.
Bars were really cool back then!
I wish bars where still like this
Thank god bar routines have evolved and increased in difficulty.
Glad the gymnastics has changed a lot
I love watching the Bars from the 80's. And those leotards... lol
Blast from the past!
Some of these girls are just as good as nowadays i figured it would be like watching high-school gymnastics!
I see favoritism in judging, or as it's called today 'reputation', was alive and well then.
Sandra Smith was robbed in vault. Sharon Shapiro's preflight form was bad.
They never showed beam. I guess it's okay because nobody usually posts old-school gymnastics like this.
And where's beam
God, I wish they still scored like this.
Sharron is my new favourite
Sharon Shapiro was a great U.S. gymnast of her day, as was Ann Carr. It's a shame they didn't show the balance beam final.

Wow things were different back then weren’t they?
Who’s watching in 2019?
Me
Feb 2024
Yeah that girl's step on vault (the first girl) was so little it was freaking huge lol smiley-cakes
Laid out tkusara was the 88 compulsory vault
Marcy Levine is my new favourite person
How right they were about the University of Utah and collegiate gymnastics

It's so unbelievable how long ago this was
I wasn't born yet

Bars were actually creative then...

11:57 Come On Eileen! ;)

“Free fall over the bar” but she goes under the bar
I spelled didn’t wrong
Mo

WAS IT RUDE THAT I LAUGHED?
Panda
🤔
Simone can do all of these routines with a broken leg lmao
Joshua Decker-Jones okay. If that's what u believe I won't bother to tell u how stupid ur comment is :)
Yasmin Samman lmao you just did
The bars are to close
Simone can do this with a broken arm
Im not saying they are bad i am saying the routines are too easy
i am 10 and i can do their tumbling passes.
Everything was so much simpler then it's wierd O_o
XOxoxoOX Perry Keep in mind that the floor was much less bouncy then (though yes, routines now are harder nevertheless)
on that floor? lets see it
When I was in high school we competed son wrestling mats. This floor isn't a wrestling mat, but its nothing like the floors today.
@@ViardotVSGrisi i mean yeah he could. Assuming he is probably level 9-10! the passes on floor were not that hard
1980s thats so long ago
I don't think Sharon Shapiro should have one because she meet up on floor a lot
