An exceptional floor. Great artistry and advanced tumbling, in the days when there wasn't much spring in the floor. What beautiful use of her head. The way she lifts her chin is so elegant.
Her posture and carriage throughout her entire body is sublime. But you are so right about her chin. She moves like she's conducting an orchestra. Absolutely beautiful!
De otro mundo!!! Que maravilla de rutina. Que placer! La gimnasia definitivamente llego a su apogeo en los 80 como mezcla de deporte y arte. A partir de ahi el arte se fue perdiendo y hoy por hoy es solo acrobacia.

Irina Baraksanova, Elena Mukina, Elvira Saadi ... such immense beauty and grace. And just look at female gymnasts today by contrast! Where is their artistry? To me they are not gymnasts, they are nothing more than power acrobats. How very sad.

She truly wasn't given the chance to shine. The Soviet coaches pulled her and Mostepanova from the all-around competition in favor of Omelianchik and Shushunova, claiming that Mostepanova and Baraksanova were injured because the coaches thought Baraksanova and Mostepanova did not have a chance at winning a medal.
Ironically, as Kati fell off beam, had Irina just hit her routines as in optionals and beat Mostepanova by at least .05 (and she had beaten her by .1 in optionals), she would have won the AA 🙏🏼
@TsubasaDreams well I guess they were right lol..didn't Shushunova and Omelianchik tie? Thats so crazy I bet she would have done great just being soviet.

Of course it isn't fair, but that's how it went and there's nothing we can do about it. In the end, in my honest opinion, while both Irina and Olga were exquisite gymnasts, they weren't even nearly as good as Shushunova and Omelianchik.
Well, you shouldn't be too mad at them...they certainly didn't to it just to be mean...back in the day, both gymnasts and coaches were pressured to bring home GOLD, if they failed to do so, they'd be in trouble, so they did what they have to do and switched these girls in order to have the best bet. Plus, I have never seen a coach making a mistake in this situation. In the end, even today, Russians have this attitude, remember Komova's words - silver is like no medal at all?
Floor is supposed to represent the personality of a gymnast. If a gymnast isn't comfortable grinning like the Cheshire Cat then you don't choreograph a floor making them do this. The stupid grins on the faces of some of todays gymnasts are ridiculous & fake. They seem to think a fake grin will detract from the fact they can't dance & haven't bothered to put any effort into the choreography.
marelicainavokado This routine is not one of the kind you can go smilin' like Chessire cat of Alice in Wonderland (ejem, like Simone) this one is serious more sentimental and deep, apassionated
Lmao with the mess that's going on in USAG and the USA Olympic committee right now, I think western countries can stop with Soviet conspiracy theories with no proof. Ask Aly Raisman how "happy" she was when training. Gymnastics is not about smiling.
Miserable..... this routine would’ve lost its entire artistic essence if she smiled the whole time lol. Gymnastics would be way better if it still looked more like this anyways
예전 시절의 레전드들!!!지금은 절대 따라갈수 없는 아름다움과 멋짐!!!❤❤❤❤

Beautiful gymnastics!!! If only today's gymnastics had as much grace and elegance!
If only they had a sixteenth!
One of the best and most beautiful routines, she was sooo lovely and elegant :)
She is truly beautiful.!
Great artistry and very good tumbling. Very advanced for her time. high double pike.She Reminds me of Anastasia Grishina.
Oooh I can see it!
tumbling that is still stellar today!
That middle pass! Je l'aime !
L eleganza atistica di Irina é insuperabile!
Oh, sì!!
Favourite floor routine all the time ...
best floor routine EVER

What a shame the soviets did not give her a chance to shine.!!!

Beautiful floor routine Irina Baraksanova
Would love to know what Yurchenko said as she stepped down.
*Why on earth are we 2nd and 3rd up???*
I suppose if the ends justify the means but it's kind of unfair for Baraksanova and Mostepanova, who hit when it counted.
I think Irina stood a great chance of winning the whole thing!
This is why I can't stomach to watch today's gymnastics. The FIG has totally written out any value for artistry...so sad.
AMEN! AMEN, BROTHER!!

この時代の女子体操に戻って欲しいです。今の女子体操は芸術性は無くなりました。
@TsubasaDreams well I guess they were right lol..didn't Shushunova and Omelianchik tie? Thats so crazy I bet she would have done great just being soviet.
This exemplifies artistic gymnastics. They use their entire body. Today's gymnasts just flail their arms and it's just ugly

same misuc as ivana hong's and same first tumble as ivana........... :)

I definitely don't expect gymnasts to put on fake smiles, but these girls are all miserable. They stopped enjoying what they did long ago.
