Shushonova was such an amazing gymnast. It is clear that her ankle is bothering her, and yet, she still competed amazingly. RIP

The commentators are really good at what they do. Very informative and even get the pronunciations correct. Thankyou for the upload!

Gotta love the yellow floor. Quintessential Soviet style from the 80s.

Really great to see these gymnasts from the 1986 Goodwill Games. It was such a transitional time in gymnastics for the uneven bars, and you could see that the vaulting horse needed updating to a vaulting table. The skills were not always announced correctly, but perhaps the skills were new and maybe they were not calling the round-off entry a “Yurchenko” yet.

Shang Chunsong reminds me of Chen Cuiting.

Chen Cuiting is 8 years old here. Don’t be fooled by the blush makeup.

We all know she's three-and-a-half.
