    Enjoy watching the evolution of one of the most spectacular Olympic disciplines - The Balance Beam! In the early days of women's artistic gymnastics, the beam was based more on dance than on tumbling. In the 1960s, the most difficult acrobatic skill performed by the average Olympic gymnast was a back handspring. The Balance Beam difficulty began to increase dramatically in the 1970s. Olga Korbut and Nadia Comăneci pioneered advanced tumbling combinations and aerial skills on beam; other athletes and coaches began to follow suit. The change was also facilitated by the transition from wooden beams to safer, less slippery models with suede-covered surfaces. By the mid-1980s, top gymnasts routinely performed flight series and multiple aerial elements on beam. Today, balance beam routines still consist of a mixture of acrobatic skills, dance elements, leaps, and poses, but with significantly greater difficulty. It is also an individual medal competition in the Olympics.

      A suede cover was added in the early 1980s to make the beam less slippery and extra springs were added at around the same time. Gymnasts before 1980 could not have done the kind of acrobatics we see today. That's one of the reasons you can see such a dramatic difference in difficulty starting in the 80s (the other reason is evolution in gymnasts' skill).
