Cathy Rigby stated that Olga has done so much for this sport. So many don't understand that Olga started the USA explosion of interest in gymnastics in 1972. Olga was such a role model to so many little girls (including me).
Olga was an angel. Nadia was spectacular and deserved all the praise she got. but Olga was something special. she revolutionized gymnastics for women 🤍
She absolutely was. I feel like her, Natalia Yurchenko, Nadia, and a couple of others from the 1980’s really helped develop gymnastics to what it became.
Olga brought the US and USSR together…. We saw a little girl crying in 1972 when she messed up on bars…. AMERICA DID NOT SEE A COMMUNIST CRYING, WE SAW A HUMAN BEING WHO NEEDED COMFORT! THIS IS WHY THE WORLD NEEDS SPORTS!!!!!! BUILD A BRIDGE, A BOND, A LOVE FOR HUMANITY
So glad the crowd showed her so much love - she deserved every bit of it. I’m from Scotland and was born in the late 70s. I’d never had an interest in gymnastics and where I live in the highlands there wasn’t any facility or teachers, so it’s not something I was aware of. I can certainly see why so many young girls took up gymnastics after seeing Olga and Nadia in the 70s - they were incredible and it makes my jaw drop seeing such incredible strength mixed with beauty in their moves. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I'm from Inverness, and was born in 1980. For a long time, all we had was the ice rink, and the old baths. If my parents wanted to go to a gym, they would have to find an instructor, with a private gym.
I love them both & actually got to see the Russia gymnastic team starring Olga when they performed at the Boston Garden years ago..we had front row seats in front of yhe balance beam & everyone, especially me, was in such awe of her mastery. With that said, some of Olga's older performances deserved the much coveted score of a perfect 10. Olga should have been the 1st recipient of the perfect 10, Nadia rightly won perfect 10's all over the place...all I'm saying is this honor should have gone to Olga 1st
Even here at what was basically end of her career, you just couldn't take your eyes off her--because of the personality and because she was still performing better than a lot of other gymnasts would've at the same stage.
even as the cold war raged our hearts were warmed by the lovely Olga and Nadia who along with their team mates gave humanity in western eyes to the people of the soviet bloc.
Olga Korbut is the best ever! The first ever 10.0 should go to Olga in 1972, even the TV guy says: “I’d give her an Eleven” Isn’t she the most beautiful angel 👼 too? 😍❤️🥰
Actually the best ever was Nadia Comănești with 7 perfect 10's. Olga was the one to beat.I was also born in Romania, Nadia was a total unknown,very young,very thin& had to be perfect at the height of communism with very little to practice on,not much to eat.I know,I was there when Ceaușescu shook her hand,it was the only thing we would watch on our small black&white TV. The Russians were already well known,very good and under the kind of communism that gave their athletes anything they needed. Olga&Nadia were both excellent.
@@francescakatz2884 Nadia was the European AA Champion in 1975. & won 3 individual apparatus golds. She was definitely considered to be a contender in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
Olga was a Legend. They may have been a little generous with the score, as she did have problems with the landing, but I'm glad that she went out on top!
Have always remember watching this brilliant gymnast when I was at school, she was truly inspiring to watch and I was gobsmacked how she bent her body like that.
@@sinhueherrera8984 Now knowing the training practices back then, do you really think she was in love with what she was doing? Gymnasts trained an obscene amount of hours, they were literally BEATEN if they didn't do well. Come on.
Olga was such a beautiful gymnast and she was always ahead of her time, pushing the limits of what was expected. She always looked like she was having fun too, which makes it even more fun to watch her routines.
May I ask you something? Do you still refer to yourself as a Soviet or do you refer to yourself now as Russian? Just curious and no offense intended. (I hope Google translate gets my words right). 😊
I feel bad that Olga was overlooked so much. She was so innovative and apart from her abuse, she was capable of being such a brilliant gymnast! And Chernobyl by the way! Ugh so many struggles!

Впервые предложение о продаже медалей Корбут получила много лет назад, когда открывала гимнастический Зал славы в Атланте.

Olga simply did not have any difficult elements in her routine like Nadia did. No back handspring; no front aerial walkover; no connecting elements at all (Nadia did a back walkover into 2 back handsprings!); and she stumbled on every one of her dismounts. Olga was the story of 1972 but Nadia was the story of 1976 - a new era in women's gymnastics.
She became a legend doing amazing moves no one had done before. And now we have Simone Biles who makes Olga's moves look almost simple. Will humans successfully continue to push away the boundaries of what is possible?
Не смеши, для нынешней гимнастики это детский уровень. Ее "Петля" на брусьях запрещена потому что нельзя становиться ногами на перекладину, почти все остальные элементы в ее программах это категория В и даже С
Olga showed the judges and the world what a 10 looked like but they had never seen it and it was too late before they realized what they had witnessed. The next time they saw a 10 was with Nadia and knew from Olga what a 10 looked like.
Perfect comment! Olga was the true miracle! Just look at her flexibility in the backwards bends! She was a natural talent and litterally born for gymnastics. And as far as her floor exercise is concerned, we should always remember that at that time the floor was just a normal floor with a carpet. No springs like today were under it. Imagine Olga having had these devices - she would have gone flying...
Don't make things up. at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci were rivals. The Olympic Games in Montreal 1976 (in this video) were a failure for Korbut. She remained fifth in the all-around and did not qualify for the floor exercise and vault finals. On the uneven bars - the same apparatus that once showed the world the legendary “girl with pigtails” - she also took fifth place, despite her “loop”. Here she won the only silver medal for exercises on the balance beam, while Nadia Comaneci made a splash at the Olympic Games in Montreal. She became the first gymnast in history to receive the highest score at the Olympics - 10 (for her performance on the uneven bars), gold in the balance beam exercise, took bronze in the floor exercise and won the main award in artistic gymnastics - a gold medal in the absolute championship, something that never happened to Korbut.
@@JRake32Excuse me, what 10 points are you talking about? At the 1972 Munich Olympics, Olga Korbut took SECOND place in the uneven bars exercises. German gymnast Karin Janz won the gold medal. Olga Korbut NEVER had "gold" in the uneven bars exercises.
Olga was mistress of the beam while Nadia was mistress of the asymmetric bars. There's really not much between them, but for me, Nadia just has the edge.
My issue is that these coaches never wanted these girls to grow up. She was the pixie darling in 1972 with her pigtails, and here she is, obviously matured, older, and still with the pigtails. The Karolyis did the same to Nadia--childish routines and hand gestures when she should have been allowed to mature. The coaches kept training them as little girls even though their bodies had changed.
Gymnastics didn't catch on until the daring of an Olga Korbut! Then it started to progress into more than ballet moves with pointed toes spins and back bends! While it was more graceful looking, it was BORING until this young lady decided to push the bar! Then viewership for gymnastics went up and other young ladies wanted to do gymnastics. I myself didn't start watching gymnastics until I watched Olga! I really don't like the snide remarks people are saying about the gymnast of today, because being graceful and doing the complicated moves they are now expected to do don't compliment each other, unless they change the scoring. And I know there is another reason why people are upset as well and make snide remarks, but some of us in this thread know why and they know themselves why. I'll leave it at that. But I do like the gracefulness of the time, but waited to see Ms. Olga push the bar! So if you want to be upset, blame Olga for starting a gymnastic revolution!
“Freakish?” The ATHLETES of today are deserving of respect for their work and dedication to the sport. You are worth not one ounce of effort by anyone to even acknowledge for your existence.
