      I think Vera deserves to be discovered by the new generations who weren't even born when she competed. She was an example of grace both as a gymnast and as a human being.

ES UNA DICIPLINA DIFÍCIL Y MUY COMPLETA LLEVAN EL BALLET EN SI ES HERMOSA LA GIMNASIA OLÍMPICA Y CLARO HAN SALIDO GRANDES GIMNASTAS COMO NADIA PERFECTA

    • @Gymnastly
      @Gymnastly  3 года назад +2

      La gimnasia de Caslavska era de una gran belleza, con movimientos pausados, bien definidos. Es una gimnasia que, para bien o para mal, ahora a muchos les parece aburrida, puesto que no había mucha acrobacia. Hoy en día pocas federaciones dan ya importancia al ballet, aunque en Rusia sí se sigue practicando y ello se traduce en los ejercicios de sus gimnastas.

    Just another reason to despise the Soviets and their cruelty towards basically every human being they came in contact with. Vera is still an icon in the sport, nothing can take that away. Her protest at that games was a brave and inspiring act. People wonder why I say every Olympic competition the Soviet Union competed in was tainted, but the reality is they had control of the judging and they decided who got medals. I’m glad she was able to accomplish all she did in spite of their unwanted presence.

      The Soviet regime (not the actual people) was nothing but a pack of bullies. I felt so sorry for the prisoners, I mean citizens and was so happy for them when Gorbachev tore down that wall like Reagan asked him to.

    Vera realmente fue una gran gimnasta artística, con movimientos graciosos y elegantes.. llenos de soltura..
    Parce volar en sus ejercicios de piso!!
    No se ve forzada, al contrario, goza cada movimiento..
    Hoy dia, la gimnasia tiene muy poco de artística y es más acrobática.. las gimnastas lucen tensas, duras, y se venuy forzadas al "volar".. físicamente lucen toscas.. nada elegantes...
    No hay duda, que Vera es una de las más grandes y mejores gimnastas de todos los tiempos!!
