Huh?

Yeah, a country that had horrible men like Lenin and Stalin at the head of their government. A country that persecuted its own people for 70 years, and Eastern Europe for half a century. A country that allowed no freedom of speech, religion, or press. A country that abused its athletes with barbaric methods. That's epic alright.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@@peytonthomas4338 i think stalin is more cruel than lenin, my pfp tho

@Johannes Cailles Guttenburg According to the A&E documentary More Than a Game, the Soviet coaches would have some of their gymnasts impregnated so that they could absorb the nutrients of a pregnant woman. After that, they would abort the baby. Former Soviet gymnasts who coach in the US and Canada like Olga Korbut and Elvira Saadi have been reported for abuse. I know the American gymnastics system has had its share of abuse, but it was not systemic abuse and the coaches were later caught and fired. The Soviet coaches, on the other hand, were never fired and the athletes would have most likely never been allowed to compete if they tried to report their coaches to anyone. That is how they abused their athletes.

And they were teenagers. Creepy

***** under the auspices Revolution, everyone was successful...

Russia is not the same as the USSR.

iamkarenh Once it's Soviet, Russian forever SOVIET!!!!

It's still not the same.

iamkarenh If you see Victory day every year, Russian army always bring Soviet flag!!! SOVIET FOREVER!!!!!!

wtf? why rip?

Pneumonia hates shushunova :(

That is all correct. Romania was under a vicious dictatorship, even worse than the Soviets. I was always uncomfortable with the Romanians then, it the same I am with North Korean gymnasts now, they too were not allowed to mix with others And the Romanian supporters were the party workers that were allowed out of Romania. Getting rid of that industrial symbol was very important for Romania. Nobody at this time imagined what would happen. Even at the 1989 Worlds, about two weeks before the Berlin Wall came down, nobody knew that change would come fast. And Nelson Mandela was realised in 1990.

all their flags are communist

When will the same happen to the evil CCP who created the W.u.h.a.n Virus and worked side by side with the evil big techs like KZfaq to silence all critics?

@@saychunjo2153 China nevera created the COVID there was the USA

And Soviets became winners of that battle. It once again confirmed Soviets' supremacy in the world sport...

I regret what happened to you as a Chinese.

Indonesia for soviet..uraaaaa

You must blame two subjects - the Idiotic and childish Gorbachev, and the naive and stupid Soviet people! Look at the Chinese: Deng was smart, and the Chinese people are much smarter than Soviets, and the Chinese always knew that the West's ultimate intention to harm you and your country, period!

I miss URSS every day more

Papa Stalin woulda been proud

In a country where the act of flying the Soviet flag was illegal.

Probably she would have failed a drug test

@@metsdudenj Exactly what I was thinking regarding Jentsch.

She had two broken feet.

@@Dutchfan33 Seems to be walking very well for having two broken feet. I'm sorry, but I question her injury.

@@DesertStreams002 I’ve read a interview with Martina,she said that the coaches wanted her to compete in the team finals. After she refused she got the cold shoulder from them,Later when it turned out that both of her feet were broken,some of them apologized to her. I believe that Brandy Johnson also competed with broken feet at the 1989 worlds.

The 6th one, Olga Strazheva, was in hospital, watch here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdFgi9Vz1KfVeaM.html

Olga Strazheva injured her knee during her balance beam routine. She had to be carried off the podium. From there, the Soviet team had to finish with 5 athletes. No problem.

It is called arirang.

@@terry3872 so sorry but do you know the version of this kind of arirang like in this video, i already tried searching for Arirang but that all was sounds like sorrow 🙏

@@benkyo5177 yes. You are right. Original version is slow and sorrowful. I tried to find more cheerful version. But all that I found was more of techo version. It is typed 아리랑 in Korean. I will look around and if I find anything I will post the link.

The Olympics are not every day, but it certainly is very strange seeing it because of the political situation during the 19th century.

Solo eran de Rusia, Yelena Shushunova y Yelena Shevchenko; habían dos de Bielorrusia(Svetlana Boguinskaya y Svetlana Baitova) una de Letonia(Natalia Laschenova) y una de Ucrania(Olga Strazheva).

Perhaps, in your slumberland. Lol.

Aurelia Dobre and Daniela Silivas could get the all-around title and the second place with their best routines and health in Seul !

Nope, its seoul

And yet, Martina Jentsch withdrew from the team finals because of an injury, but miraculously was able to walk to the podium in full leotard to get the bronze medal.
