Its Anatoly I clean here no ?

@@JaSon-wc4pnif she went up to them and said she could do the routine perfectly and does, that would’ve been hilarious lmao

and the fact that they didn't tell her to turn it off and move is nice

@@madeline5473 It's a fake routine, no?

Ich finde sie sieht aus wie aus Ghostbusters

I KNOW THAT SIMONE BILES CANT DO AS WELL AS NADIA COMANECI❤ AND I KNOW THAT NADOA COMANECI IS BETTER THAN BILES❤

@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuckyou’re kidding right?

@@moonvine11 NADIA COMANECI IS MUCH BETTER THAN SIMONE THE FAKE BILES🥰🥰

​@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuckWhat a bizarre comment to make. Gymnastics has changed so much you're essentially comparing two entirely different sports.

​@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck first, no need to keep shouting 😂 Second, today's uneven bars are so much different than back then, it's like comparing apples and patio furniture. Nadia could never have performed like Simone can, and Simone could never perform like Nadia did. The apparatus is vastly different and each trained to excel on the bars as they were. Nadia was the greatest of her time. Simone is the greatest of hers.

Right?! I mean, I've seen that routine a million times, but the way they broke it down made me appreciate it a thousand percent more!

Nadia is the best gymnast in the World

@@VeroD-ow5zx I'll never forget watching her in the competition at the time, when the scores came in I was blown away. Nadia is a legend. How different the Olympics were then, at least it was about the sport and the competition had integrity.

Not to mention that at Montreal she did her uneven bars routines bare handed with no grips, and the bars were a bit bigger around.

I thinks thats why she got a 10 lol

They are gymnast but retired from official or professional gymnastics so their body is not at their peak and might not even the apparatus they are good at but old gymnastics are really difficult and risky that’s why some mores are banned .

honestly, its funny, noone would attempt an olympic routine from todays time just trying it for one day. The moves are super uncommon today and the bar was set even closer, so going from highbar to lowbar was just reaching up more or less. But i agree they would need to put in a lot of training to become good at that routine and buy a new set of bars

That was her magic: to do things look easy. That’s really hard.

That’s what I was thinking about.

literally mens parallel bars adjusted for height and widened slightly

do you think that her very light weight played a role also ? (I don't know anything about uneven bars ....)

I know. I love the bar routines of the 70s and 80s. They're just breathtaking.

​@@tarantellalarouge7632 Yeah, it was a different kind of training & performance style back then - based on flexibility, precision & flow of movement, not strenght. So, puberty was actually working against you, instead of for you like today (bc it makes you stronger). In order to compensate for the body naturally losing its effortless, prepubescent agility as it matured, they had to become *as light as possible.* And for that, they were training while undergoing a very restrictive food regime at the same time. That's why Nadia (along with most other old school gymnasts) looked like a twig... and also why the average age of professional gymnasts was so low, with most retiring before or around 20.

Knowing they are wood, explains how easily Nadia took the bar to the gut, compared to now

​@@deannad9105 It's more difficult now?

@@dyawr Now that I think about it, I was thinking it was made out of metal, because I watched a video on Ian Gunther's KZfaq channel for the men's bar. He broke the bar and then made rings (as in jewelry) out of the broken metal. But I don't know if the woman's bar is the same or not 🤔

@@deannad9105 That's interesting 🤔

Not to knock nadias skill one bit, but i think the fact she was so young and so tiny really worked in her favor with how she flew so “easily” - other gymnasts of the time often commented they just couldnt do those tricks with extra weight. Nadia also was amazingly talented and worked tirelessly… but i think it was a right time right age thing too. She may not have been able to pull off same skills at 14-15. It is magic to see her even today ❤

Exactly! I couldn't cope with all the bruising. It's so hard to know, just by watching a routine, how much it can batter you, and it's treated by trainers as just part of being a gymnast.

people praise the old bars, but honestly i'm glad it changed, these looked so painful

I was a walking bruise due to bars and beam... lol

I remember as a kid just STARTING to learn how to use the bar and being SO sore after the first day that my mom thought I might be having an appendicitis.

At first I thought it was the Mos Eisley Cantina jam from Star Wars, which would have been great for these Jedi warriors.

I legitimately kept thinking someone was vacuuming in my home 😂

Jules Gaia songs - Royalty free I think, they use them all the time on Nerdforge channel as well.

I didn’t notice the vacuum, thought it was “sound o’ big dump truck outside gym!” How far from Leeds trinity is that gym?

Cathy Rigby once commented on her bar routine: "You know, it doesn´t even look difficult"

Wow interesting. Thanks for that insight. I'm fascinated by the breaking down of skills even though I can't even do a cartwheel.

Women's gymnastics lost so much artistry in routines with that change. Scoring changes removed a fair amount from the beam, giving no incentive for some gorgeous and thrilling beam mounts of years ago.
