Not true. It started with Olga! Nadia was able to capitalize and take it up another whole notch! It's been said by many of the announcers back then. She was the one who gave the USSR some humanity when she cried because no one ever saw any of the girls cry, because they weren't supposed to show weakness. And her exciting routines encouraged more girls from the US to get into gymnastics. The US was not able to come close to competing with the gymnasts from the USSR back then. They dominated for years!

In 1996 during the Atlanta Olympics I had the opportunity to meet many Olympians of many sports from the past, Olga was just as genuine as they come, and so much fun to talk to. I happen to be working for ACOG at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Decatur, a suburb of Atlanta. Each night there was an entertainment spectacle allegorical of the Olympiads. There was a topnotch buffet style dinner and desserts and many athletes attended. It was an amazing experience for someone like me who is an avid Olympic fan. Olga and I talked for a long time. She told me funny stories and who she liked from her teammates and who she didn't like. There was no malice in her dislike for a particular gymnast. She simply resented the way she was treated by Ludmila Turisheva and only because Ludmila was jealous. She may have won the all around title, but Olga was the star. The 1972 Olympics belonged to no one else but Olga. Just like the Montreal Olympics belonged to Nadia Comaneci.

I was 13 during the 1972 Olympics; I remember all of us girls talking about Olga at school. She was able to perform genuine ARTISTIC gymnastics with the beauty of grace and ballet and still demonstrate skills. She should have won the All Around but the Soviet Eastern block judges felt it needed to go to Ludmilla Turchieva; Ludmilla herself in later years as a senior admitted that Olga was the better gymnast.

The best gymnast ever in my opinion, she was pure gold inside and out, there will never be another gymnast who was idolised like she was, and rightly so, 😊😊😊,
I will never forget you Olga!! Changed the sport overnight!! 💜💜💜🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful documentary! Exciting, reliving this unforgettable competition from so many years ago! Olga 'routines changed this sport and marked its evolution
I was a gymnast myself and used her music for my floor routine...that says everything, I loved and admired her...thx for this documentation, made my day
You're welcome, and thank you for sharing your experience and for kind words! 😐
This was an excellent video true reflections of being in that moment . She is a beautiful person - gymnast, truly changed the world of gymnastics. We will always love you and your fabulous smile 🌹
Loved seeing this legend who inspired us all, who we watched as this historic moment happened walk through her memory of her glory. We emulated her. There was nothing like her heart, joy, bravery, brilliance, spectacular mind blowing moves, grace, flexibility, control...it was incomparable and inspiring and made gymnastics explode.
Excellent Olga :) You shone so bright like a star that you are :)
Olga you're still a queen 😍😘🤗🤩🤩😘
Amazing video. She is magical.
What a fantastic memory video this was! I especially like the fact that she was reliving her experiences in the actual place that it first happened! ❤
Merveilleuse Olga😊
Such a beautiful soul and it showed everytime she performed👑⚘️♥️
The whole world fell in love with Olga. She launched 10,000 little girls dreams of being a gymnast. Olga Korbut did this all by herself. Her routines were so physical, dynamic and unique. She was amazing.
She was absolutely amazing !!!
До сих пор петлю Корбут никто не исполняет!👍👏
потому что ее запретили... ((( А в те времена несколько гимнасток исполняли, разумеется, гораздо позже Ольги. А несчастная, но незабвенная Лена Мухина еще ее и усложнила. А вообще, честно говоря, странно слушать, что абсолютной королевой гимнастики упорно называют Надю Команечи. Она, конечно, великолепна, но в 72-м, когда Ольга совершила настоящую революцию в гимнастике, Нади еще и в помине не было, будучи 12-летней девочкой.
@@mariaromashina8679 Я не считаю Надю королевой гимеастики, наши, сов.гимнастки - истинные королевы! А Оля Корбут совершила переворот в гимнастике!
. Yes she did. She changed gymnastics forever.
So emotional, that brought a tear to my eye.
Thank you Olga for your performances, and bringing the worlds attention to women’s gymnastics. You are a true icon of the sport.
I was watching back then. This woman is TOTALLY legendary. In a class by herself. Never to be repeated. The GOAT. Before there was a goat
I remember watching this as a child and being fascinated by the flips and twirls of gymnasts. I always wondered if your hips or stomach hurt when they hit that low bar. It just seemed painful to me. The Russians and Romanians ruled back then.
Still charming and lovely!
Dearly loved watching her when she made history. She was beloved like no one else. Seeing this show was a true delight, thank you for doing such a great job. PS...Has it really been 50 years, it seems like just yesterday -the happiest of memories. I am so glad things turned out so well for her; I wish I could tell her what an impact she made, but, happily, she knows🙂
Espetacular la verdad hay personas que an dejado un legado en el mundo y ella lo dejo ❤❤ un saludo desde Medellín Colombia
Miss korbut You are the Best ginmastic of all times ❤.
I am not a gymnastic fan as such, but this is a hell of a story. This goes so far beyond gymnastics, a story of human endeavour.
I guarantee those judges regret not giving her the gold medal. She was an absolute pleasure to watch. There is no doubt she captured the heart of the entire world at those games. Thank you for posting this amazing video
I was 6 years old and remember seeing Olga
This segment is superbly presented with its inter-spreading of ABC TV's coverage juxtaposed with Olga's personal reminiscence of the events. A truly insightful documentation of this historical event. Thank you for uploading this valuable piece of history so that viewers can forever have the opportunity to appreciate the magic Olga brought to Munich.
You're welcome! This short documentary was broadcast on Eurosport 1 in the evening on Christmas Eve 2022. I recorded this while browsing through tv channels , so it was a pure coincidence that I had it taped! A few first minutes of this footage aren't included here I guess, but I was lucky anyway to record all the rest. I'm glad I could share it with all of you interested in gymnastics. Greetings😐
I was 13 during the 1972 Olympics; I remember all of us girls talking about Olga at school. She was able to perform genuine ARTISTIC gymnastics with the beauty of grace and ballet and still demonstrate skills. She should have won the All Around but the Soviet Eastern block judges felt it needed to go to Ludmilla Turchieva; Ludmilla herself in later years as a senior admitted that Olga was the better gymnast. What a lovely performance from Olga, with each apparatus. Thank you for posting this
She's The Queen of gymnastic
She had such angelic features and so beautiful 😍
Sparrow of Minsk 🤍🌹🤍
Yes, Olga Korbut, we love you...I LOVE YOU...!😍😍😍
Olga Korbut and Yelena Shushunova,are the bests gymnasts of all the times
So lovely to see her replay it in her head second by second when she maid world history. She is a gold medal star 100%
Cuándo OLGA KORBUT tuvo su fallo en las barras asimétricas.. Y luego fue a llorar en la silla.. MILES de MILLONES en el Mundo la amamos.. y cuando se repuso Y volvió a participar de manera Perfecta..vimos su fortaleza de carácter.. 👍🇦🇷🇷🇺✌️
Extraordinary!
Deadly loops Olga, 1972... Corage ❤
Olga Korbut was amazing! Technique and art!
She was perfect and graceful, before anyone else (also perfect, but later)
Amazing woman.
Minhas musas eternas da ginástica olímpica: Nadia Comaneci e Olga Korbut. Inesquecíveis! A leveza é segurança dos movimentos são inigualaveis. Parabéns para essas atletas e muitas outras em um esporte tão belo, difícil e perigoso. Minha eterna gratidão.
Non dimentichiamo Elena Muchina che rimase paralitica
@@user-jf7ko7dv1j E' vero ed è una grande tristezza.
1972 Olga was *THE* most beatifull girl in the whole wide world. No doubt about it ❤️
What a lovely lovely woman ❤
She was incredible, the greatest!!
😮greatest OLGA!!!! LOVE YOU, ALWAYS
What a down to earth, warm, bright lady... Just makes me love her more. 🥰
We will never forget you. Olga Korbut, you were the first to win the world s hearts. You were the best.
That just took me right back to 1972. I remember that so well, she definitely should have won the uneven bars and everyone knew it, then and now.
Olga God bless you for all your accomplishments💐♥️🙏
I simply love you Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci you are the queens of artistic gymnastics
I never get tired of watching her.
I love Olga most.
Oh my god, olga, i will never ever forget you. Your work will forever be unmatched.
Ольга феномен!!!Респект и Уважение!!!и тоска по СССР...в СССР БЫЛИ ЛУЧШИЕ,СИЛЬНЫЕ И ТАЛАНТЛИВЫЕ ЛЮДИ!!!
The little Russian girl who ignited WAG to the world!♥️
Don't insult her! She is Ukrainian!
She's actually Belarusian born in Minsk.
@@mharlon09. I stand corrected. I remembered that she wasn't Russian, but forgot that it was Minsk and not Kyiv.
@@pumagutten Korbut also represented Russia as a Soviet team member in 72' & 76' Olympics.
@@Jay6459 Russia didn't take part in the Olympics in 1972 and 1976. It was Sovjet.
Yes, we still remember you, beautiful wonderful graceful memories. Thank God for you too. We can watch these things over and over and disappear into the past like a Time traveler for a little while.❤
I don’t understand how she never got perfect 10s like Nadia
Because judges in artistic gymnastics evaluate not showiness, but flawless (error-free) execution of a combination, which Olga Korbut did not have.
