was gymnastics better in the 1980s?

I’m always saying the best Women’s Artistic Gymnastics was in the late 1980s in the former Soviet Union.

Many agree.

But after watching the latest MostepanovaFan video, I’m not so sure.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

In most cases the modern version is better than the 1980s version.

Of course it’s not a fair comparison. The apparatus is far better now. AND we have so many good Chinese gymnasts now.

Note that YouTube has already disabled the audio. I’m getting increasingly irked with YouTube. It will be time to leave for another service soon.

Perhaps GymnastTube.
