Golden Age of Gymnastics – Beam

On the International Gymnast Forum numblemon lists her Golden Age of Beam.

From 1979-1985, I found beam to be the most innovative and graceful.

It’s an excuse to post likely my favourite gymnast of all time, Natalia Shaposhnikova.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

A reminder on why we no longer allow flash cameras at gymnastics competitions!

Hey, that was 30yrs-ago!

Where are the 1-arm handstand skills in 2009?

Click through to IG Forum see other examples from that era: Filatova, Agache, Illienko, Mostepanova (of course).
