Often I’ve listed Natalia Shaposhnikova my favourite gymnast, all time.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. (1979)
I’d urge current gymnasts to steal everything they can from that choreography. 🙂
Like Yurchenko, Natalia was the total package: charismatic, artistic, flexible, strong … and yet still did big difficulty, for the day.
Happily we are reminded of her often due to the popularity of her Bar transfer.
