Many of you may remember Peter Shilston's work in the 1970s and 1980s for International Gymnast and The Gymnast magazine in the UK. I know that for many years his articles provided a highlight for me.
Peter loves the Soviet gymnasts as much as I do, and has some pictures of his experiences reporting competitions and displays on his blog. The gymnasts featured include Korbut, Grozdova, Yurchenko, Shaposhnikova, Filatova and many more.
Do take some time to explore Peter's blog- there are some good historical essays there, and if you scroll through far enough you will find a very funny story of his visit to the 1981 Moscow World Championships :-)
