Can we have some more artistry, please? The work of the oft cited Ekaterina Vandisheva brought some balm to my soul, and I thought it worth sharing once more. This video dates back to 1993.
Vandisheva's career was cut short by hand injuries, sadly. Let's hope that the likes of Grishina and Komova can take forward the artistic legacy of gymnastics.

LOVE this beam routine! i could watch it all day :D i wish Grishina would do that "swing-onodi" it's so nice!
ReplyDeletewho does these skills nowadays with such control and elegance.. thank you for the video, I am in awe. Question- do you know when the Russian Cup is due? I know June, but we should know something more by now

Delete11th podium training, 12th MAG TF and qualis, 13th WAG TF and qualis, 14th MAG AA, 15th WAG AA, 16-17th MAG and WAG EF. Hope that helps.
does indeed! thank you
DeleteSo, so gorgeous—I love that Gainer Onodi and the fouettés. I am firm believer that the 1993-6 quad produced the most exquisite WAG work to date XD Vika actually reminds me a lot of Vandisheva in her lines.
ReplyDeleteMan, I miss real tumbling passes on beam...that gainer Onodi is sick and her foot form is unreal!
