Olga Korbut's Amazing Uneven Bars Routine in 1972

You'll want to see several replays of this (forgive the annoying and oddly placed rock music in the background). After watching gymnastics every night this past week, this move would seem incredible, daring, even spectacular today, let alone 40 years ago. I almost thought it was computer generated the first time I saw it, it surprised me so thoroughly. Apparently, the Korbut Flip on uneven bars is no longer allowed in gymnastics competition because it involves standing on the high bar, a maneuver which is now illegal in the Code of Points. The two bars seem closer together then as well, making this loopty-loop possible.

And look at the conspicuous lack of padding on the ground. I'm guessing there weren't many personal injury lawyers back in 1972.
