[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]former gymnast here. I agree with OP and was watching the current event. The flip flop hand gestures and the curious back arching done on the beam is not attractive and relatively new. Just to confirm, I went back to Olga Korbut in 1972 on the beam and you don't see it. Her arms are held out with hands somewhat flayed but there is no flick-flick or the weird adjustment of the back/torso that is done now.[/quote] Nadia did it in 1976. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odTtfnWdfGU [/quote]
