Favorites of the 1950s

Gymnastics used to look a lot different. Below are some of my favorite routines from the 1950s:



Keleti is one of my all-time favorites. Not only does she show great extension, flexibility, and control in this routine, but she has one of the best back stories in all of gymnastics. A Hungarian Jew, she survived the Holocaust and achieved most of her gymnastics success in her 30s.



I love how dynamic this routine is.



This is specifically included for the illusion turn to split about 20 seconds into the video.
