Věra, what a legend you are. Your 'silent' protest, for me it was loud and clear, meant and still means the world to me. An action which had an impact on my life for ever. You will be missed for ever heroine Věra Čáslavská.
I love watching old times and I love how it's so clear
Unbelievable to see legends like Caslavska and Kuchinskaya in living color. Just breathtaking.
Oh my god thank you so much for this videos! I´m a mexican teenager now, and I always wanted to know about olympic games in my country

I am so shocked right now.... THE QUEEN, THE LEGEND
I just love how Vera Čáslavská's hair changes between 2 different hairstyles during the 'same' bar routine at the 2 min mark. Continuity nightmare!

How beautifully shot. It looks almost modern, not - gasp - half a century ago. Thank you for posting this.
vera, Mexico's heart belongs to you , we'll allways remember you , see you in Paradise to hug you , God bless Checoslovaquia and vera
Was Vera literally smiling through her uneven bars routine? WOW. That's hard to do.

I watch it twice and she really was smiling. Maybe that is her way of saying " beat that you ruskie".

To bad she died this past year at 74 from pancreatic cancer. I read that her marriage was tumultuous to the runner guy she married during these Olympics. Had a son and daughter. The son had an altercation with her husband (his father) when he was 19 and hit in the head.It caused him to go into a coma for which he later died in 1993. The son didn't end up going to jail due to lack of sufficient evidence. Apparently she never was the same after that, though she got into coaching later on. Sad how sometimes life can turn out when you think you have it all.
Amazing cinematography, just amazing! Compositions, way of storytelling, movement, the attitude of this video shot in 1968 for the sport event is just terrific!!! Could you please tell me the aspect ratio and film format (16mm, 35mm) of the original footage? Thank you.
This opening vault compared to Mckayla Maroney's ...incredible how things change!
Ahh this is so awesome! Love the video quality, the audio dubbing is kind of goofy but the awesome music totally makes up for it. The series of clips starting at 8:24 would get the producers of this in a whole lot of trouble had it been made today :3
Que asombroso ver las olimpiadas que se realizaron en mi país. Muchas gracias por el video, aunque es importante destacar que las olimpiadas en México no se disfrutaron con el orgullo y felicidad totales por el hecho ocurrido en Tlatelolco :(. Pensar que familias estaban tristes y con coraje por lo que fue capaz de hacer el gobierno mexicano. El 2 de octubre no se olvida :(
True artistic gymnastics here. It had to be so hard on the body to tumble on what appeared to be little more than a thin Matt with carpeting. They performed with graceful athleticism with a smile on their face. R-I-P Ms Vera Caslavska. One the greats.
Beautiful Vera 💗 I can’t believe, she was smiling through bars routine 😊
Imprecionante facinante ver estos videos olimpicos y todavia no nacia...

Hi David... yes it is, but don't miss Kon Ichikawa's milestone filmography of the 1964 Tokyo Olympiad. Only Leni Riefenstahl's 1936 Berlin Olympics did something so completely different like Kon.
Спасибо за историческое видео в прекрасном качестве!!!❤
Omg i love their hair
Where can I get all the clips of Vera Caslavska in good quality?!
This is what real gymnastics supposed to be. Today´s gymnastics is only acrobatic, jumps with lack of flexibility and artistry Soviet technique was amazing, Vera was simply superb...Good bless Vera Caslavska !!!

@@OneWhoLivesThere That isn't a "soviet athlete", that's a Czechoslovakian one. That difference is pretty important, especially at those olympic games, since that was the year that Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia. Čáslavská protested when she won the gold medal by turning her head to the side when soviet anthem was played. And she got banned for it for several years by the communistic government.

@@mrkv4k Thanks for the explanation. I am referring to the woman at 8:55 with an emblem on her chest that looks to read "OSSR". You are saying that OSSR refers to Czechoslovakia? I am familiar with USSR and likely mistook OSSR for USSR when I made my comment.
Nice typo in the info box. I believe you meant 1968 not 1986. That would be a vast devolution in sporting standards from 1984 and then rapid return in Seoul 1988 :-p

Solo vine aquí por ver a la hermosísima Zinaida Voronina (Druzhinina).
Back when gymnastics was still a real sport. Real athletes, real women. No drugs, no springs, no padded beams. Just beautiful gymastics.
vera ella fue la que debio sacar el primer 10 perfecto si era una verdadera estrella de la Gimnasia
Věra Čáslavská is very good 👍🏻

A shame all these pretty-looking women with perfect, but normal bodies instead of the beautiful amass of muscles we have nowadays. And at 8'38" a festival of camel's toes.
