It has been 22 years since 1989, a year held up by gymnastics fan as the golden age of artistry in the sport. 1989 was the year of Svetlana Boginskaya, the Goddes of Gymnastics at her best ( watch her on the Beam and Floor Exercise ) and also of Olessia Dindik, Natalia Laschenova, Olega Strazheva …..
Here too were Romanians Daniela Silivas and Aurelia Dobre, as well as China’s Yang Bo. Though 1989 Dobre and Silivas were nearing the end of their competitive careers, their elegance was still paramount. Silivas 1989 World Championships Event Final on Floor was one example of the Womens’ Artistic Gymnastics.
To recognize artistic movements is to observe art in action. Watching professional dance and theatre productions will help us understand artistic movements.. Notice the way these professional express themselves in movement, use gesture to accent a movement, complete every move, and extend their lines. I was surprised to watch a dance performance on television and saw a beam routine performed by a dancer! The movements were precise, appeared effortless, unquestionably recognizable, flowing, and elegant. Watching this sequence performed so superbly helped me to see the art and the artistry.
Artistry deductions in gymnastics are helpful in distinguishing performances among athletes
I hope you will consider placing more emphasis on dance as an integral part of the training of your gymnasts!
An outstanding performance deserves an outstanding award. Here’s one clip on Artistry in Gymnastics.
