This video features many older gymnasts such as Cathy Rigby, Kurt Thomas, Bart Conner, Mary Lou Retton, and Tim Daggett. It also shows routines from the early ages of Kim Zmeskal, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, and more. This may not appeal to younger gymnasts who are not firmilar to older gymnasts, but they may enjoy seeing performances from them and learning about them too. These performances are basically 10.0 performances, which is why they made the golden moments. If you enjoy seeing old routnies and gymnasts then this is the movie for you.

This video has ALL the great snapshots of gymnastics history, from nadia's golden moments, to the mag-7 team in Atlanta. The video is about 90 minutes long, and shows the historic rutines in full, and even the older footage is very clear on this tape. The video includes names like: nadia, bart conner, mary lou retton, kerri strug, as well as russian/soviet greats...including the rutine with the first triple back somersault on floor-X. A great video all-around...you'll watch many times over!

This video is all highlights of the National Championship competitions. There is no Olympic footage in this film, with the possible exception of a beam routine by Cathy Rigby which was clearly an amature video with added commentary. Nadia is in this video for about 5 seconds (no gymnastics) and Kerry Strug is not in it at all which is ashame. Another reviewer in this section states that Strug appears in the video, but only her name is mentioned. There are a lot of great routines in this video, but it would have been nice to see some Olympic performances. Overall the video is okay and entertaining, but it was definitely not what I had anticipated based on other reviews in this section.

I think that the other two reveiwers that have given their view of this video have been far too harsh! This is an excellent video which is well worth adding to any gymnastics fan's collection. It contains some rare footage of artistic gymnastics routines from 1970-1996. All routines are fully shown, with commentary and sound, and a great variety of gymnasts are shown; from Mitch Gaylord to Dominique Moceanu. It is a shame that this title is out of print but I would recommend you to purchase it from one of Amazon's Marketplace Sellers as this video is well worth it!

This video is absolutely wonderful! It gives some of the greatest moments of gymnastics. The video gives good viewing time of both the women's and men's events. It will inspire all young gymnasts to excel at the sport. I highly recommend it for the gymnastics enthusiast or to the young aspiring gymnast who wants to see what hard practice will truly accomplish.

I bought this video because I thought the past performances were olympic and/or world championship meets. They covered old performances that were very good but they failed to highlight each gymnast best events and were cut short. The majority of the meets covered were national meets. I did like the way that they gathered "off" events(for each competitor) that you probably won't be able to see on TV again.

This video was great but it is all on Americans I thought that I would see Nadia and Olga but I guess not. It was good though it showed about two to five routines for each gymnast there was men and women. It was even better the second time because you knew what to expect!

If you would rather see a much more thrilling video, then i would recommend Rock n Roll gymnastics.
