Can anyone tell me wich is the title of the song please?

its Lifehouse- Everything

Thank you so much! this song is wonderful

aww seeing Elena Mukhina in this montage makes me almost cry! excellent montage.

i absolutely love the girl at 3:05. so much emotion from such a young girl!! superb montage!!!

This makes me cry. Its so beautiful and sad.

You mean Kips? I remember doing Kips back in the day. (1976-1992 when I was in gymnastics) Ugh I hated them. Gymnasts today are very lucky that they don't have to do Kips, lucky them.

No, kips are upstarts; the move that you do before you cast to handstand. Belly beats are where the stomach is whipped against the bottom bar, Very painful!!

Breathtaking. Stunning. I miss this kind of artistry so much. Fantastic vid.

No. Elvira Saadi appears in this wonderful montage, but not until 5minutes 36 seconds into it.I am not sure who the girl at 52 seconds is, obviously she was on the Soviet team, as she is with Ludmila Tourischeva, but I am not sure who it is.
