Barbel Wielgoss (GDR), FX, 1989 DTB Pokal

Wielgoss was one of the last really gifted products to come out of the East German system. Injuries and the timing of the unification cut her career short. What I think is most significant about this routine is to point out that the East German gymnastics system, one of the most abusive in the history of the sport was training Thomas roll out skills. In case you wanted more nightmares about that system.
