Summary
However, the first standing flip she does on the high bar is also banned and its actually named after her because she is the first gymnast to do this move. However, the current bar set up which we changed to in the 80s, made the low bar and high bar much farther apart and make the dismount skill essentially impossible to do.Interestingly enough, another famous gymnast from the time, Elena Mukhina, added on to the Korbut Flip by adding a full twist prior to the ban.
