This beatifully illustrated book is a celebration of the rich heritage of women's gymnastics during the period 1966 to 1974, when the older gymnasts of former times gave away to a younger generation which brought with them a more dynamic approach to the spot.

First in a series of four volumes which will describe the history of women's gymnastics through 1996, Volume I contains 82 color and 95 black and white photographs for a total of 177 pictures!

In its 432 pages, Volume I covers the Mexico and Munich Olympics, the World and European Championships of the period and lesser competitions, such as the 1973 Universities Games.

Of equal importance are the biographies of the leading gymnasts. These will enable gymnasts of today and tomorrow to know what went on in the minds of their famous forebears. Chronologies for each gymnasts list their many achievements.

In addition, 82 routines are described in detail as part of the narrative. They are also illustrated by 84 diagrams taken from the official " Code of Points."

For gymnastis, coaches, judges, and anyone who answers "women's gymnnastics" when asked, "what is your favorite Olympic sport?"--this is the book!
