Description: Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby demonstrates how to execute four basic gymnastics routines--the vault, floor exercise, uneven parallel bars, and the balance beam. Uses slow-motion and stop-action photography to break down each routine into its separate movements as she explains not only the techniques for performing it, but also her personal philosophy about gymnastics. Also features Nadia Comaneci, Olga Korbut, and Nellie Kim.
