Flashback to 1984: Mary Lou Retton on UB at the McDonald’s American Cup. Bars of this era always makes me flinch, it just looks so painful when they slam their hips on the bars! But the bars being so close together really allowed for some cool and innovative moves that they just can’t do today, so it’s really cool to take a look back and see how the sport has changed. This routine got Mary Lou a 9.95. Hope you enjoy!
