Olga korbut's personal journey

Before the Munich Olympic Games, gymnastics has always been regarded as "sports ballet", which attaches great importance to the gorgeous and beautiful movements, but the difficulty is generally not high. The champions are adults with many years of competition experience. Korbut changed this tradition. Since Munich Olympic Games, the number of gymnasts has become less and less. Many brave little girls follow Korbut's example and dream of standing on the highest podium of the Olympic Games one day. After the Munich Olympic Games, Korbut returned to his hometown of Grodno, Belarus, and letters from all over the world came like snowflakes. In just one year, she received more than 20,000 letters. Therefore, the post office specially arranged a postman to deliver letters for Korbut.

1976 At the Montreal Olympic Games, Korbut made great contributions to the seventh women's team champion of the former Soviet Union. She also won a silver medal in the balance beam competition and fifth place in the uneven bars and individual all-around competition. Besides, Korbut won dozens of gold medals in world championships and European competitions, and was one of the most successful female gymnasts in the world at that time.

Korbut is deeply loved by people, so she has been invited by many countries. She was received by the Queen of England and accompanied by the British Prime Minister on a boat trip to the Thames. The king of Iran also received her. Most notably, she was also received by American President Nixon, which played a positive role in breaking the cold war relationship between the United States and the former Soviet Union.

However, Korbut lived a very unhappy life in the second half of his life. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, her family moved to America. Later, she divorced her husband Bortkevich and now lives with her son.
