Introducing the Cold War Chronicles, Gymnastika Edition
The Best of the Best Against, Well the Best of Our Best
We all sat through history class and learned about the cold war. If you remember anything, then you’ll know that sports provided the perfect opportunity for these battling political systems to duke it out in the public eye. Nations, especially the communist ones, thought that by winning sports medals, they could prove the superiority of their system.
So that’s why I’ve decided to start a series called the “Cold War Chronicles”, where I will compare and pit gymnasts from communist and former communist states (ie Russia, USSR, Romania) against their American counterparts. I warn you now, this may be brutal.
Now I’m not a supporter of war, but I enjoy a little competition as much as the next guy, so a little cold war gymnastics drama is always good fun.
Now get ready for a Soviet smackdown!
