on the balance beam and the bars yesterday?

the world Sunday and Monday with the first three perfect gymnastics performances in Olympics history. She did it again twice yesterday with an exciting routine, including bars and a classical, dramatic performance on the hazardous balance beam.
Nelli Kim of the Soviet Union overcame Tourischeva to finish second with Tourischeva, Teodora Ungurean fourth and Olija Korb, fifth.
