		Gienger - from regular grip, the gymnast swings backwards, releases the bar and does a ½ turn followed by a backward flip in pike position to catch facing the bar (the difference between a Gienger and a Deltchev is where the twist occurs- much like the difference between a barani and a cuervo on vault).
		Korbut - the gymnast dives backwards with straight or arched body, breifly supports herself on the beam with her hands, and then swings down to sit on the beam in straddle position.
		It is most commonly performed with one twist in each flip (full-in-full-out) but can also be done with both twists in the first or both in the last flip (double full-in or a double full-out).

		In fact, Olga Korbut was not the champion in Munich, except in terms of publicity, and in Montreal she barely ranked third on her own team.
		It was the fans in the Forum who finally sensed the injustice being done her, and on the last night of competition, when Korbut followed a disastrous performance on the bars with a beautiful 9.9 on the beam that won her a silver behind Comaneci, the longest and loudest cheers were for Olga.
		Turishcheva was not accepted as champion four years ago because she was a cool, grown woman; she only drew kind attention to herself in Montreal when she cried -finally- as she bowed her head to receive the last of her two silver medals.
