The Korbut flip is a gymnastics move named after the famous gymnast Olga Korbut, who first performed it in the 1972 Olympics. This skill involves a backward somersault off the uneven bars, where the gymnast flips over the bar and lands back on it. It showcases both agility and strength, making it a crowd favorite. This move is considered a significant innovation in gymnastics, as it combines elements of acrobatics and artistry. The Korbut flip has since become a standard element in competitive routines, influencing how gymnasts approach their performances on the bars.
