History on Instagram: "The Dead Loop is one of the most dangerous gymnastics tricks ever performed. Belarusian gymnast Olga Korbut, known as "The Sparrow of Minsk," first executed it at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Despite her flawless execution, which earned her a score of 9.8/10, the trick was banned the same year due to its life-threatening risks. Korbut's move has since become a legendary moment in gymnastics history, showcasing her extraordinary skill and finesse. #olympics #history"
