At the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Turischeva was a medal favorite, but found herself overshadowed by the sudden popularity of her telegenic compatriot Olga Korbut.

Uneven bars are collapsing. Turischeva salutes the judges

In 1980, British journalist David Hunn wrote of Turischeva, "(she) never had the cheek of some of her rivals, but for serenity she was supreme." ^[1] Indeed, she was renowned for her cool head in competition. In one of Tourischeva's most well-known performances, the 1975 World Cup at Wembley Stadium in London, all people were amazed by the loud sound of the broken metal hook, which held support cables. The uneven bars literally fell apart and crashed to the ground at the end of her routine after she completed her dismount. Turischeva saluted the judges, and calmly walked off the podium without even turning around to look at the apparatus. She went on to win the all-around and every single event final gold. After many years she said, that at that moment she remembered only one thing - she must complete her routine and "stick it". ^[2] Her trainer Vladislav Rastorotsky said about her: "Ludmilla would fight to death in any situation". ^[3] 1980 (MCMLXXX) was a leap year starting on Tuesday. ... 1975 (MCMLXXV) was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1975 calendar). ...
