The "Dead Loop" of Olga Korbut, also known as the Korbut Flip, was a daring gymnastics move performed by the Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut at the 1972 Munich Olympics. This maneuver involved Korbut standing on the high bar, performing a backflip, and then regrasping the bar. It was a display of incredible skill and athleticism, showcasing Korbut's prowess as a gymnast.
However, the Dead Loop was banned shortly after the 1972 Olympics due to its high level of danger. The move required precise timing and execution, and a slight miscalculation could result in severe injury or even death. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) decided to ban the Dead Loop to prioritize the safety of gymnasts.
Despite its ban, the Dead Loop remains a significant moment in Olympic history and is remembered for Olga Korbut's exceptional performance.
When Volvo invented the three-point seatbelt in 1959, they made the patent free for all competitors to use in order to save lives because it had more value as a free life-saving tool than something to profit from.

I live on Macklin Road, Salisbury with my husband and two young children, Connie (5) and William (2), who go to the local primary school and the local nursery respectively. I work for a charity which supports victims of stalking and harassment, and I’m also the Salisbury City Councillor for St Paul’s Ward. I am standing as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Salisbury and South Wiltshire, and I am asking for your vote so that I can represent you in parliament and to campaign for policies which can deliver a fair deal for us all.
My polling station. I’ve voted here many times before and am looking forward to coming here again to vote for the @LibDems on Thursday. Don’t forget your ID! #GE2024
I am really proud to have received the backing of VoteClimate as the strongest vote for the climate in Salisbury.
The Tories have used the climate as part of their culture wars campaign, rowing back on many of their commitments to achieve a cleaner, more sustainable UK. The work to put that right begins on 5th July.

Five years ago I stood to be your MP. Since then, I have worked tirelessly as one of the leaders of Salisbury City Council, and I want to continue to support local people by being our community MP. I want this opportunity to serve you. Salisbury is my home. My family settled here almost 20 years ago after my father’s retirement from the military; I was married in St Osmund’s Church, and my children were born in Salisbury District Hospital. I know and understand Salisbury. I can be an effective community champion and a strong local voice in Westminster. I would be grateful for your vote on 4th July.
My party, the @libdems, has a bold, ambitious, fully-costed plan to ensure we all get a fair deal. We will deliver a fair and functioning health system, ensuring you and your family can get a GP appointment within a week, or 24 hours if it’s urgent. We have committed to providing free personal care for elderly and disabled people, and reforming the NHS dental contract, aiming to get NHS dentists back in Salisbury. Locally, I want to build a network of community health hubs so people can access support on their doorstep.
