Jet from Gladiators. We would pretend to play all the games. For Hang Tough we would run but hold our arms up like we were swinging on the rings and the Atlaspheres we would run with our hands in front of us as if we were pushing the balls around.

I can’t remember which Gladiators my friends would be but I always had to be Jet and anyone wanting to join our game was never allowed to be her. Blush

@BeyondMyWitsLove this. Just out of interest do you still live somewhere remote or did you move away to the big city?

Oh no... as soon as I could I moved away. Achingly cold, endless, horizontal rain is not pleasant. Our closest cinema was in Norway. Hospital in an emergency was a helicopter flight... if the weather was good enough to fly. No newspapers on the same day, none the next day either if the boat didn't sail. Nice place to grow up "in the olden days"(as the kids tell me), but nowadays with the knowledge that you are really in a dull as ditchwater backwater, maybe not so great.

I went to a city college in the North of England and kept moving south for work. Feels so much nicer in middle class suburbia. Warm, dry and cosy.

Nadia Comaneci. I was into gymnastics!

Olga Korbut here. We played Olympics a lot. Another girl was Ludmilla Tourischeva, and we battled it out. A girl broke her ankle doing "track events" (long jump in the grass went horribly wrong). Several horse mad girls did "equestrian events".
