1985 not 1984

Why they picked Chusovitina (for me the less talented of urss team) and let her out

She is soooooo pretty. Even to this day, she's still gorgeous.

And according to NBC, it WAS destiny. Sorry, NBC. You were wrong…and you sucked.

My favourite floor routine of all time. Elvira was in a class all her own!

This routine was surely ahead of it's time, specially the 1½ turn and the second tumbling pass😮

0:31 "I don't think I've ever seen that move performed by a woman". Other gymnasts had done it previously and Silivas did in 1988 Olympics, in front of the broadcasting cameras.

imo this was so much better than the FX she did when she was older :(

Sensacional 🎉👏

Nadia is awesome. Love her accent.

Chubby Nadia in 1978😊

Какая красивая, артистичная дочь татарского народа. Ей и сейчас нет равных, а тогда это была сенсация

ALGUÉM sabe me dizer por onde anda essa ginasta hoje aos 49 anos e oque ela faz da vida atualmente? Obrigada a quem puder me responder.🙏

That music makes me tear up

Gnauck on compulsory vault was perfect. Ilienko on floor as well. Surprisingly, very shaky landings by Soviet girls on vault

👍😁

Love Maria

Very similar to Elvira Saadi's floor in 1974_1976

Such a shame she never made it to the Olympics, she easily could’ve won the beam title. What caused her not to go, injuries?

Interessante que eu como falante nativo de português, consigo entender muitas palavras que o narrador da tv romena fala, sem jamais ter estudado romeno.

I don’t think Olga changing coaches really had that much to do with her performance at the 76 Olympics. Between the 72 and 76 games, the Soviet Union constantly had her on the road doing non-stop exhibitions as part of this huge PR tour. She barely even had the time to be in the gym and I think if the Soviet government had allowed her to get back in the gym and focus solely on her training then she would’ve done better at those games. And honestly, even if Olga were to have gotten a perfect 10 at those games, I don’t see how she could’ve lived up to both the hype of her previous performance and that of the new kid on the block, Nadia. I mean the media had Nadia fever to the point that Olga’s own teammate Nellie Kim also scored a perfect 10 at those games and it hardly got any attention by the press. Regardless of whether or not she had the same coach, the 76 games were always going to be Nadia’s to win. Plus, a silver on beam and a team gold are still really impressive so I wouldn’t look at her performance as any sort of failure, especially considering how cutthroat it was to even make the Olympic team in the first place.

Anyone know the name of the music?

It’s called PUBERTY “when they gain that hight and weight.” And it can take a while for your body and mind to adjust to your new woman’s body. You go from being a prepubescent little GIRL to being a young WOMAN, and not just all the physical changes, hormones too. It’s not easy, and especially when they were allowed to talk to the world about “how much weight she’s gained “. No wonder she literally stopped eating, and tried to get back down to her prepubescent weight again! Did anyone even explain to her about the changes a girl has to go through to become a woman?!?

I love Olga korbut. She Is a greatest star

It's such a shame she was so inconsistent. Her dance is still unbeatable 🥰

Teodora was by far the best dancer and most expressive of all of the Romanian gymnasts of her era! She was so gifted that she was even able to overcome Geza Poszar's often bizarre choreography!

I seem to be the only one here who enjoyed the choreography. It felt like a fusion of tap dance with a floor routine and it looked fun and lively.

OMG. All I could say viewing this was "what the Fu*k"

✨🌟✨

Et la suite alors ??? C'est quand-même pas sympa de couper une vidéo comme ça

Those were the days.

A shame about the quality. It's the inverse of her gymnastics 😭

This routine is superb for its time, the floors were dead back then and its still superb in 2023. That first pass is even more difficult than majority of passes in WAG until this day. She combined grace with power, This is what you call Artistic Gymnastics! We don't give her enough recognition.

Perhaps my favourite beam worker, after Dudnik and Shaposhnikova

Beautiful! Looks like Lavinia Milosovici in 1992

Las Mejores Gimnastas que eran UNICAS, e INIGUALABLES, jamas habra otra con sus DONES Y CARACTERISTICAS Genias del Arte.

Era toda una Princesa Artistica, realmente la Mayor Gimnasta de todos los tiempos.💙💙

To bad injuries preventer her from competing in the Olympics, worlds or European cup.

Super campioana noastră. Te iubește toată România. Ești eroina noastră🌹🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇷🇴🇷🇴

No child should look this gaunt.

Poor performance

Las o că se descurcă

Pe Olga Korbut nu o laudă nimeni pentru exercițiul bun pe care l a făcut?

Nobody like Nadia. Just perfect.

Nellie Kim Korean Soviet great gymnast.

Beautiful. I miss the compulsories (but only for the top 3-5 gymnasts :) I can't watch 100 gymnasts performing the same routine.

Good job, Eugenia. Good job, dl. Leo Cosma!

She was the definition of technique to the max. She was deceptively powerful, as most soviets of that time who do extreme difficulty despite their frame.

wait WHAT? she trained with his wife? WTF? after he raped her? did wife know?

lol that aint a kolbut
