So glad the crowd showed her so much love - she deserved every bit of it. I’m from Scotland and was born in the late 70s. I’d never had an interest in gymnastics and where I live in the highlands there wasn’t any facility or teachers, so it’s not something I was aware of. I can certainly see why so many young girls took up gymnastics after seeing Olga and Nadia in the 70s - they were incredible and it makes my jaw drop seeing such incredible strength mixed with beauty in their moves. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Actually the best ever was Nadia Comănești with 7 perfect 10's. Olga was the one to beat.I was also born in Romania, Nadia was a total unknown,very young,very thin& had to be perfect at the height of communism with very little to practice on,not much to eat.I know,I was there when Ceaușescu shook her hand,it was the only thing we would watch on our small black&white TV. The Russians were already well known,very good and under the kind of communism that gave their athletes anything they needed. Olga&Nadia were both excellent.

Don't make things up. at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci were rivals. The Olympic Games in Montreal 1976 (in this video) were a failure for Korbut. She remained fifth in the all-around and did not qualify for the floor exercise and vault finals. On the uneven bars - the same apparatus that once showed the world the legendary “girl with pigtails” - she also took fifth place, despite her “loop”. Here she won the only silver medal for exercises on the balance beam, while Nadia Comaneci made a splash at the Olympic Games in Montreal. She became the first gymnast in history to receive the highest score at the Olympics - 10 (for her performance on the uneven bars), gold in the balance beam exercise, took bronze in the floor exercise and won the main award in artistic gymnastics - a gold medal in the absolute championship, something that never happened to Korbut.

My issue is that these coaches never wanted these girls to grow up. She was the pixie darling in 1972 with her pigtails, and here she is, obviously matured, older, and still with the pigtails. The Karolyis did the same to Nadia--childish routines and hand gestures when she should have been allowed to mature. The coaches kept training them as little girls even though their bodies had changed.
