Nelli Kim's score in the floor comp. was 9.90 (not 9.80). Pity that Zakharova scored only 9.75 in the vault optional. She was supposed to be in the vault final and was the last one to compete. And yes, Nelli's vault should have been a 9.80,
Old post but someone on GGMB said the layed out Tsuk was devalued prior to the 1980 Olympics. It makes no sense since imo Davidova's Korbut vaults look much easier with no salto flights. It's the same reason Nadia could score no higher than 9.75 or 9.80 on her own layed out Tsuk vaults.
Technically 2. 4 of the women are Russian (Davidova, Filatova, Naimushina, Shaposhnikova). Nelli Kim is a Kazakh, and Stella Zakharova is Ukrainian. Maria Filatova was born in Leninsk-Kuznetsky, (Siberia) Russia, Yelena Davidova was born in Moscow, Russia, Nelli Kim was born in Chimkent, Kazakhstan, Yelena Naimushina was born in Krasnoyarsk, (Siberia) Russia, Natalia Shaposhnikova was born in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, Stella Zakharova was born in Odessa, Ukraine.
Compared to Filatova and Shaposhnikova in compulsory beam I think Nelli Kim was overscored. She didn't have the same style or flow as they did. She was much more methodical, technical not as elegant. Her routine looked paint by numbers compared to Maria and Natalia.
Nothing is better than the Soviets' flexibility, extension, and virtuosity!!!
Great video!!!... I wish I'd seen it sooner!
I miss Elena Mukhina in those olympics 😭😭❤
She would def have been the champion 😓
I would have loved to see Maria Filatova in the aa final
Seen these videos of the "old" gymnastics makes me see how poor the girls are today.
And by the way, I wish the image was better!
Thank you very much!
I think the date of the Team Final is July 23rd 1980, but I'm not that sure.

Nelli was born in Tadzhikistan, trained in Kazakhstan.
Davydova was born in Voronezh.
Ešte povinné cviky na podlahe bez pružín !
On the other hand Filatova and/or Davidova should have been in floor finals over Kim.

faeryquene I do not Think so, Nelly Kim has a high level of tecnique, her movemets are very clean and she has grace and elegance.
@@luisaleon2401 I agree , but the beam was never her strongest apparatus
Ah, okay. Yeah, that doesn't make sense, but that's gymnastics scoring for you. ;-) Thanks for the info!
