Another perfect routine by an older, significantly taller Nadia (compared to 76). Gymnastics is divided into a pre-Nadia era dominated by the Soviet Union, and the post-Nadia era which followed the 76 Olympics and saw gymnastics becoming one of the most popular Olympic sports as young girls in Europe and USA, inspired by Nadia's perfect performances, joined newly formed gymnastic academies across the USA and western Europe. Before anyone rushes to compare this performance to recent routines, keep in mind that this is the compulsory routine that all gymnasts had to perform on first day of team competition and event qualification. Difficulty level is the same for all gymnasts so scoring here is focused on technique, form, and execution and the score received will carry over to all finals. In addition, the beam itself was different than today's apparatus - it was not sprung to help with tumbles as it is today and had no leather or suede cover to prevent slipperiness.
@@marmota1425 This was a compulsory beam routine from the preliminaries. The exercise was the same for all the gymnasts. The judges judged the execution of the compulsory elements and not the difficulty.
I was 8 years old when Nadia took the Olympics in Montreal by storm. Back then we did'nt have electricity in the house and did not have a television set until about 2 or 3 years later. I still recall grade school teacher telling us stories in class about how she made Olympic history by getting perfect scores and It's only now that I'm able to watch how she did it on TH-cam. Thank you so much for posting these awesome videos!!!
@@denisejasovich9587 She did write that they didn't have electricity. But (refering to Linda) I wouldn't assume Alex Ruperto Bertillo was living in Canada back then. Could have been livving in romania for example.
Yeah it would be interesting to see both gymnastics compulsories and figure skating figures again. Both require more control and finesse and would probably make the sport better. But they wouldn’t because it makes competitions too long and isn’t as fun for the public to watch.
@@nondescriptbeing5944I don’t find gymnastics nowadays fun to be watch, it’s all jumps and tumbling with no artistic expression and no elegance or class

I was born in late 1978, so by the time i was old enough to appreciate gymnastics, Nadia's carrer was over, but she was my inspiration for becoming a gymnast. I must have watched a show on her or reruns of her in the Olympics as a 5 or 6 year old. It was like magic to me. She was so incredible! I wanted to be just like Nadia. She inspired so many people just like me. In my opinion this woman is the GOAT.
Comaneci, Korbut and Khorkina had a level of skill and elegance you just cannot find nowadays, so true. I find this sport boring to watch nowadays and feel like something is missing.
Unlike Montreal crowd who adored Nadia, just like the rest of the world, the Moscow crowd were very hostile toward Nadia. At 1.04 there was someone from the crowd who shouted: Fall !(in Russian) and others laughed. No wonder Nadia did not want to compete again in Moscow in the 1981 Worlds saying she did not feel comfortable there.
That reverse turn she does at 0:39 is actually pretty cool. Something as simple as that would be visually cool to see in any of the spins of today’s balance beam routines.
It's simple but it's flawlessly done. That's what I miss about the old compulsory routines where everyone did the same routine - you got to see who had truly mastered the techniques and who hadn't.
I remember reading about and then hearing the Russian audience yelling "fall! fall!" During Nadia's beam routine. Now we cheered for the gymnasts on the apparatus no matter what country they're from.
Nadia herself has said that that story wasn't true. The largely Soviet crowd were very respectful and cheered her on, as well as all of the other gymnasts on the floor.
@@lucatoni4509 No, it was a Bela Karolyi lie, that Nadia later refuted. She has said in interviews that the pro Soviet audience was very respectful and supportive of all of the gymnasts on the floor.
@@catalintheodor8065 *Olga Korbut was the revolution, way ahead of her time.* Many times judges saw her skills like circus. That's why 10s were impossible to the revolutionary Olga. In 1988 she became the first gymnast to be inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. Not Nadia.
Leveza. Elegância. Perfeição. Uma rainha. Uma lenda. Foi a melhor no seu tempo. Bailava na trave.Será sempre lembrada. Nota dez na sua época. Hoje as ginastas são técnicas, sem graciosidade.
She is my hero. There is no question Nadia is THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. The grace and beauty, the conviction. Little Miss Simone might have more gold but she is lacking femininity. She is good sorta. She pounds out her routine like she going a million miles an hour. No. Nadia is the greatest of all time.
The difference is in skill and level. This is an extremely simple routine. I can do this routine easily and I only got to level 6. Most kids under ten in competitive gymnastics could do this routine flawlessly. It’s basic and very low level. I’m sure there’s many kids who could do this routine almost identically to how she does it here. These skills we learn in level 4. Simone biles could do this routine equally when she was a little kid. Now gymnasts is much more difficult and takes ALOT more practice and skill. Simone Biles can do connected flips on the beam.. it’s a world of difference.
I wasn't even born when Nadia was a star already, but damn, such a difference between her and the tanks they call gymnasts today. The golden age of gymnastics is gone, I am afraid.
So insulting to muscular and strong girls….and I love gymnasts of this age like Urazova, Listunova, Komova, Porgras, etc. But people want girls to starve themselves for aesthetics.
@@tutubito08 si ella estuviera joven en estos tiempos sin duda tambien ganaría ahora la gimnasia solo es dar más vueltas las de ahora parecen acróbatas y cometen muchísimos errores no llegarían al 10 ni de coña pero bueno que sabes tu ? si menosprecias a Nadia no sabes nada de la gimnasia .
@@rodrigoorlandocutipainquil4399 Si fuera contemporánea con las de ahora, posiblemente no pudiera con los extremos y peligrosos estándares de hoy probablemente nadie la conocería. Nadia se ha quedado frizada en la mente de ustedes sus fanáticos y nadie los va a convencer de que ella no era nada comparándola con las gimnastas de ahora. Ya yo he visto docenas de videos de esa atleta y sabes que? Lo que hace no me emociona. Fácil y aburrido.
@@tutubito08 de que no pueda los ejercicios de hoy no lo puedes asegurar Nadia tenía mucho talento y sus movimientos eran arte puro y con 14 AÑOS 14 si fuera fácil lo hubieran hecho todas las gimnastas de esa olimpiada estás insultando a la gimnasia de esos tiempos y a Nadia ella solo jugó 2 olimpiadas y a la segunda olimpiada llegó con muchos problemas en su país seguro ni conoces su historia decir que Nadia no podría los ejercicios de ahora es una aberracion nunca hemos visto los límites de Nadia
So much elegance,grace and class in one person.What a beautiful routine she performed.Perfect timing.Always a pleasure to watch her.She had what the present day gymnasts are missing.
2 diametrically opposed styles, Simone is pure power, speed, perfection and no emotion nor feminism at all on the other hand Nadia is pure grace, artistry and poetry in motion!.Simone pose, walk and running is very masculine like and mechanical while Nadia's walk is feminine, sensual and delicate like a rose!.I might not know much about gymnastics but I know artistry and grace when I see it, that's what I see when I watch Nadia perform!!!!
You should look at Agnes Keleti. I absolutely adore Nadia, but Agnes is incredible. She's Hungarian and won her first National title in 1937, at age 16. She would've competed in the 1940 Olympics, but WW2 prevented it. She had to secretly escape to the remote countryside using false identity papers and lost years of competing in her prime. She eventually escaped the country altogether. But Agnes made it to her first Olympics in 1952 when she was 31. She won 4 medals. Like Nadia, she was groundbreaking, her control and artistry was amazing. And her record speaks for itself, I can only imagine the medals and titles she would've won had she competed all those years at the top of her game. She was still winning Olympic medals at age 35, when she took home 6 more. It's a crime she's not remembered as a gymnast. She's still alive and is 100 years old.
Well don't forget that when she achieved her perfect 10's at the 1976 Olympics she was only 14 years old, really still just a little girl. By 1980 she had turned 18, and naturally, she had grown a bit, as one would expect.
performance is absolutely perfect! However... Her routine is a lot, lot simpler than the routines that they do today. Today's gymnasts are more about athleticism. Nadia Comaneci as was more about Flo and performance and display of control
It's a compulsory routine made up of basic gymnastics skills. It's meant to be simple. The gymnasts would need to show mastery of the rudiments and Nadia was one of the very best at compulsory exercises.
EXACTLY…I just said that!!! It’s like she’s graceful and poised but she didn’t even do ONE back hand spring?! Just watch Sean Johnson perfect 10 beam performance…you can’t even compare the two! Sean Johnston does two front flips and straight into three back hand springs…That’s not even her dismount!!! Nadia was a pioneer in woman’s gymnastics but her degree of difficulty was around 1.5-2.0! Today’s is 3,4,5 points difficulty on AVERAGE!!! Johnson, Biles did 6.0 and higher!!! Come on…Nadia is just not on the same playing field as the female gymnasts have been…especially for the past 20-25 years!!!
It’s was made to be simple because that’s all that was expected from the female gymnasts at the TIME on BALANCE BEAM! Even if you look at Cathy Rigby’s performance in 1970 on beam…she’s incredible and she at least does a few front and back walkovers but she’s ALSO not doing double back flips in pike position!!! And those weren’t at compulsories!!! Yes…back handsprings and flips have been done on balance beam since 1972 but it started to get harder and much more complicated when coaches and gymnasts started adding MUCH HARDER AND HIGHER DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY in their routines! Daniela Silivas was one of the( if not very first) female gymnasts who did the first two back flips with two twists before landing on the beam!!! That move didn’t happen until Seoul in 1988!!! That’s not what Nadia is doing here and that’s not what she or ANY FEMALE gymnasts was doing on beam…at that time! It hadn’t even been tried yet until mid to late 80’s…PERIOD!!! That doesn’t mean Nadia couldn’t had done it herself but by that time she had retired!! I’m her time…gymnastics was more about fluidity and gracefulness than strength and power!!!! Today’s female gymnasts weigh WAY MORE than they did back in 70’s! Cathy Rigby weighed 84 pounds!!! Simone biles weighs 105!!! Complete difference in MUSCLE TONE!!!
Sigue impresionándome Nadia Comaneci, qué perfección, ni un titubeo. Yo de estar parada en el piso me voy chueca. Siento terror de ver la viga de equilibrio y cómo la dominan las gimnastas. Pero nadie como anadia.
Cu tot respectul pentru cea mai mare gimnastă a tuturor timpurilor, exercițiul prezentat în acest clip este unul executat ireproșabil dar de o dificultate redusa. În zilele noastre cu acest exercițiu nu ar fi impresionat cu absolut nimic. Se pare că în zilele noastre, sportul a a evoluat mult, cerințele și așteptările sunt mult mai mari. Fotbal, tenis, gimnastica și multe alte sporturi și-au ridicat ștacheta. Excepție, din păcate face boxul - singurul sport care a involuat după părerea mea. Cel puțin la "grei" categoria regină a acestei discipline. Este doar o părere personala, nu trebuie să fie și un adevăr universal. PS am urmărit ulterior și evoluția ei la bârnă din Montreal cu 4 ani înainte. Aceea într-adevăr a fost una de 10
Such a shame she couldn't repeat this perfect routine in the all-around finals. She would've defended her all-around Olympic title from 1976 had she did. I guess Nadia is human too.
Entonces Existe la Perfección, Nadia Lo hizo, Sin Dolor y sin ser Egoísta, Otra Nadia, es muy Difícil, tal vez no sea imposible, Pero sigue Siendo La Reina Larga y Buena Vida a Nadia, Gracias, muchas Gracias Nadia.
Yo la conozco recién viendo sus videos del olimpiadas del 76 y 80 ahora ,ella es grandiosa una gacela y ritmo delicada es única. Me encanta ses presentaciones 10 de diez, es lo máximo!!!
I am one of those who wondered why Simone Biles is considered the greatest I had see Comaneci again and again She does the first reverse back somersault slowly while Simone Biles does all the three in quick succession
En verdad pareciera que no hizo nada ... Ni un mortal no levanta la pierna ni hasta la mitad del cuerpo en los saltos en donde hoy casi se tocan la cabeza, otros tiempos ...
So much more difficult in her 1976 performance. I feel bad for her. She grew so much when she was allowed to take a break and eat. She is thin as a rail of course for the competition. I've read that this happens a lot when women take a break from gymnastics their bodies do what they are supposed to do....Develop into women.
Her bad time was end 1977 to middle 1978,i think she had 5 weeks to prepare for strasbourg. In 1979 for the world champs she was way thinner. For me in moscow she was just absolutely perfect. I remember i was a 13 year old boy in 1980 and cried on the 2nd day when she fell off the bars. Speaking of a life long fan hey!? I remember reading that before strasbourg she was not allowed to eat for 9 days. Well the next year she kicked everyone s ass including mukhina. To this day i still think she was better than davydova in moscow, but all the scores were politically motivated.

Simone Biles can do connected flips on the beam.. it’s a world of difference.
Nadia = perfecțiune...nu degeaba a fost notată cu 10
Pure nerve, pure cunning, pure control. There is no hesitation, no wobble at any time. That's why she got the 10, pure perfection
I wasn't even born when Nadia was a star already, but damn, such a difference between her and the tanks they call gymnasts today. The golden age of gymnastics is gone, I am afraid.
So insulting to muscular and strong girls….and I love gymnasts of this age like Urazova, Listunova, Komova, Porgras, etc. But people want girls to starve themselves for aesthetics.
Now I see why everyone talked about her 🤩
Her grace and fluidity was gorgeous
And her poise and control.
Какая грация и красота движения. Спасибо вам Надя за то что вы были и есть королевой спортивной гимнастики
А как же Елена Мухина?
The Romanian gymnastic legend 1976
Única , la mejor de todos los tiempos !
Bullsh|t! Eso que ella hacía era fácil. Hoy en día lo hace una de sexto grado sólo con entrenamiento de escuela intermedia.
@@tutubito08 si ella estuviera joven en estos tiempos sin duda tambien ganaría ahora la gimnasia solo es dar más vueltas las de ahora parecen acróbatas y cometen muchísimos errores no llegarían al 10 ni de coña pero bueno que sabes tu ? si menosprecias a Nadia no sabes nada de la gimnasia .
@@rodrigoorlandocutipainquil4399 Si fuera contemporánea con las de ahora, posiblemente no pudiera con los extremos y peligrosos estándares de hoy probablemente nadie la conocería. Nadia se ha quedado frizada en la mente de ustedes sus fanáticos y nadie los va a convencer de que ella no era nada comparándola con las gimnastas de ahora. Ya yo he visto docenas de videos de esa atleta y sabes que? Lo que hace no me emociona. Fácil y aburrido.
@@tutubito08 de que no pueda los ejercicios de hoy no lo puedes asegurar Nadia tenía mucho talento y sus movimientos eran arte puro y con 14 AÑOS 14 si fuera fácil lo hubieran hecho todas las gimnastas de esa olimpiada estás insultando a la gimnasia de esos tiempos y a Nadia ella solo jugó 2 olimpiadas y a la segunda olimpiada llegó con muchos problemas en su país seguro ni conoces su historia decir que Nadia no podría los ejercicios de ahora es una aberracion nunca hemos visto los límites de Nadia
@@rodrigoorlandocutipainquil4399 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
I ❤️ Nadia . She's spectacular and amazing
Che eleganza..sembra che voli sugli attrezzi! Fantastica
she is the best ever , the talent and beauty
La mulți ani Nadia ! succes și multă sănătate
She was an absolutely incredible gymnast. Apart from Olga at Munich, I've never seen anything as amazing!
Until Simone
who? hahahahaha @@jftanner9823
Uma pena a Romênia cair tanto nas últimas olimpíadas. Era uma potência no atletismo. Até o futebol está decadente😢
Now the trainers are More demanding. But I always love Nadia Comaneci.
Nadie como Nadia🌹
I will never forget her
well i tried not to cry again, but i cant help it, she makes me like any great artist can do
So much elegance,grace and class in one person.What a beautiful routine she performed.Perfect timing.Always a pleasure to watch her.She had what the present day gymnasts are missing.
Nice to see this routine with pretty good quality!
Do you have a full coverage of this competition by any chance?
Thank you for uploading this. :)
I posle toliko godina neprevazidjea, elegantna,sigurna divna bravoo❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nadia almost single-handedly raised the interest and popularity of any Summer Olympic athletic events that aren't running.
2 diametrically opposed styles, Simone is pure power, speed, perfection and no emotion nor feminism at all on the other hand Nadia is pure grace, artistry and poetry in motion!.Simone pose, walk and running is very masculine like and mechanical while Nadia's walk is feminine, sensual and delicate like a rose!.I might not know much about gymnastics but I know artistry and grace when I see it, that's what I see when I watch Nadia perform!!!!
La grande Nadia 😍
リアルタイムで見ていました
昔も今も一番素晴らしい体操選手です
Legenda gimnasticii românești, Nadia Comăneci cea mai perfectă gimnastă a tuturor timpurilor!!! ❤❤❤
The greatest gymnast of all-time. Period.
You should look at Agnes Keleti. I absolutely adore Nadia, but Agnes is incredible. She's Hungarian and won her first National title in 1937, at age 16. She would've competed in the 1940 Olympics, but WW2 prevented it. She had to secretly escape to the remote countryside using false identity papers and lost years of competing in her prime. She eventually escaped the country altogether. But Agnes made it to her first Olympics in 1952 when she was 31. She won 4 medals. Like Nadia, she was groundbreaking, her control and artistry was amazing. And her record speaks for itself, I can only imagine the medals and titles she would've won had she competed all those years at the top of her game. She was still winning Olympic medals at age 35, when she took home 6 more. It's a crime she's not remembered as a gymnast. She's still alive and is 100 years old.
No. Nada de Period. Olga Korbut es la gimnastica más icónica y revolucionária. Y por revolucionária, no obtuvo su 10 cuándo lo merecia.
Queen ♥️
That's exactly what I thought how much taller she grew
Well don't forget that when she achieved her perfect 10's at the 1976 Olympics she was only 14 years old, really still just a little girl. By 1980 she had turned 18, and naturally, she had grown a bit, as one would expect.
I miss the ballet elements and grace of the gymnastics back then. However, the sheer difficulty of today’s gymnastics is mind-boggling.
I don't watch anymore. Before, it seemed more about grace with some wow. Now it's more jumps, etc. Same for figure skating
Me too. I miss the "dance" feel of the routines of the 60`s&70`s.
Infelizmente as ginastas de hoje não tem essa graça, a naturalidade, delicadeza no corpo e leveza de movimentos😊
I remember Nadia. gr8 moment in history I was 12 at the time 😊
She was a great gymnastics I loved watching her
She is breathtaking.
performance is absolutely perfect! However... Her routine is a lot, lot simpler than the routines that they do today. Today's gymnasts are more about athleticism. Nadia Comaneci as was more about Flo and performance and display of control
It's a compulsory routine made up of basic gymnastics skills. It's meant to be simple. The gymnasts would need to show mastery of the rudiments and Nadia was one of the very best at compulsory exercises.
@@floskate "one of"' the best??🤔 Name me someone who's better 🤷🏽♂️
Thats true...even the bodies are diferent, a lot shorter and more muscular... the need to do better than the rivals is making the sport much harder.
EXACTLY…I just said that!!! It’s like she’s graceful and poised but she didn’t even do ONE back hand spring?! Just watch Sean Johnson perfect 10 beam performance…you can’t even compare the two! Sean Johnston does two front flips and straight into three back hand springs…That’s not even her dismount!!! Nadia was a pioneer in woman’s gymnastics but her degree of difficulty was around 1.5-2.0! Today’s is 3,4,5 points difficulty on AVERAGE!!! Johnson, Biles did 6.0 and higher!!! Come on…Nadia is just not on the same playing field as the female gymnasts have been…especially for the past 20-25 years!!!
It’s was made to be simple because that’s all that was expected from the female gymnasts at the TIME on BALANCE BEAM! Even if you look at Cathy Rigby’s performance in 1970 on beam…she’s incredible and she at least does a few front and back walkovers but she’s ALSO not doing double back flips in pike position!!! And those weren’t at compulsories!!! Yes…back handsprings and flips have been done on balance beam since 1972 but it started to get harder and much more complicated when coaches and gymnasts started adding MUCH HARDER AND HIGHER DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY in their routines! Daniela Silivas was one of the( if not very first) female gymnasts who did the first two back flips with two twists before landing on the beam!!! That move didn’t happen until Seoul in 1988!!! That’s not what Nadia is doing here and that’s not what she or ANY FEMALE gymnasts was doing on beam…at that time! It hadn’t even been tried yet until mid to late 80’s…PERIOD!!! That doesn’t mean Nadia couldn’t had done it herself but by that time she had retired!! I’m her time…gymnastics was more about fluidity and gracefulness than strength and power!!!! Today’s female gymnasts weigh WAY MORE than they did back in 70’s! Cathy Rigby weighed 84 pounds!!! Simone biles weighs 105!!! Complete difference in MUSCLE TONE!!!
مش قادرة أنسى فترة الدورة دي وجمال ومهارة وتفوق نادية 👍
Incontestablement un de mes mythes❤❤❤
Perfecto. Una gimnasta increíble.
Indimenticabile. ❤️from Italy
Extraordinary 👍🏽👏🏽❤️
She is so beautiful 🥰🥰😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Величанствено !!
Um dos nomes mais conhecidos aqui no Brasil🇧🇷
Eu não entendi ela não fez nada , a apresentação parecia de uma amadora o que ouve ?
@@MrLindomar40 essa é apenas a classificatória. Tem a final da trave. Olha o vídeo abaixo.

Sigue impresionándome Nadia Comaneci, qué perfección, ni un titubeo. Yo de estar parada en el piso me voy chueca. Siento terror de ver la viga de equilibrio y cómo la dominan las gimnastas. Pero nadie como anadia.
リアル妖精🧚♀️😂❤❤❤❤❤
Cu tot respectul pentru cea mai mare gimnastă a tuturor timpurilor, exercițiul prezentat în acest clip este unul executat ireproșabil dar de o dificultate redusa. În zilele noastre cu acest exercițiu nu ar fi impresionat cu absolut nimic. Se pare că în zilele noastre, sportul a a evoluat mult, cerințele și așteptările sunt mult mai mari. Fotbal, tenis, gimnastica și multe alte sporturi și-au ridicat ștacheta. Excepție, din păcate face boxul - singurul sport care a involuat după părerea mea. Cel puțin la "grei" categoria regină a acestei discipline. Este doar o părere personala, nu trebuie să fie și un adevăr universal. PS am urmărit ulterior și evoluția ei la bârnă din Montreal cu 4 ani înainte. Aceea într-adevăr a fost una de 10
Exercitiul e din etapa "compulsory", cu elemente obligatorii simple dar care trebuiau sa fie perfect executate. Nu este exercitiul ei propriu-zis.
Wow...so elegant ❤️
The difficulty has increased manifolds now... gymnasts perform lot of hard skills now on BB.
It was a Compulsory exercise. Even in 1980 it was a basic, but very intricate routine.
They don't do compulsory exercises now, wonder how some would stack up?
She was an ARTIST!
Such a shame she couldn't repeat this perfect routine in the all-around finals. She would've defended her all-around Olympic title from 1976 had she did. I guess Nadia is human too.
@@christianlopez9807 You have no idea what you are talking about - there was no 'American' involved in the 1980 AA judging issue🙄
なんと優雅な演技なのでしょう。
この方は、そりゃ現在のほうが技も技術も格段に進歩してるんでしょうけど、そればかりじゃないことに改めて気づかされます。
She is still a stunning looking woman.
Entonces Existe la Perfección, Nadia Lo hizo, Sin Dolor y sin ser Egoísta, Otra Nadia, es muy Difícil, tal vez no sea imposible, Pero sigue Siendo La Reina Larga y Buena Vida a Nadia, Gracias, muchas Gracias Nadia.
Ca nadia comăneci nu se mai naște in lume felicitări
And now imagine that if not for the injury, then Elena Mukhina would have performed on this log
On ne peut pas l'oublier , impossible
Сегодня ее чемпионское выступление выглядит по-школьному, что не отменяет того факта, что она великий спортсмен
Yo la conozco recién viendo sus videos del olimpiadas del 76 y 80 ahora ,ella es grandiosa una gacela y ritmo delicada es única.
Me encanta ses presentaciones
10 de diez, es lo máximo!!!
I am one of those who wondered why Simone Biles is considered the greatest I had see Comaneci again and again She does the first reverse back somersault slowly while Simone Biles does all the three in quick succession
This what i have noticed I may be wrong as i am nobody to comment about gymnastics as an expert
România! 🇷🇴❤️
Совсем другая Надя, не та юная, гибкая, смелая, вызывающая восторг. Оценка 10 для этой Нади - дань ее былым победам.
Honestamente, si Nadia compitiera con esa rutina en la actualidad. No pasa a la segunda ronda
jajajjaaja Solo en tu cabeza. Ella es atemporal.
En verdad pareciera que no hizo nada ... Ni un mortal no levanta la pierna ni hasta la mitad del cuerpo en los saltos en donde hoy casi se tocan la cabeza, otros tiempos ...
@@AlexTapisevic no hizo nada.
Nadie Como Nadia, ni las Gimnastas de hoy en día la superaran
People cheered her on, even in the U. S. She was definitely talented. Tough sport also.
Stupenda!
This perform was so safe, no special, why 10? She just danced in there
Evet hiç birşey yapmadı. Ben de yapardım.
It was the compulsary routine. They had another routine I think which was more challanging…
Hah the first time i learn to watch olympics...she was my bias ..up till now she was and will always be the BEST👌🎉
A maior, melhor e mais completa ginasta que existiu. Fui privilegiada em poder assisti-la.
Assisti esperando, a cada segundo, algo extraordinário e não vi nada demais.
Naquele tempo, esses movimentos dela eram algo fora do comum.

Nadia ,Maravillosa y con mucha gracia para ejecutar sus ejercicios.
Me encanta como nadia hase suspiruetas . me parece como si estuvience vailando en un la calle tablon y javier mina,

So much more difficult in her 1976 performance. I feel bad for her. She grew so much when she was allowed to take a break and eat. She is thin as a rail of course for the competition. I've read that this happens a lot when women take a break from gymnastics their bodies do what they are supposed to do....Develop into women.
This was the compulsory or set exercise where all competitors performed the same exercise. Nadia’s optional beam routine had much more difficulty.
Her bad time was end 1977 to middle 1978,i think she had 5 weeks to prepare for strasbourg. In 1979 for the world champs she was way thinner. For me in moscow she was just absolutely perfect. I remember i was a 13 year old boy in 1980 and cried on the 2nd day when she fell off the bars. Speaking of a life long fan hey!? I remember reading that before strasbourg she was not allowed to eat for 9 days. Well the next year she kicked everyone s ass including mukhina. To this day i still think she was better than davydova in moscow, but all the scores were politically motivated.
She was also um 14 in her 76 performance
Chulada de atleta todo le salía perfecto!
Ive she knows about elena in this moment. How is it feel when you know your biggest enemy has a broken neck, 2 weeks before this.. nadia and elena ❤❤❤
Pense na leveza😍😍😍😍
Fantastika Nadia.❤❤❤🇲🇩🇲🇩🇹🇩
Superbe
Here is the REAL GOAT!!!!
