Came here after watching her give Simone Biles her gold medal at the AA medal ceremony (2023 Worlds @ Antwerp). Two amazing world and Olympic champions. As much as I love Simone, this will forever be my favorite era of gymnastics. The artistry, the music, just everything is perfect! 😍😍
The most beautiful gymnast I've seen. Many gymnasts lack rhythm, musicality and fluidity but she's just perfect. If she had wanted to she probably could've been a great ballerina as well.
Daniela floats through her tumbling passes and accentuates every single dramatic moment in the music. Just pure genius. However, I prefer Shushunova’s artistic programme.
this just sends shivers through me each time i watch it. Bogi and Shushu, as powerful as they were, their compulsory routines could NOT compete with the elegance, lightness and flow of this exercise of Silivas. she seems to have no gravity. so carefree and youthful yet so technical and focused. she had everything. this compulsory exercise rivals that of Elena Mukhinas and Lilipods, dare I say this is one of the finest compulsory routines I’ve ever witnessed. Dani knew how to sell a compulsory to the judges. and even in these exercises where the girls were doing the same sets of moves, she really sets everything apart with her style and something about her just cannot be found in the other competitors here. she is the pinnacle of ARTISTIC gymnastics. marvelous. i was wishing she won the AA gold but, her career was a memorable one that can never be forgotten.
She had absolutely everything. She had power and grace. She could really dance, she knew how to perform and she had style. Even in a compulsory routine, she has so much charisma and style that she sets it apart.
She is like a ballerina, so elegant. Everything seems effortless. And look at that smile.She is not competing she is performing and everyone is lucky to be able to see this
Poetry in motion. She epitomizes what an artistic gymnast should really be. Nowadays they’re imperfect acrobats. Bring back the artistry and the compulsories.
She pointed her toes in every single element, even the back handsprings and round off, had perfect splits on every leap and jump, floated around throughout the routine like gravity was nothing. Not to mention that exquisite layout stepout dismount. This was a TRUE perfect ten!
That was perfection. I mean real perfection. Rarely do we see splits that beautiful and complete, form that exquisite, rhythm and dance so attuned. It's important to note that comp. FX is part of the reason why Silivas won the floor title despite having a bauble in the EF. She had a compulsory routine that could not be matched.
One of the few routines that truly deserved a 10.0. This is perfection. There is not a single element that is not textbook. And the amplitude is astonishing!
Her bobble actually happened in Team Optionals when she threw the mount that bears her name to this day. I think that hurt her more in the AA Finals than it did for FX Finals (obviously as she won gold).
She was the reason I got hooked with gymnastics. First time I saw her I just couldn't take my eyes off her. Such a magnetic personality. I wished she had won the AA gold, yet I would say she should be happy with all her medals since they are a result of her hard work, dedication, and of course incredible talent.
The dislike must have been for her hedgehog hairdo. It can't possibly be a single thing about the routine. Probably the best compulsory floor routine ever.
Amazing on every level. This is what made gymnastics seem so incredible to me. Perfection of skills, flying, fluidity, control, etc. I wish composition and perfection of basics were important today. Now it's just about points and anything that doesn't yield points is omitted even to the detriment of interest, artistry and beauty. Very sad!
Amazing. There is a way to perform compulsory routines and that was it. That girl just oozed personality. She was smiling as she prepped for one of the tumbling passes. No other routine deserved a 10 more.
I can't believe I haven't posted on this video.. It's utter perfection. They should show this to anyone who wants to know why some of us loved compuslories. It's miles better than her optional floor.
I never get tired of watching her. She just has such beautiful lines and has so much grace. And she has such a great balance of dance and tumbling. To me, she was the true winner of the AA gold. I enjoy watching her so much more than Yelana Shushonova, and it seems like she lost over teeny technicalities
Este ejercicio debería ser de visionado obligatorio en todas las escuelas de gimnasia. No hay de dónde descontar...es un 10 ABSOLUTO. SIlivas flota literalmente en cada una de las diagonales y saltos. La interpretación de la música es perfecta, la plasticidad total, la amplitud insuperable, la altura increíble, Ya no hay gimnastas tan perfectas. Silivas fue en mi opinión la gimnasta más virtuosa de toda la década de los 80 y tiene para siempre un puesto de honor entre las más grandes. Ella y Comaneci las mejores de Rumanía bajo mi punto de vista, con todo lo bueno que ha dado la escuela rumana...Dobre, Szabo, Raducan, Ponor...etc,etc.
She is my favorite gymnast ever! She has a perfect execution, and on top of this her body is not overbuilt but very graceful, and her movements look like a rhythmic gymnast but with the acrobacias of artistic gymnastics
she was a good gymnast, in my opinion the best in every events... had a good and elegant moviments and she was a great dancer and excelent tecnique... and a great love for gymnastcs...
Those are organic and artistic movements for real. Refined and elegant, the real art of gymnastics. Simone Biles may be outstanding, but she do everything with x8 speed and robot like movements. She'll never have this level of delicacy and elegance.
Qué hermosura, por favor😍. Creía que lo más perfecto que había visto era Nadia, Olga Korbut y Elena Mukhina pero esto lo superó👏👏👏👏👏👏. Es hermosa Daniela. ¡Un millón de 10 para esta gimnasta insuperable!💐
A joy to watch! Such beautiful gymanstics, she looks like she's floating in the air. I've never seen another like her, and to top it off ends it with a beautiful smile at the end. Amazing! 👌💜💐
This performance by her is absolutely all alone in its greatness. No one could ever take anything away from the purity, joy, grace and athletic excellence of this display.
Such joy watching this routine. fluidity of her movements is seamless. she exudes grace and sweetness. To me she looks light-hearted and joyous, luring us into the magic of her every movements. Purely eternal.
Sublime ARTISTIQUE ORGANIQUE VIVANT Toute la beauté de la vraie Gymnastique ARTISTIQUE avec un grand A absolument magnifique ça touche le cœur tant de beauté c'est si naturel L'opposé total de la Gymnastique actuelle
Some kind of peter pan/ tinkerball shit going on right here. Out of this world, just like a fairy. 🧚🏻♂️ The most amazing and gracious performance i have ever seen. ❤
You cannot compare today's gymnasts with those from the 70s-early 90s (especially mid 70s - 80s). Different set of rules & expectations. Simone Biles is an excellent gymnasts but when you review gymnasts such as this from a different era, it is almost an insult to say Simone (or any gymnast within the last 20 years) is the "GOAT." Not only are the uneven bars different, some skills banned but most of the grace is gone. And on the beam since 2008, most gymnasts will not dare to mount in a unique or awesome way. Daniela Silivas not only has the skills but the fluidity & grace & beauty exudes through her. Most gymnasts today can do the big flips but due to many reasons such as the new point system & cracking down on complex rotations or banning some skills for being too "risky" the uniqueness is gone, the grace is lacking & its sometimes hard to tell some of the gymnasts' routines apart.
completely agree with you...nowadays gymnast are like circus actors, they haven't grace and beauty like girls from mid 70s to mid 90s. When I watch SImone (only has a power with lack of grace, style and beauty in her routines) and for example Silivas or Shushunova you can clearly see the difference between them.
Thats what we call evolving ,if the rules are the same ,now and then ,then the rotine also similar like used to ,so the FIG who nade it different actualy ,not the gymnast
Since I saw this compulsory routin, I cant stop whatching It. Now a days, new gimnasts make incredible acrobatic routins but without quality and Beauty. Sorry Simone.
Agreed. I'm all for accepting bodies of all shapes and sizes, but to see Aly Raisman heave herself into the air to execute a leap is sad compared to this. We can thank the new Code of Points for the emphasis on difficulty and a complete lack of artistry anymore. A gymnast can fall during her floor routine and still be Olympic champion if it's "difficult enough." Pfft.
We were so lucky to see and know the dreamlike performance. She was at her best on that prime stage. It is the longest 90 seconds masterpiece I've ever seen.
Standing on the shoulders of giants is a much referred to phrase. Why? because modern gymnasts don't come out of the box with anything new. Each generation builds on the learning and hard effort of those who came before. There was a paradigm shift in the 70's and 80's from Korbut to Silivas which is why this particular generation so captivated audiences worldwide in a way never repeated. In my humble opinion Daniele was the most elegant.
The height thwy get with the single tuck layout at the end of the first tumbl8ng run must be the closest you csn get to flying. Sute, they can all do doubles, but the single sommies look amazing for rheir height and simplicity 😍😍😍
Daniela was simply flying
Came here after watching her give Simone Biles her gold medal at the AA medal ceremony (2023 Worlds @ Antwerp). Two amazing world and Olympic champions. As much as I love Simone, this will forever be my favorite era of gymnastics. The artistry, the music, just everything is perfect! 😍😍
I agree
Yes. It was about raw power but grace, elegance and technique.
Muy completa la gimnasia artística de Rumania, Rusia.
Never seen something more elegant than this,seems she's flying...
She's a flying prima ballerina, amazingly beautiful and graceful. Pure perfection, sport and art at theirs best.
So true...
She is from Romania 💪💪💪💪💪💪
She is perfection. This is so much better than any of the gymnastics today
This two-and-a-half minutes in 1988 is worth more than the whole Olympics in 2021
yesss
I couldn't agree more!!!
You guys are always weird downplaying modern gymnastics
@@conmarko Yes!
@@josephqualtier961 as they should be. Nowadays, they are not innovative and creative anymore. Just add one or half twist and call it a day.
She literally FLOATS
She literally floats on the air. Gorgeous

Even more beautiful than Nadia?

@Swoopiify musicality? She was not playing any instruments. She was dancing and gymnastiking.

You've perfectly captured the essence of who she was
Her form and style here is really unmatched.
Something about this routine and her performance just is the epitome of women’s gymnastics. Beauty, power, and grace all in one😊
Now womens gymnastics looks more like mens
The best compulsory floor exercise ever done in gymnastics. Full stop.
I have never seen before such a perfect interpretation of the music . Amazing performance, Daniela Silivas is really one of the greatest gymnasts
Poetry in motion. She epitomizes what an artistic gymnast should really be. Nowadays they’re imperfect acrobats. Bring back the artistry and the compulsories.
Beautiful!
how gracious she was... like a feather dancing in the air
She floats, as if she’s flying 🕊️in mid air ❤amazing 😮
Que armonía cada movimiento con su cuerpo. Que trabajo más limpio. Hermosa representación. Un deleite verla.
Omg! Bring the dance back to the gymnastics!
The real definition of number 10
She is better than the actual gymnastas. Her movementas are so elegant, soft, and perfect.
there are no words to describe this ! my favorite gymnast ever !
Superba❤ Daniela Silivas!❤ Fenomen❤

This was a TRUE perfect ten!
One of those few performances that even the wannabe gymnastics fans can't say it's not a 10.
@@annapavfan5314 It is too bad they gave out so many shit 10s by 88 since it cheapened the REAL 10s like this one.
@@grantdesjardins764 I agree. Of the 85-88 cycle this was the perfect example of how this routine was meant to be executed.
She could have been a prima ballerina if not a proffesional gymnast.
One of THE most perfect pieces of gymnastics. EVER. By anyone.
She deserved the perfect 10 for her perfect rendition.. immaculate !
There is no other 10 more deserved than this. Perfect from the beginning to the end. No discussion!
That was perfection. I mean real perfection. Rarely do we see splits that beautiful and complete, form that exquisite, rhythm and dance so attuned. It's important to note that comp.

The perfect masterpiece of the textbook of perfection pieces! Mesmerising 🎉

Her lines are incredible! The fluidity of her movement is impeccable; her limbs seem to go on forever
Well said!
How could anyone dislike this?
They hate those 80s hairstyles. 🤪
The dislike must have been for her hedgehog hairdo. It can't possibly be a single thing about the routine. Probably the best compulsory floor routine ever.
I am asking myself the same question...
By far, one of the MOST beautiful and GRACEFUL gymnasts EVER!!
I remember watching her performances back then. I was mesmerized. 35 years later and they still have the same effect on me.
You can only appreciate the years of hard work that went in to produce such masterpiece. Incredible.
every time i need to see perfection i play this video
same. i do also when i want to dope my brain. wonderfully it has no withdrawal effect.
Amazing on every level. This is what made gymnastics seem so incredible to me. Perfection of skills, flying, fluidity, control, etc. I wish composition and perfection of basics were important today. Now it's just about points and anything that doesn't yield points is omitted even to the detriment of interest, artistry and beauty. Very sad!
The best floor exercise of all times
Sublime. Simply the greatest compulsory floor routine EVER imo. I would have given this a 40.00 if I could.
sillivas uses every beat of the song matching ih her exersice. superb

Of course it does. It is Silivas' compulsories, the epitome of elegance.
I remember her.. what a angel!
Amazing beautiful simple gymnastics and proper dance elements to show further agility and amplitude.

Amazing qualities! I’ve never seen something like this performed before or after her time.

So beautiful, is like she has wires or gravity really like Daniela and releases a little her pull :)
