Neither Shushunova nor Boguinskaya come close to Silivas in this routine. Silivas was art in motion.

[@drissfatih7131]

The Soviets were competing. Silivas was performing

[@florinpetrescu809]

They never had a chance against Silivas at this specific routine. Here, Silivas was perfection in motion

[@gilliangroundsell665]

Beautiful bring back the compulsory routines.

[@jorgebonilla2234]

Thank you for picking exactly the five gymnasts I’d want to see doing this. I like Mills and Johnson a lot and they’re terribly underrated and don’t get their dues

[@Quimlh]

Daniela Silivas gana la comparación. Sublime.

[@rodrigoalberto4171]

Silivas was one of the few romanian gymnasts that could perform dancing routines head to head with the soviets.

[@worldartgym]

100%

[@wheresbaby7783]

This is more beautiful th an any exercise today .its what we are missing real gymnastics for young girls

[@stanleygagner]

The Romanian pianist is much better than the Soviet one. It is odd that the compulsories didn't move over to recordings at the same time as the optionals.

[@anderwin7978]

Genial!!! no sabía que cada equipo tenía su pianista, es muy emocionante!

[@mmoran3]

Wow, Brandy Johnson that first tumbling run on the pike open was insane she was in the rafters. Even the crowd yelled! She had the highest tumbling of any of the girls.

[@mihaelabruma8006]

Daniela a fost pur și simplu grație in mișcare. Superb.

[@cecilianovais212]

They are all really good, but Silivas has no comparision...

[@citizenoftheworld6363]

Silivas routine was the TEXTBOOK

[@simplystreeptacular]

Shushunova and Boguinskaya were textbook.
Silivas was poetry.

[@thangvuong9196]

The tempo for the Russian pianist was really quick which really hampered the choreography for the Russian gymnasts. If you look at Daniela she by far danced the routine the best because the tempo gave the choreography a chance to flourish.

[@thesovgc]

Damn, I didn't even think of this. You would think with compulsories supposed to be judging everyone doing the same elements, they should all have the same pianist as well. Even the American pianist is better than the Soviet one 😭

[@SquirtlePower809]

Silivas MURDERED this! Absolutely 💯 a legendary moment for gymnastics

[@anderwin7978]

Silivas es otra cosita jeje!

[@alicemcfarlane9717]

Just knowing the tragedy of Shushunova makes me so sad. Did she ever have a *real* chance? Ever??? It's no wonder her life ended as unhappily as it did. 😢

[@ameliabedelia7018]

I feel for the pianist having play this piece over and over again on point. They must had finger cramps galore.

[@Jajadore]

Oh, I really like the interpretation of the American pianist! I Never saw Phoebe's compulsory fx before. It was very nice!

[@misterjonathan5643]

I've always loved Phoebe and Brandy ❤

[@ericgymfan]

can i suggest you do a 1988 compulsory bars comparison? :)

[@worldartgym]

I’ll look to see if there’s hi def footage!

[@kundun5]

I never liked Shushonovas compulsory floor. Thought she was way verscored.

[@Wrexham_AFC]

I’d love to see a low scoring compulsory floor from this year, but there doesn’t seem to be much footage out there

[@worldartgym]

You’re right. You’ll only find the major teams and the best performances. But, knowing how hard the routines were, I’m sure the weaker performances were ROUGH!

[@kenmoreSF]

Silivas got a .10 deduction for her hairstyle

[@anderwin7978]

xdd, no hay otro error que hallarle eh

[@Vermontist1]

This hairstyle was fashionable at the time. Honestly, there's nothing remarkable about it. In a few years, people will make fun of the styles that are currently fashionable.

[@hiddenmesa]

The music playing on this video for Phoebe’s routine is not the same from her routine. It’s a different pianist. That’s weird. Why was another team’s pianist dubbed over for this video? They all performed to the same music, but each team has their own pianist who all had their own style. Here is her routine with the actual music she performed to. She is on with the music in the actual video. In this video, she’s off a bit from the music. th-cam.com/video/FnxZzqEp9Hw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CXHrtAYFT6itjiDa

[@worldartgym]

Thank you but I chose a higher quality video to better view the dance

[@twebster9498]

I think Boguinskaya did this better than anyone.

[@anderwin7978]

se respeta...

[@elisaestape2068]

Boginskaia, maravillosa en este obligatorio

[@elisaestape2068]

Cabeza, manos, expresión...

[@elisaestape2068]

Las puntas de los pies, el relevé... increíble
