Gymnastics fans from around the world want to see complete coverage of Moscow 1980 and Mexico City 1968. In the same way you presented Munich 1972. Please include Vera Caslavska's silent protest on the podium and the scoring delay of Nadia's last routine!
It's a shame we'll never see again a routine with elegance, rhythm and great artistry as Khrabrova's. Needles to say what a superb routine was Vodenitcharova's... She deserved a medal in the final. The routines from the new generations are just tumbling and no music-dance elements synchronicity. What a delight to watch this great routines again.
Very nice routines. My personal favorite was the third gymnast, Evelina Raikova. Not only did she have difficult tumbling passes, but she sold that choreography with a sass that you just don’t see nowadays. Her smile at the end of the routine was very genuine as well, not just put on for the judges.
This team was so robbed of bronze. Brilliant rotation, and group of athletes. Can still remember watching these routines in person nearly 40 years later. Great memories.
@@darkhawkx8it was really the fight between the U.S and Bulgarians both made mistakes floor and U.S beam. The East Germans should’ve never medaled they did it dirty by doping. But it was probably to sealed the dominance of eastern bloc. The Soviets had a very strong team and Olympics one last glory for their motherland between the Romanians.
@@julielabelle2907 I really don’t think the East German gymnastics women’s team doped. Other sports yes. But not women’s gymnastics. I do believe, though that Bulgaria or the United States truly deserved the bronze medal.
I imagine with gymnasts like Listunova and Komova have had space in their routine to fully express their artistry on floor. Instead of being forced by the code of points to do one element after the other.
Spectacular tumbling mixed with fascinating dance and choreography! The judges were too severe considering the originality and degree of difficulty in these routines. Diana Dudeva's frustation speaks volumes! Everybody knows BULGARIA should have won the team BRONZE MEDAL. They were in the first rotation of compulsories and the next to last for optionals (meaning they received lower scores as the judges exercise "restraint" in their marks). The opening Bolero routine was so enthralling and difficult. The out of bounds does not justify the ridiculous 9.600! Ivelina Raykova's Spanish number was better in my opinion than Svetlana Boguinskaya, yet received a subpar score! I wish Diana Dudeva would have unveiled a new routine (it was stellar but still this is the Olympics).
All the scoring in these years was completely corrupted. Barring a fall, all winners were predetermined by politics in the Federation. For example, the judges gifted a 10.0 to the East Germans to help them up in the medal counts.
Creepy coach. But what a performance. I think even though it was not perfect, it was amazing choreo. You could see they were giving it everything they had
I really liked Vodenitcharova. A great talent! Bulgaria used to be a fantastic gymnastics nation. They produced the best rhythmic gymnasts too! What happened to Bulgaria?
They’re rebuilding their program currently, but their future is bright! They have some promising juniors, as well as Valentina Georgieva who is the current European silver medalist on vault, and a 2024 Olympic finalist on the event.
He needed to be in full uniform and refrain from all the "massaging". Even if he was a physical therapist or team member, his actions were inappropriate!
Three gymnasts in a row with Double Layouts...WOW!! And I never liked the fact that only the Top 4 teams after Compulsories got to compete in the final group of the Team Finals. There should have been the Top 6 teams (each team would have 2 byes and sit out two different rotations). I wonder where the scores would have been had Bulgaria been able to compete in the final group. Hm... Boriana Stoyanova was scored WAY TOO HIGH considering that she completely messed up her first two tumbling runs. And I was so happy that Diana Doudeva won the Bronze medal in the Floor Exercise finals, but SHAME on NBC for not showing her routine during their broadcast. They showed Phoebe Mills' routine...WHOOPIE!!!
You can tell Boriana Stoyanova was devastated with her fall. She was poised to make finals and be competitive in the all-around. They deducted the half point for the fall. Her dance and choreography were on point and she stayed on track with her tumbling, so 9.425 was fine. In any case, it was dropped as the lowest score. As for Phoebe Mills and her Addams family number - no pathos or Wednesday Addams gloom, she was like a perky cheerleader, sigh!
@@gaelgarciabernal2434 You'll see from her routine earlier in 1988 at the European Championships that her middle tumbling run was supposed to continue after the punch front into consecutive back handsprings into a double twist. But she landed that punch front too forward and it interupted her momentum. That in turn caused her to do ad lib choreography. So, 9.425 was too high.
Gymnastics need to go back to routines like this, full of tumbles and expressive dance instead of what there is today a few tumbles and not much dance let alone expression
As a Bulgarian, I'm proud of what this team did. Also, I don't know who the creepy guy in the tank top was who was hugging, touching and picking them up but it was sleazy AF. I guess normal for 1988. And it's a shame they made them wear the big communist coat of arms on their shoulders.

She would have had bronze had the new life rules for finals been I effect for 1988.
The best bulgarian team all time, but the score are injustice, they deserver more , they were amazing😮😮
Time to appreciate Bulgarian gymnastics finally

She had great difficulty for 1988. She had more difficulty than the finals routine of gold medalist Silivas and silver medalist Boginskaya.
Wonderful rotation!❤

When Bulgaria was incredible, they deserved more…
totally underscored, the team deserved bronz and gold and silver on floor with dudeva and videnicharova
the truth

Dudeva super artistic & great tumbling

So much admiration and fun than these days! it's something completely different!
Bulgaria deserved the bronze.
(09:40) Delyana Vodenicharova does a TRIPPLE looking like a double twist. Incredible to see again and again, even in the slow motions :-)
Creepy coach. But what a performance. I think even though it was not perfect, it was amazing choreo. You could see they were giving it everything they had
Wicked creepy, the girls don’t like him either.
it was 35 years ago... back then was not creepy. now we have perverts everywhere...

So underrated
Отличное выступление Болгарии.
Is that a member of the Bulgarian Men's gymnastics team down there with them?
He needed to be in full uniform and refrain from all the "massaging". Even if he was a physical therapist or team member, his actions were inappropriate!
I believe he is Hbrabrina's father.

Големи машинки 💗!
جيد جدآ
9.60 for Khrabrova??? She deserved a 9.80 by 1988 standards. She was robbed.
At least one foot, if not two, were out of bounds on the second tumbling pass
