I watched this live. Everyone knew who Mary Lou Retton was. She earned it! I pray for her condition now…may she heal and bless us with that smile again. She is an amazing person!

She was injured, so aerial was a risk? She was such a wonderful gymnast. By now, an Icon in US gymnastics history.

It must have been hard to perform and stay concentrated while the colleague is doing her floor show (with piano) in the background.😢 What an admirable gymnast, mixing strength, grace and calmness in such an unrivalled fashion. Magnificent woman, too.

At the time she seemed to me (I was a little boy) like an oldish and a little overweight person. Today, so 50 years later I realize how much she conveyed wonderful youth and no less grace.

Who cares Russia boycotted. She still was the 1st American gymnast to earn perfect 10s and win gold. Maybe Ekaterina was better but not then

Если бы онс была первым номером в сборной,она бы взяла 1 место. В фильме ,,Новенькая" она техничнее и интереснее Турищевой. Латынина много навредила,будучи старшим тренером.

I actually believe that Lyudmila had more of a heart than Korbut. Korbut’s smile felt choreographed. Lyudmila’s when you saw it, you knew it was real.

I know it wasn't as important back then to reach a full 180 degree spit in split jumps, but those are so far from a split that I'm thinking they had to be deductions if performed that way in competition.

Mary Lou Retton has the heart of a champion and the smile of true inner beauty. I remember watching this live in 1984. I was so proud of her that night. Now, 40 years later, I'm still proud of what she did. Now, Mary Lou Retton is in another more serious battle, a battle against pneumonia and a fight for her life. You can win this fight Mary Lou. I know you can do it. You will win this fight.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
