Just beautiful I had her book in the 80s and never let it go❤❤❤❤

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.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We literally vaulted with her in the U.S. 🇺🇲

A perfect 10 ten was that . Olga had a radiant charme in all her moves .She inspired thousands . Everybody saw it .

I love this for Mary Lou and I love the love Mary Lou and Bela had for each other. What a great memory in history.

Holy Smokes!!! He was amazing!!!

When Nadia lands, she seems to float down. Nowadays, they seem to smash through the floor.

Nadia Seguridad Comanecci ☺️👏👏1976 -Mas Elegancia, Belleza, perfección

Today's routines are robotic looking. No natural grace. Watch the beam routines and you will see why.

Mary Lou will always be my favorite in gymnastics. Her personality glowed in every event. She had so much determination in all of her performances to be the best.

Olga was more skillfull than Nadia but Nadia was more graceful.

Lamento que use los colores de USA ya que fue su país de origen la que la hizo grande.

Sadly, Mary Lou and her spouse have since divorced. She also was hospitalized for pneumonia but made a full recovery. God bless you, Ms. Retton!

Honestly...she won gold because of the boycott. Had the soviets been there...we would have never heard Mary Lous name.

❤stupendi

God , save it! She only won because of the boycotting. Shannon Miller is the best American gymnast ever!!!

No

No

No

She only won because the soviets boycotted the Olympics and the games were in Los Angeles

Why do you say it was a joke?How many times did Nadia not deserve it ?

INCREIBLE...el TIEMPO parece DETENERSE en NADIA...parece que NADA a CAMBIADO❤

Never did trust the soviets Rotten bastards

❤❤😮

She is so much more pleasant to look at than Simone Biles. So graceful, elegant and light vs big muscles and heaviness of today's gymnasts.

Dwarf

Soviets were always cheating bastards

We made it WITHOUT STEROIDS. Why do you think the Soviets won all those years in a row?

She is fluent in gibberish

Esto no es un 9.90. Esto es un 10.

Me too in 84 Mary Lou and I were the same age

MARY LOU PERFORMED WITH BEAUTY AND GRACE AND POISE THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ,THANKS FOR SHOWING HER VIDEOS

So beautiful, and Nadia was so pretty! ❤

When Mary Lou competed, she looked a lot like actor Erik Estrada from CHIPs tv show. They could have been twins. I'll bet many of you never thought about that similarity.

One of the cutest athletes I've known, in 50 years of Olympics.

Our gymnastics team copied her look. We sewed white braiding around the zipper of our navy blue leotards

CORRECTION: Natalia Yurchenko is the reigning World Champion not Ecaterina Szabo 4:45

נדיה את אלופה את באמת אלופה אמא שלי ראתה אותך בגיל קטן בגיל נראה לי 12 ועכשיו עבר 40 שנה זה היה לפני 40 שנה ועכשיו אני בת שבע וחצי ואני רואה אותך את אלופה באמת את מאוד ריגשת אותי אני מקווה שראית אותי אוהבת אותך המון❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

I so remember watching her win that. I was screaming in my front room and jumping for joy.

I remember her national stardom during those olympics. She truly was America's darling. What an amazing 5.5 week recovery and comeback!

She was so good. It seemed as though she was just a little girl having fun like kids do on the beach. There was never any stress or work. It was effortless perfection.

Que hace con uniforme americano..???

And look her leotard covered her butt. Why can’t they fix the new ones to cover up more butt?

Beautiful routine

Favorite floor of all time! ❤

The stars aligned for her. Soviet Boycott, the Olympics being on American soil and she had the right performance and mental toughness that night. She wont go down as one of the greatest but she certainly is a legend. And she survived the Karolys

Bela is a self-promoter. Never cared for him.

Now in Germany they don't even know what a woman is. #bringcommunismback

Brett is such a hunk! And on top of this, he is a wonderful person too! Nadia won another perfect 10 with this one.

I adore these two! Lovely couple, beautiful family. Bless them.
