Daniela Silivas (ROM) - Worlds 1989 - Floor Exercise Final

[@sqlcomp]

I miss the days of artistry. Daniela was simply the BEST!

[@Boban1611]

Those times were the best and we can always view them here.... and enjoy those precious moments! 💚😏😃

And when people could actually stick their landings!!!!

[@jaylenc4946]

@@Patrick.V.that’s because they were allowed to “colllege stick” unlike nowadays.

[@MrMelodifestivalen]

you got that right!!!

Superba,Daniela Silivas. Felicitări!❤

[@MagicalMukhina]

What an incredible gymnast she was. She literally had it all - I absolutely love everything about her. Thank You for posting.

[@Boban1611]

Everybody thought she was 19 back then... although her real age was 17, which was revealed somewhere in the beginning of the new millennium. So sad, that she did not continue her career for another 2 years.... maybe even through to Barcelona.

[@pappysprite]

This is what I love so much about gymnastics- the artistry more so than the crazy tumbling pass. Her leaps, turns, level of dance is exceptional in every way.

[@JohnnySmith-to7jw]

The songs are: "Aseară vântul bătea" (first part of the exercise) + "Ciuleandra" (second part of the exericse ), singer: Maria Tănase (The biggest singer of Romania .... She is considered "Edith Piaf" of Romania :D ) ;) ...Both songs are traditional romanian songs and are part of Romanian cultural heritage .... "Ciuleandra" is also a traditional romanian dance ... a nice reprezentation of the dance you can see it in the film with the same name "Ciuleandra" (on youtube you cand see the dance in the video: "Secvență din filmul „Ciuleandra” (1985)").

Wow - Thank you so much!

[@rbm8122]

Thanks for sharing these cultural aspects!

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Wow! Thank you for all of the information and background about Daniela's floor music! It is lovely that she used Romanian music for the final floor routine of her stellar competitive career! ✨️💖💖💖✨️

Fenomenala!❤ Daniela Silivas❤ Felicitari !❤

Ca un vis, draga noastră Daniela Silivas!🥰

[@nicolajones8827]

I loved her floor routines, full of originality

[@Boban1611]

My favorite routine from Daniela Silivas was the Floor Exercise back in 1987 at the Europeans in Moscow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXJeqV5qcZ8rJo

Brilliant

[@Boban1611]

Her second pass was a bit.... off the course... but it was a good routine.... 🤗

[@AdinaStama]

La mejor gimnasta!

[@oli3310]

Minunată!!!farà egal❤

[@qian4413]

Pity I can't find a video of her compulsory floor from 1989. I bet it was gorgeous

[@Boban1611]

I wished I could provide that routine, but I don't have any footage from the 1989 Worlds Compulsory rounds at all. 😖

[@DanielReid88]

She’s one of the best of all time! Artistry and tumbling skills that could match today’s difficulty… what a pioneer!

[@Marketoromagnolo]

underved 10, this routine was half difficoult of her own routine on 87 ( where shre really deserved 10)and still scored 10, with a break on her second line and bad landing on her double tuck. All 10's by Silivas in 89 were very generous

[@Boban1611]

The second pass was really bad.... it was almost like she was looking for the exit. But I really think the judges knew, this was the last time for Daniela and they bowed before her, giving her a nice farewell. She was a big star back then....

[@Marketoromagnolo]

@@Boban1611 anyway both her and Bogi had horrible routines, Dudnyk Bontas or Laschenkova deserved gold on floor

I miss the days where Romania was the best off the best !!!

[@Boban1611]

I totally agree with you. I was shocked, to say the least, when I read the results from the last Olympic Games. What happened? The world seems to be upside down....

[@SDoesNotKnow]

What's this music?

[@Boban1611]

I've tried to find it out... with no success so far....

[@zuzanasemkova2809]

Try Ciuleandra, romanian folk song, maybe instruments are different.

Mit 19...Eine ältere Dame. Dieser Mann ist albern lol

[@Boban1611]

Naja... das war eben eine andere Zeit. Turnerinnen traten in der Regel vom Sport zurück, sobald sie sich den '20-ern' näherten. Das ist mit heute nicht mehr vergleichbar denke ich - die Entwicklung der Geräte macht es möglich. In den 80er Jahren waren Turnerinnen jenseits der 19 eine absolute Ausnahmeerscheinung: so wie Natalja Yurtchenko, Ecaterina Szabo, Maxi Gnauck, aber auch Daniela Silivas und Elena Shoushounova - letztere wurde in einer Zeitschrift mit 19 Jahren als 'Turn-Oma' betitelt. Das 'lustige' an der Aussage in diesem Video war: Daniela Silivas gab in einem Interview um die 2000er Jahre zu, dass ihr Alter gefälscht war. Man hatte sie zwei Jahre älter gemacht, damit sie an den Weltmeisterschaften in 1985 teilnehmen konnte. In Wirklichkeit war sie zu dem Zeitpunkt 13 Jahre alt gewesen... das bedeutet bei der WM 1987 war sie nicht eine 19-jährige 'ältere Dame' sondern eine 17-jährige hoch dekorierte Turnerin und Olympiasiegerin. 😎🤣🤗

[@MarleenSchönfeld]

Wenn man bedenkt das das sie keine 19 sondern 17 Jahre alt war. 😂 Aber recht hat er schon. Irgendwann ist das Alter erreicht den jüngeren Platz zu machen. Je älter sie werden umso leistungsfähiger sind sie leider nicht mehr. Jelena Schuchonowa ist auch mit 19 in "Rente" gegangenen.

[@Boban1611]

@@MarleenSchönfeld Da hast Du recht. Man muss allerdings auch sagen, mit der Weiterentwicklung der Geräte (ich sage nur: Tumbling am Boden) hat sich auch die Altergrenze massiv nach oben verschoben. Ich denke damals waren die Trainingsumstände total anders. Der Körper war einfach durch, weil man wirklich richtigen Einsatz zeigen musste, um Höchstschwierigkeiten zu generieren. Das ist heute nicht mehr so. Die Geräte katapultieren ja einen förmlich durch die Luft. Ich habe übrigens gelesen, dass Elena Shoushounova weiter machen wollte, aber der Verband der UdSSR wollte ihr keine 2 Monate geben, um sich nach den Olympischen Spielen zu erholen. Für sie war das nächste Ziel die WM in Stuttgart gewesen. Als der Verband 'Njet' sagte, trat sie vom Leistungssport komplett zurück. Ich vermisse sie....
