Because of gravity

[@picardythirds]

Because it wasn't perfect. In today's scoring system the routine would have started out with a higher difficulty score to go with execution but in those days most gymnasts would be docked too many points for hard moves done imperfectly so they would opt for easier skills to perfect.

[@theafrican3752]

Olga manipulated the judges well by acting like she botched her first routine (in a group competition), releasing the waterworks on the bench, and then showing off her impeccable skills in the solo competition. I can only imagine how much manipulation her husband (later) went through.

Very true. Don't get me wrong I like Nadia, the way she did handstands on the bar was great but despite people saying her bars was original it wasn't really. The radochla and full turn after the salto had been done before Caslavska used both radochla and full turns. The Comaneci is just another version of the Janz. Nadia was not the first person to do a front salto from high bar to high bar despite her claim that she was. Janz did, Jaeger did with differences in take off admittedly and most recently Elena Davydova admitted she was the first to do the Comaneci salto from a different direction at a soviet competition in 1975

I can’t decide which gymnasts I like the best. I love the grace in the older gymnasts such as Nadia Comaneci, but I also love the power and strength of the newer gymnasts like Simone Biles.

[@arwenevenstar0761]

Matt B As far as floor ex, it’s possible that the Olga generation of gymnasts would have done more powerful tumbling but they had to perform on just a mat on the floor. Today’s gymnasts have the benefit of a floor that has a couple thousand springs under it. That’s what enables them to get the bounce and lift needed to go perform multiple flips and twists. Take away the sprung floor and their routines would look much different. I get what you’re saying, though. I think today’s gymnastics needs a much more balanced approach. Most of the so-called “dance” elements consist of nothing more than waving the arms around (especially on beam), poorly-executed multiple turns with an emphasis on how many can be crammed in but no care taken on quality of execution, and so on. Most of the “dance” elements are jerky and it’s obvious they’ve on,y been put in as filler because they’re required. If the Code of Points was revised to reward female gymnasts for grace, elegance, and actual true dance moves while keeping in the powerful tumbling tricks, I believe it would be a huge benefit to the sport.
