Nadia Comaneci - First Perfect 10 | Montreal 1976 Olympics

[@piano0b]

funfact: "the scoreboard manufacturer was led to believe that it was impossible to receive a perfect ten, thus the scoreboard was not programmed to display that score. Comăneci's perfect 10 thus appeared as 1.00"

Nadia Comăneci is the forever first and best female athlete who ever existed. For me, she had the perfect combination of grace, elegance and athletic moves. Since I saw her 'perfect 10'-performance, I (unfortunently) compare everyone to her and in my opinion, nobody could have ever achieved her level. COMĂNECI is a absolute natural and made for it! Although I have a lot of respect for every athlete, I never saw somebody with such as bubbly, artistical, light-footed and looks-so-easy-to-do fun and passion as Comăneci.

[@Rachel-hg1gn]

+Dominique Ivory oooh... why aren't they allowed?

[@stephaniescott7809]

+Rachel It's more to do with changes to the apparatuses and the scoring system. The bars are a lot closer together, so the gymnasts all did those belly bang moves whereas now they are able to do giants, etc. and gain more speed and so do more difficult moves including a lot taken from the men's high bar. They now use a spring floor so are able to do much more difficult tumbling passes than she could. Same with vault and the table vs the horse. The other big change is the way scoring now favours difficulty over perfection and artistry.

[@dc6354]

In 1976 Nadia was more than a gymnast; she was a super star. She had everything; great gymnastic ability, balance, grace, beauty, and elegance. There have and will be lots of great gymnasts; most will be replaced and soon forgotten. There may never be another Nadia and like Jim Thorpe, she will never be forgotten. I don't know that Nadia is the best of all time but she was certainly the best in her in her time. No one before or since has accomplished as much in creating interest in women's gymnastics in the USA and in the world as Nadia. The spark that Olga Korbut started Nadia turned into a blazing fire.

[@hanscyrus]

Nadia exuded femininity. Olga portrayed a more masculine style to her routine. Most all female gymnasts today still want to act like males in their routines to acquire points and the attention of the judges, but Nadia's coaches thought otherwise and won her heaps of gold by training her so. How to rectify the mindset of female gymnasts today? So that they don't want to act like guys? I don't know.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

For the naysayers who reckon that Nadia's routines were "easy", may I point out that the equipment was completely different back then. The beam, as you can see in the video, is just a block of wood. No springs and no padding. Same with the floor - it's just that, a floor. The strength needed to do the tumbles and passes Nadia did so beautifully, and off a "dead" floor and beam no less, is phenomenal. And they used the old vaulting horse rather than the modern day vaulting table. I would venture an opinion that if Nadia were competing today, she would absolutely be up there with the best.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Bella Barbee That's OK, no offence taken. Yes floors today do have lots of springs. But the floor here is the old padded floor. They are a leftover from the times when the Soviets dominated gymnastics. Although the modern sprung floors allow for more powerful tumbling, I kind of miss the grace and artistry that the old simple padded floor routines had.

I like this so much better than most of today's 'routines' because this really is a floating routine. She almost never stands still, it's all one piece, with skills incorporated in it.These days they just pause and stop and pause and stop to show off skills. There's barely a routine left.

Great remark. There is flow, does does feel like most athletes (you see this in also e.i. skating where you FEEL there is a checklist of figures to do and they're "checking them off" one by one and it feels odd in between. Also: GRACE! Beyond athletics, there is finish to the movements from toes to fingers, nothing stiff, artistic touch. BRAVO!

[@DutchHPfan1992]

What a joy for for the jury and the rest of the stadium to watch this. I'm not so much into gymnastics as I would describe my own flexibility as that of a wooden door but even if your're not into this sport this will give you shivers! This is so much better than the things we see these days; this years Olympics for example. This is much more difficult, elegant and natural. She makes it look so easy and look at how fast she's doing it. These days it's more like loose parts in a routine; Nadia makes it a performance.

[@jennaboo2050]

Yeah you're right. You don't know gymnastics that well if you think this is more difficult. Nadia wouldn't even qualify for the Olympics nowadays.

[@orangewedges]

Well, a lot has happened in gymnastics since the 70s, namely a massive change to the code of points that increasingly puts a strong emphasis on difficulty in the attempt to have more objective judging. The result is artistry is downplayed which is why we don't see the same lyricism and artistic creativity in gymnastics nowadays. Back then, a gymnast needed to be more "well-rounded" with regards to technique and artistry...so Nadia was definitely more elegant and enchanting in her performance (as were most gymnasts of that era) because the code of points called for that. But the gymnastics of today is much more difficult if you look at it from a purely technical standpoint. The same can be said of, say, figure skating. Male skaters of today are doing quads regularly (and are said to require them to be any bit competitive with the rest of the field) whilst way back when, a skater only had to do doubles to win medals.

[@mrsandmom5947]

Jennaboo Yes she would have stepped up to the plate

[@vivs9314]

Jennaboo Gymnists today wouldn’t qualify for the Olympics back then either, what’s your point?

Both generations hold unique gymnasts that dominate their era of sports.

I do like watching her routines, but her smile and apparent effortless has definitely been coached into her as was the case with Olga Korbut. Her smile is not a product of her joy. In that sense I do like the fact that nowadays it is okay to look focused and in pain when doing your routines as this is more real to me.

[@MZ_83]

MZ83 effortlessness I meant

[@bwsmyhero]

MZ83, from what I heard at the time, Olga Korbut was NOT encouraged to do all that smiling and waving at the audience because attracting personal attention was discouraged by trainers who focused on team oriented effort. In fact, it was the general Soviet attitude in all then-Communist countries, Romania included, to focus on the team--not personal adulation from the audience. Korbut simply enjoyed the cheers of the crowd and returned it with her engaging personality, but privately, she was rebuked for doing it.

[@MZ_83]

Dixie Burge I watched a documentary on Olga Korbut here on KZbin (can't remember which one, though) in which she even admitted to being encouraged to smile during competition.

[@HawkFest]

[@dc6354]

Every 4 years more or less, there will be other Simones'. There may never be another Nadia. Simone is very good gymnast, Nadia is a super star; a gymnast that won the hearts and imagination of the world. Like Tiana stated, "It's a completely different sport now..." Under current rules where acrobatics is rated higher than artistic and because she is 8" shorter (a very great height advantage) Simone would probably win against the 1980 Nadia. However, Simone wouldn't have that height advantage over the 1976 Nadia. Therefore, even under current rules, if it was possible for Simone to compete, I would put my money on the 1976 Nadia and it would be no contest under the rules in Nadia's time where elegance, grace, and artistry was just as important as acrobatics.

She was 14 and it was 1976. There was different equipment and training back then. Nadia may not be considered the best ever anymore, but for many, she is the only reason that we may watch gymnastics every four years.

[@criley386]

+Gigi B it all factors into the reason for Nadia's perfect 10 and why the 10 point system was eventually phased out in favor the currently code of points(COP). The 10 point system favored execution WAY more than difficulty as long as the maneuvers in the routine were considered a part of elite gymnastics, and Nadia's routines set a standard for gymnastics for almost 30 years. While creating an elegance and appreciation for form comparable to that of ballet dancers, this standard slowly became more and more controversial as gymnasts with greater strength and stature were edged out of competition in favor of their smaller, younger, and more graceful counterparts. Compare Vera Caslavska in 1968 (28 years old) to Nadia(14). Women of Vera's age and stature like Aly Raisman of the U.S. and Catalina Ponor of Romania probably never would have made the Olympic stage 20 years ago because they have body types that favor difficulty.
