1976 Olympics Women's gymnastics

[@alien8855]

All of the gymnast in this era were graceful and elegant but IMO Nadia Comaneci in the beam with the music in the background is the most beautiful, elegant, ethereal gymnast that I have ever seen in my life! That beam routine is the only thing that is still stuck to my mind out of this whole competition. Watching this again has made me realise that there is no one like Nadia. She truly is one of the GOAT female gymnast of all time!

There’s no artistry anymore in gymnastics like there was in the 70s. Today it’s just one trick after another with no flow, grace, or beauty (with a few exceptions). Sad.

[@SurvivorOfChildhoodTrauma]

Agreed, 100%

[@annettemalaski1967]

I do not consider rolling on the floor, prancing on tippy-toes and ballet stretches as artestry. I consider choreography that matches the gymnastics to be better.

[@annettemalaski1967]

Gymnastics is a athletic sport! Not a balet stage. The only reason ballet was in it was in the fourties and fiftes was that women had not been allowed to do the athletics beyond jumping jacks and the like. The vaults in the fiftes and sixties were so basic it was comical. When the tricks came, so did the athletic prowess!

[@lockheartsam9538]

You're sad

Doing a double back on floor back in '76 would take incredible strength since it was a just a flat dead mat--not like the trampoline-like springy mats now!

All these routines are beautiful. Compared to today's routines they are much easier, but oh so graceful and nearly perfect. The choreography was much richer back then. Not to take anything away from the gymnasts of today, but as far as perfection goes, they can't compete with the perfection of this era.

The gymnasts from this time relied more on the beauty and elegance of the sport. Today they relief on the big, difficult tricks to get a good score. The pointing of the toes was also important to the gymnasts back then.

I met that entire Russian team when they toured the US after those Olympics. They were my heroes. If it wasn't for the 72 Olympics and the Russian team and the 76 Olympics and Nadia, the gyms in the US would not be as full as they are now. They raised all the awareness and excitement about the sport in the US. It was not a big sport in the US before then and look at it now.

[@NS-pr8is]

Soviet Team not Russian

[@robertwill23]

and now americans turned women's gymnastics into sad parody of men's gymnastics with their focus on power and strength. what's the point of that? women are different than men, they have other unique qualities that should be expressed in such sport as gymnastics (that is still called artistic). there is zero artistry, grace and personality in modern day women's gymnastics, it's all about just tumblings, no cohesion in performances, no fluidity, no emotion or expressiveness in combination. women gymnasts look almost like body builders. women's gymnastics has become very primitive, no imagination. and americans contributed to such sad change.

[@jedyrusacwilson687]

Here's my opinion on the Nadia Teodora thing; I agree that Teodora's floor routine was better than most here, and not so childish like many of this era. (And as a side note, who noticed many aspects of that routine in Omeliantchik's 10 scoring 'birdie' routine in the 80s?? I'm not slagging Oksana off,,, that is another of my 'I will never tire of watching' routines! But I think her choreographer def got a handful of ideas from Teodora's routine! 😉) However, in the end for me it's a very subtle blend of speed, beauty and grace that make me watch Nadia, in this competition, over and over. I know her landings are less perfect than some of the others...but the fluidity of her movements, the effortlessness, (through extreme physical strength) and, this may sound weird, but the shape, flexibility and proportions of her limbs and body and her height!! No-one mentions that but I think it does matter! Filatova is very neat and graceful too, but a little too short at this time. Korbut has similar proportions I think and is more flexible, but I think Nadia is just the right amount of flexible.... It's politically incorrect for me to say so but freedom of speech and just being honest,,,,,well i just don't enjoy watching the modern bulky girls so much or even the bigger girls of this era even though i think they're figures are more womanly and would make more attractive catwalk models (Kim, Toureshceva). But I don't even enjoy watching Nadia so much after these games! I think she peaked here. (Even though she became more beautiful in a womanly way) There. That's my opinion.

[@alien8855]

Yh honestly body structure/good proportions does help when it comes to gymnastics. I don't know if it's legit or not but I heard certain type of bodies are perfect for certain sports like for e.g Ice skating, gymnastics, some people are just born with a good instrument and if the coaches notices it early on and helps them develop their talents then you have legends like Nadia. Nadia was born to do gymnastics lol when you watch her beam or floor routine you realise she has a perfect body structure/proportions with right amount of speed, flexibility, beauty. elegance and delicate in her movements!

[@doriasalmon4790]

Wow thank you for uploading, the age of classic gymnastics at its best, with artistic grace, beauty and lovely to watch... I believe the judges were told to favor Ludmilla Turesheva, and even she admitted that Olga was the better gymnast (during the 1972 olympics )when she was a judge herself many years later. I love the humble respectable and less glitzy leotards and the clean faces and hair, so that the focus was on the gymnastic moves and not on how they made themselves up, like they do today which is a huge distraction from the sport. The other girls were just as good as Nadia, they should have gained more recognition. True beauty and fluid moves, not a competition of difficult tumbling passes with loud music as in today’s gymnastic competitions.

[@leightonsteven7059]

I agree , the gymnasts look much better back then , than they do now, Ludmilla and Olga didn’t get along so well, and although she may have conceded that she was a better gymnast , she was also quick to point out that Olga never beat her in an AA event, because she always lost her nerve or made more mistakes. Ludmimilla was very generous in her comments to others,saying that by 1976 gymnastics had evolved and that there were many Better up and coming gymnasts than herself. I personally thought she put up a very graceful and solid performance in defence of her 1972 AA title, but that both Nellie Kim and Nadia had surpassed her

Even though the degree of difficulty back then was lower than it is now, I still defy anyone to top Nadia. Teodora was right there w/her, too. Their form was impeccable!! Interesting that most of the Romanian and Soviet gymnasts now live in the US.

They live abroad for the financial opportunities available ,and the chance to better themselves . Not that you allude to it , whereas many others would, but it has nothing to do with the perceived communist regimes they came from

I would defy any of the new gymnasts to try those old routines in the old equipment 😂😂😂

Mirando los primeros 45 minutos, pienso: 1. La composición de los cuerpos, todas gimnasta graciosas, elegantes, delgadas, esbeltas. 2. No era necesario desarrollar tanto músculo como las gimnastas de hoy en día, todas tenían una fuerza física impresionante; 3. Mi sensación es que las rutinas en F eran más fluidas, elegantes, y acordes a la música, había más elementos de de danza y flexibilidad y menos de acrobacias , a diferencia de hoy en día, donde se exige más originalidad pero también más riesgo. En UB Menos las combinaciones eran súper originales y todas caían “clavadas” y solo pocas daban paso adelante o atrás. 4. El saludo de las rusas era más elegante, tipo posicion de ballet (se vea a M. Filatova) 5. TODAS tenían una belleza natural, unas más bonitas que otras, y no se maquillaban tanto como hoy. 6. Los leotardos eran más representativos, se podía saber inmediatamente de dónde eran; 7. Nadia Comaneci fue extraordinaria, pero tanta atención en ella, opacó otra gimnasta que creó estaba a su altura: Teodora Ungureanu. De hecho, se dice que era mejor que Nadia, pero Bela Karoly no la creía tan consistente como a Nadia y no le dio la oportunidad de brillar como se lo dio a Nadia. (No me lo dijo él, lo leí o escuche en alguna parte). 8. La actitud psicológica, de todas las gimnastas era de manual. Si postraban altas cargas de presión y estrés ( sobre todo las del bloque comunistas), y al mismo la motivación de para seguir en esa competencia después del primer 10.00, también es de manual. Ahora se le presiona un poco o se estresan u se retiran. Y yo digo, se preparan por años, se foguean y después llegan años OG y tiran la toalla. CONCLUSIÓN: las gimnastas de antaño sí que eran mejor y por mucho, de las de hoy.

1:29:05. Anyone know why Tourisheva was so upset, in the silver spot behind Nelli Kim?
