Biles and Andrade! ❤

[@brigidm6279]

I am so glad that Mustafina holds a place in current gymnasts' hearts and minds. She deserves to be one of the post 2000 legends along with Simone.

[@booksbyleynes]

The power that Mustafina holds. GOD BLESS HER!

Arthur included and mentioning Goddess Rebecca Andrade, perfect moment does exist

[@MoisesDanielJordan]

My forever QUEEN of them all, Mustafina. 👑 I'm also so glad to have heard my other queen Komova (pristine), and names such as Chuso, Dufournet, Steingruber, Iordache and now Andrade getting the recognition she deserves in today's gymnastics. 👏 😍

[@JadeEliot]

I love how many of them named gymnasts they're competing against this week! And personally my heart warmed when Ellie Black named Peng Peng Lee

[@sarahamfm]

The French girl's Dad is from Portugal, hence the name.

[@portugalmath]

@@sarahamfm I've searched and find out that he lived in Brazil

[@ifalloveragain]

I'm actually quite surprised by this poll because I thought everyone would have said Simone Biles...

[@angeliastone-tolcher2386]

Im surpised no one said nadia

[@findingthatperfectspot4692]

These are teenage girls and young women. They didn't grow up watching Nadia. Most of them probably aren't that familiar with her work.

[@gym_analysis]

@@findingthatperfectspot4692 Of course, I am sure ALL of them didn't watch Nadia live cause you've got to be at least 44 years old to watch her got her perfect 10 in 1976. But I am surprised they didn't know her, or even heard of her, she's literally the icon of gymnastics because of her World's first perfect 10. I mean I was born in 2001 and I knew her, there are plenty of videos of her laying around on KZbin.

[@findingthatperfectspot4692]

@@gym_analysis You'd be amazed at how little elite gymnasts know about gymnastics history. Most elite gymnasts don't watch gymnastics. They just do it. They're gymnasts, not gymnastics fans.

[@ClaudineMarquesPontes]

Essa mustafina não tem nada de melhor do que Rebeca Andrade . Elas disseram isso porque mustafina não participa mais e elas não querem admintir que admiram Rebeca , Flávia, e outros nomes da ginástica

[@birabira-y1z]

Flávia? aí exagerou. Menos! rsrs

[@welium123]

Kate Mcdonald has good taste! How Komova only got mentioned once is beyond me. And the girl that said Melnikova needs her head checked
