Sally Vee quite a few of their gymnasts showed tons of promise, yet their coaches never allowed them to realize it. I’m thinking of Andreea Munteanu, Stefania Stanila, Anamaria Ocolisan, Laura Jurca, Andreea Iridon, Ioana Crisan and Denisa Golgota in particular.

@Sally Vee that's because in Romania children do not want to do gymnastic anymore. Just think that in 2016 we had 100 gymnasts in the entire country (in 2020 much less) , while in the US there are 4 million children who do gymnastic. In the past was different,today parents don't let their children do gymnastic , too much work and we do not have recreational gymnastic.

@Sally Vee in Romania there is no level of recreational gymnastics, or lower levels of competition, nothing. In Romania, gymnastics has become an elitist sport and not a mass sport, its main purpose being to collect prizes, medals and life annuities and not to attract as many children to practice it, so the basis of selection it has shrunk from one Olympic edition to another. We didn't qualify for Rio and we don't have a team for Tokio.

Yes they look much healthier now. I think the logic was if they are light they can jump higher - but I don’t know how some of them had the strength and energy for routines when they were underfed. Keeping in mind of course some people are naturally slender, but if that’s not your natural body type it must have been tough. And Simone proves that a muscular gymnast can do amazing things!

The first springs were introduced to the Gymnastics floor exercise in1978/79 and were only about 2 inches. As the 80s,90s and 00s progressed so did the springs, going from 2 to 4 to 6, to the current 8 inch springs which in turn allows the gymnasts to perform more difficult skills.

So many people were complaining about how gymnastics was moving away from ballet and "not elegant". Biles dancing in a hiphop manner fits more to what gymnastics is, explosive, high energy tumbling. Ballet is an art that tells a story (and to my very quick google search) does not tumble while gymnastics is a sport. We dont ask them to be elegant while performing a valt or balance beam routines.

Romania are the queens on the floor!! How ultra awesome was Szabo! One of the coolest routines ever, mixing grace and athleticism. Daniela's 2nd pass was just class, literally 2 passes in a row and her funky robotic moves were GOLD. Aly's routine while powerful seemed stiff, which thankfully wasn't the case of the excellent Biles! Its interesting how over the games, the floors have moved from 3 to 4 floor passes. This compile is so brilliant. I would love to see Romania on top of the table once again!

Talking about thin bodies to the point of malnutrition, watch Comaneci. She's very quick in the air and when she's spinning, she briefly disappears. Their weight and so on was strictly monitored, both in Romania and Russia.They were fierce rivals and both teams fought hard for medals. At that time, there's no way they would be allowed to have strong, muscular bodies like Biles.

In Nadia's days the floor had no springs. It was a simple bare wooden floor with a very thin carpet. It started to evolve in the early 90's to accommodate the skills that required more height and force. The early 90s started with simple springs and now in Simone Bile's days there's springs in between wood and a thick carpet. Saying that Nadia was not as strong as the other gymnasts shoes just how ignorant you are.

Maybe her moves weren’t as difficult as recent gymnasts, but she revolutionized gymnastics, and her charisma and charm have never been equaled. If I had to rate them, I couldn’t but I do think the best gymnasts of all time are Olga Korbut for revolutionizing the sport, Nadia Comaneci for her perfect form and innovation and finally, Simone Biles. Ms. Biles has exhibited the most difficult and precise gymnastics I have ever seen. All three are incredible.

The Romanian team received warm receptions everywhere at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics because they refused to go along with the Soviet boycott. Szabo, being a Romanian gymnast using American music for her routine, was a definite crowd pleaser for the fiercely anti-Soviet American audience of the 80's. Ironically, Mary Lou Retton, the American Sweetheart from the 84 Games, used Romanian folk music for her floor exercise.

@@sherwinpeters7397 the reason the max score differs is because of difficulty. They all have a max 10 in execution. More difficult routines have higher d-scores. Comparing scores over time was never as easy as people think. Max scores varied back then, too, since you could start below a 10 of you didn't have enough difficulty. (Probably not in event finals where I suspect all or nearly all finalists had 10 0 start values), not to mention the values of individual elements have changed a lot.

You should have shown Nadia Comaneci at 76 games in my opinion that was her height of career. Amazing too. Blows anyone else out of the water, past or present, and no springs in the floor either. Her bars routine is miles better than anyone today too. She was simply the GOAT.

Yea her difficultly wouldn't even be considered elite. You are comparing two different times. I love Nadia. I think I wore out the VHS watching her story when I was a kid. But the difficulty of today is miles ahead of that time. And springs aren't exactly a trampoline. They give some extra "bounce" but they are more for shock absorption and to prevent potential injuries to lower extremity joints of gymnasts due to the nature of the apparatus, which includes the repeated pounding required to train it.

@@trinalittlefield6294 You said: "They give some extra "bounce" but they are more for shock absorption and to prevent potential injuries" Exactly! Put Nadia and Simone Biles or anyone really on equipment of the 70's and ask them to do the same routine. Nadia is winning it. Simone wouldn't be able to do all those difficult skills she does today and I'm not putting her down for it, she shouldn't be able to. Even so, skills aside Nadia had artistry and grace like a ballerina too. Simone would lose on artistry points and maybe tie on skills, and I'm being generous on that as I actually think Nadia wins on skills too, but Simone is brilliant too just not the GOAT in my opinion.

@@vaskylark they used foam block floors in 76. Simone did a standing full on a baseball field before she threw out the first pitch. I'm not saying she could throw her triple triple, but she'd be ok. Clearly you don't understand Gymnastics. Nadia is a beautiful gymnast for her time, but comparing her to today's athletes and saying it's "just equipment" isn't accurate. Back then, it was a whole different era of gymnastics than as we know it now. The rules and the difficulty level of the routines weren’t anywhere near what we see Biles and her contemporaries perform.

@@trinalittlefield6294 I disagree and I've been following the sport since 1976, even watching the US Nationals on my wedding night back in 1991 haha. I performed on the uneven parallel bars back in the 70's as that was my best event and I was doing skills that are now banned today. I really hate the arrogance of youth to always think they are better and know more than past generations. It couldn't be farther from the truth. The crappy equipment makes the difficulty even harder than today for one. NObody today could do their same routines on the equipment from the 70's and that is a fact. Also, in todays gymnastics we have zero artistry and grace so we constantly see wobbles. It looks more like circus performers to me than a sport that is called artistic gymnastics. Back in the 70's it was half acrobatics and half ballet moves, and on equipment that absorbs zero shock. No, I think 70's gymnastics was far superior and far more difficult. I don't think any gymnasts of today measure up to the gymnasts of the 70's.

A gymnast using a 70's style today wouldn't win jack because even the judges criteria has evolved to conform to today's athleticism. The level of difficulty compared to the 70's is incomparable.Furthermore Simone Biles has 5(FIVE) routines named in her honor. I can't name a single one of Comaneci's. Perhaps you can help
