It's funny seeing the reaction of the Soviets getting their medals, compared to the Romanians. The Soviets look absolutely crushed, angry even.

It looks like Shushunova and Baitova had been crying, too.

Shushunova said it was the worst moment of her career.. Worse than losing the AA..

[emmyjo720]

@gutsfinky Shushunova, Baitova and Omelianck have tears rolling down there cheeks. Shushunova said they took that lose really hard.

Thank you for posting these wonderful victory ceremonies! I'd never seen them before and in the U.S. they only usually show them if an American medals.

Very true.

check out shushunova's afro look and boginskaya at the age of 14!

That's not an afro style on Shushunova. She's blown it out-but it's far from a 'fro.
