Thank you for sharing this-but there was no World Championships in 1977. Maria competed at the 1977 World Cup. Worlds were held every 4 years and back then Maria attended the 1978 an 1981 Worlds.
Maria is one of the greatest most unsung gymnasts in history. She is right up there with Korbut and Omelianchik for some of the most delightful and brilliantly choreagraphed floor routines ever. And like you-there is not one I can think of Maria's that I do not like.
Thank you so much for posting this! She was magnificent. I think this was the 1977 World Cup not the World Championships. The World Championships she competed in the '70's were held in 1978 in Strasbourg and 1979 in Fort Worth.
Absolutely mesmerizing and really quite touching seeing these routines now; as a child I ADORED these gymnasts:)

I do not think she has one floor routine in her entire career that I do not like.
