Gabi 1977 Romanian Nationals...hideous choreography!

[Floatie114]

Marta did her no favors but she appears to be quite awkward all on her own...

[gymfan1079]

At first I felt embarrassed for Bela when I heard that he was her coach. Like, wow, he probably regrets this routine. Then I heard Marta was the choreographer. That kinda says something, doesn't it? Marta, Marta... smh.

[tedsler]

OMG poor girl. I don't think she look up from the floor once during that minute and a bit. Horrible! I mean how many skips and chassées can you do in one routine EEK

[jazzygupahlove3510]

what the hell.....

[iwinyoulose101]

this routine is on crack...

[horseluvr999]

@iwinyoulose101 martha is on crack for th choreography :L

[CRAZYxEPIC]

@horseluvr999 Marta*

[twiggy1331]

Which brings me to my next point...don't smoke crack!

[kayper54]

See, I don't get this because Nadia's routine was so cute (IMO) but then Emilia Eberle's was almost as bad as this girl's (and I don't remember who she is anymore)

[mgrifi]

seizure!!!!!!!

[mindyschocolate]

ROFLMAO. HAHAHA......WOW........loved 1:09-1:13, and you know you can almost hear her thoughts approaching that dance element "...sigh....here comes my favorite part..."That put a smile on my face.

[mindyschocolate]

@mindyschocolate oops, I mean 1:06-1:13.

[garyj79]

1:12-1:13 - classic! ha ha

[MaebySurelyBarely]

Oh, poor girl. This wasn't really her fault. Yet another disaster caused by Marta.

[kleonstar]

This kind of routines are good to watch when you need to cheer you up XD

[serenenz]

She reminds me of a clydesdale stomping away when she is trying to dance but the tumbling is pretty good... NEIGHHHHH

[Pagan1123]

Its not that she's bad... its probably a combination of the gymnast having weak dance and the fact that Marta Karolyi can't choreograph to save her life.

[sqekcx]

I mean it's actually pretty entertaining. Like she's trying to be crazy but not entirely so.

At least she's out there having fun, unlike some of the competitors nowadays who look like gymnastics is a chore for them.

[cryingforashadow]

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck......­......

[memd92]

this is pure garbage. she is like the worst gymnast I have ever seen.

[gugymnast101]

This choreography is so baddd...I saw Emilia Eberle's too,it's horrible! hahaa

[auswriteratheart]

Well...on the plus side, it's better than Emilia Eberle's routine from the same year....

[elgande89]

so...it´s a pretty weird routine. So childish not even a level one gymnast would perform such a ridiculous choreo. But was funny , too.

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

Wow. That's AWFUL!!!

[yentaleh]

OMG! What was this girl on? The tumbling wasn't bad (despite lack of toe points.) but the dancing and choragraphy was HORRIBLE!! I normally don't laugh at gymnastic routines but this takes the cake! The score was shocking too 9.45??? The judges are blind!

[ferency98]

I was laughing all the way through it! Especially 1:09 to 1:12 when she went into an epileptic seizure. I'm surprised someone didn't stick a belt in her mouth it was so bad.

[TuesdayPillow]

Pretty awful, and yet better presented than many present-day routines ... but still, what the heck was Marta thinking?!?

[adventuregirl76]

@TuesdayPillow Maybe Marta was trying to sabotage a gymnast she didn't necessarily care for? LOL.

[fishchimes]

She looks like she drank 4 cans of coke, 3 triple espressos and has plans for dunkin donuts! XD

Just saying what everyone else has said before, lol XD

1:09-1:15 is the best part!

[kashmirpage]

This was just something new the Romanians were trying out at the time. Many of the Romanians had moves like this in their routines, including Nadia.

To be exact, I think Nadia stated in her autobiography that she and Bela had words about it. She told him she was more interested in impressing the judges than the little old ladies in the audience.

[twilliger123]

She'll also a shitty dancer with no toe point or grace, that doesn't help the bad choreography either.

[BondGirl29]

correction: "no different THAN looking"...

[BondGirl29]

you should all take a deep breath and relax...it's no different that looking back at a horrible outfit from the sixties; things are just not the same anymore nowadays: it's a whole new civilization (not entirely better though)

[vscanzi]

"OMG HELP ME FIRE ON MY BUTT" coreo

[mifune141]

Just painful to watch.

[sazarific]

What a hot Geza mess. I gotta go drink now.

[ChildofPluto]

This is not by Geza, but by Martha!

[platinumgymnast]

o lord.. aaaaaaaaahah

[VioletGlam28]

Whoever choreographed this routine needs to go back to school. The gymnast looked like a hyper active kid that had one too many candy bars and is now running a mock.

[FlippinTitan10]

It was Marta Karolyi! lol

[dAnThEmAn178987]

its like someone jacked her up on espresso and then told her that afte the meet she could get candy this is hyper insane

[HereWasRachel]

feverish is a brilliant way to describe it, i have to say!

[produnov]

HAHAHAHH LOL LOL LOL HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[dAnThEmAn178987]

hahahhahaa it looks like she had like 8 red bulls and about 5 bags of pure can sugar about 3 minutes prior to the routine...

[Lakuilera]

designed by martha... surprise surprise... martha you should just stick to coaching...

[CRAZYxEPIC]

@Lakuilera Marta*

[catalina1inaustin]

Thanks for posting, it's great to see this. Funny but no more crazy than Emilia Eberle's 1977 routine :-)

[triplethreattalent]

To me it the choreography looks like a bee flies into her leotard at the beginning of the routine and as the routine progresses she is thrashing about trying to get rid of it..Gotta love Vintage gymnastics though!

[ralucagymnast]

That really is dreadful-makes me laugh the way the commentators are trying to be polite about it!!

[inuyashaisabela]

THATS MY GYMNASTICS COACH SERIOSLY

[Darkdog]

I'd like to see you better.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

LOL- anyone could ;-)
