After Olga, it seems like they REALLY wanted to push the "little girl" thing in gymnastics, so it seems like many gymnasts wore their hair in pigtails in this era. Several Romanians did and Americans too.
Though many did before like Cathy Rigby and Ludmilla Tourischeva.
Then it died out...as people didn't want them to be seen as little girls...and when some are too young to begin with why make them look younger! Yang Bo in 1989 is the last gymnast I can think of who is a senior in pigtails!
is that toilet paper in her hair or what? should be a deduction cuz it's distracting. maybe she had to take a dump after this an needed extra toilet paper.

How amazing was Masha? Definitely one of the unsung heroines of gymnastics;)

if she looks 9-10 in 77, think how young she looked in the 1976 olympics.
she looked 6!
