The originality in the moves and dance here and on FX back then, how high she was on her toes, everything...this epitomizes why i wish she'd never gone near Bela.
Gary Rafalowski, her first coach, know he could take her to the Olympics, but Karolyi made her more consistent, and pulled out her killer instinct to win.
She should have kept that RO layout stepout in for the Olympics. The body wave is too funny. I had forgotten all about that move, which was in almost every routine back then.
I love seeing this for a former gymnast mom of this era it's great to show my kids what routines were like back then in the olden days -- love seeing mary lou. Great video, thanks for sharing!

With his clout, he made her Olympic champion.

I'm sure he felt shafted when Mary Lou left him.
