[eugvh18]

She has great release moves and style on the bars,

[jaehee0205]

[ludmila03000]

magnifique cette jolis gymnaste me fais rêver

[beautifulsarah100]

Soooooooo sad that injuries halted her in Seoul. What a comp. that would have been with Shush and Silivas AND Dobre!

[animastwentytwenty]

She makes it look so easy!

[quelita28]

I heard she posed naked for a gymnastics magazines of the Netherlands. She shouldn't have done that.

[bbhouk1]

the toe point reminds me of Moceanu's in 1995 worlds

fantastic anyway she really deserved that title

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Wow you can hear the crowd was pissed about the score. It always surprised me that Silivas and Dobre were Romanians they had a very traditional soviet balletic style.

I never implied she had been recovering at the knee surgery here. Please read the comments before other people reply so you can understand all the comments.

[ScorpionallstarFlyer]

haha i love to say i have met her. I LOVE HER! her last name is mofid now

[Lucini91]

The commentator must have been in love with her...

[pinkymonero]

What is there not to love?! She's fantastic imo!

[Lucini91]

I adore her too. But I think the commentator was admiring her beauty more than her skills! :-)

[ikissonthelips]

he is!!! even on camelia voinea´s routine he is talking about aurelia....

[morenodelaorilla]

wow she is good, she kinda reminds me Nadia Comaneci..

[lisam1987]

Wow, the combination of Dobre in her prime as well as Silivas would have been unstoppable during the Team Finals of the 1988 Olympics.

[jnccrs2]

My mom and I loved her. We still think she's the best gymnast ever.

[garyj79]

Great routine BUT...I dont think the commentator was looking as she comments on her slo mo....."geinger...beautiful...­clears the high bar easily" when you can cleary see she recaught wayyyyyyy to close to the bar...great flight on the Katchev but not on her geinger here......

[elamantebilingue]

Aurelia Dobre in my opinion is the best gymnast ever. Technically and artistically she fused everything to create the most astonishing and captivating gymnastics routines. Yelena Shoushounova and Daniela Silivas would not have withstood the challenge of a healthy and confident Aurelia Dobre at the Seoul Olympics.

[molly2222]

She has the most beautiful figure and body posture in gymnastics history. Lovely face, too. It's really a big shame that she was injured before the Olympics.

[Kingers41]

Fantastic performance from the greatest world champion ever. Aurelia was the most complete gymnast of all and it is great to have this vid to remind me of just how good she was...maybe NOW my daughter will believe me!! Thanks

[Ondolady]

It is such a shame that she broke her leg before the 88 Olympics because she would have won it easily.

[gymnasticsforever17]

she went to the olympics in 1988...just didnt win...

[TuesdayPillow]

Hrmmm I thought he had a knee problem and was recovering from surgery.

[lostlyrarose]

They were overscoring big time back then. My only deduction would really be that release move. She really grabs the bar with her arms bent.

[leodicaprio]

She was an incredible gymnast! I happened to meet her this past weekend! She still looks great.

[sportchick04]

wow thats amazing. i would love to meet her! she truly is an inspiration to both young and old gymnasts around the world.... at her best she is breathtaking! she was only 15 years old here! thats talent for you!

[jaydee103]

She was actually only 14 yrs old, she was listed in the Guiness Book of World Records for years as "Youngest World Champion".

[sportchick04]

oh wait.... why does the commentator say shes 15 then?

[mrparts]

the scoring was really ridiculous at the time. everyone getting 9.9+

[pinkymonero]

I agree!!! One of the most complete gymnasts ever when she was at her best!!!

[tedsler]

@elamantebilingue Can you imagine if the three of them had battled it out in Seoul??? omg, it would have been war on the podium! I have always put Silivas above Dobre, I don't know why really. They were both goddesses of gymnastics though :)

[bambinuta]

thnx for uploading this vid... aurelia was one of the most beautiful gymnasts :D

[pinkymonero]

Thank you!!! She is my all time favourite :o)
