1988 Olympic Games-womens gymnastics team final-part ten 10

[beautifulsarah100]

Gymnastics was very different when the girls were athletes rather than celebrities. The routines at these 1988 Olympics are soooooooo beautiful to watch, particularly the Russians and Romanians, as usual. And a REALLY good thing about this particular coverage is, we're not seeing an American in every other routine shown. This coverage shows the gymnasts who MATTER.

I always think Strezjeva was a on her way to a ten with that beam, she had not made a single error until that fall.

i agree, the girls back then seemed to be more artistic with their gymnastics not the mention that alot of the girls today ... their form is just terrible! i was an elite gymnast in 1998, i shattered both of the ankles doing a piked full in on floor at tenn. state champs, i look at these girls here and i think.... there is no way that i would have ever gotten to this level, because the coaches that i had were only worried about the big tricks not the form!

What specific language is 'slavic'? silly man.... Romanian is a romance language anyway, not a slavic language.

For a 17yr old you know a lot! as a Brit I must say shes not someone I remember....I was 9 @ the time of the Seoul olympics but remember the battle between YS & DS...its funny at the time I thought Silivas was robbed but seeing her form on the vaults ive changed my mind I must admit - as your quite knowledgable can I ask what happened between Moceanau & Karolyi in the end then?? I hear there was also a falling out!! I say 'also' cos I seems quite frequent for coaches and gymnasts to fall out!

[Yangyun4ever]

is it just me, or does Strazheva look alot like Tatiana Lysenko

[justinmjb]

as in they are both butt ugly then yes... other than that no

[garyj79]

They didnt get along I take it????

[emmyjo720]

I missed Barry Davis this year...

WOw the Romanians were so artistic, The dancing, the style... So impressive... What happened? lol

[espinaca79]

Coach Maria Cosma defected and so did Adrian Goreac. Belu came in and took over and then he let Mariana Bitang do some choreo during the 90's... Adriana Pop helped sometimes but the result is evident.

i challenge ANY gymnast today to have HALF the grace, style, artistry, and innovation as the gymnasts in the late 80's to mid 90's did.

Quality ist amazing, but why didn´t you desinterlace.

[tristalista]

The Soviets and Romanians were doing elements back then that gymnasts are doing today. Incredible!

Dobre couldn't shine in this Olymics, due to her knee injury. What a shame thinking about how brilliant she was in 87 WC.

[GYMANGELS]

i know she is a lovely happy gymnast, and it seemed to me she was just glad to there in 88' because her injury was so serious on her knee, maybe she thought she might not have made it
