I'm explaining why people think she might be
-
Did you not read my comment? I said she wasn't huge!
-
Nadia wasn't "huge" but she had grown taller and heavier so fast that her technique (and routines) just could not adapt to the adjustments necessary for her new size and weight.
-
I know that having any available national competitor from the sport being shown was usual for the "color commentators" on ITV Sport back then but the flat nasal whine and banal exposition from Janet Mitchell is just awful. And I thought Ann Jones doing Wimbledon for the BBC all those years was as bad as it got.

elena was just amazing
-
Yelena would have won the 1980 Olympics. There's no doubt in my mind about that. She was so disciplined, so elegant, so... perfect!!! May she rest in peace always!!!
-
it's Polina Astakhova. incidentally she was at all the same Olympics Larissa was (1956, 1960, and 1964) and they retired the same year (1966).
she was fantastic, in her day they called her the queen of bars. sadly, she died in 2005, at only 68.

why does everyone say nadia was huge here? Nelli Kim are the same size here, maybe Nadia's breasts a bit larger. but really no one ever calls Nelli fat, and she was a little heavyset (due to being very short) for a gymnast.
and lol at them calling Kathy Johnson the old lady of the team at 19. At the 1984 Olympics she was 25.
-
reports from the 1976 Olympics say that Olga Korbut attempted one in the one touch warmup during the team final, but crashed and instead only did a double back (which i have footage of her team finals floor posted). but Mukhina was the first woman to do it DURING competition, that can't be denied.

@bbhouk1 who was the first?

Mukhina was way ahead of her time. She was the first woman to do a full in on floor and a double back off beam. In my mind she is THE most underrated gymnast in history. You always hear about Nadia and Olga..I think it wise to add Elena to that list

she shouldn't end in 76. she was only 14. and this was her only bad championship. then she won other 4-5 olympic medals in 1980. so i don't see the problem. one cannot be number 1 all the time. but she was many many times.
