She has the most exquisite toe point of any gymnast that I have ever seen.

@MNGYM26 There's room in one's heart to love them all just the same-I do! :D

@demc67 Agreed...the way they were throwing out 10's at those games, she would have gotten a perfect 40! Mary LOu would have been lucky to be in the top 10. The Soviets could have swept the AA.

without the boycott- you're looking at the 84 Olympic champion.

Gosh... how I miss the golden days and the grandeur of the Soviet gymnastics machine... This routine is mesmerizing!
-
It's a shame she couldn't compete in 1984
-
Outside the tumbling this routine is absolutely flawless, in my eyes. The dance is so incredible.
-
The goddess in action.....I'm in a hard place of who I love the most on floor...Naiumishina, Mostepanova, Omelinchik, Boginskaya, Strazheva, Laschenova...somone help me out.

You are exactly right! Today's gymnasts should be forced to watch this routine at least ten times a day to learn what artistic gymnastics is all about. They throw double-doubles and five or six tumbling passes in their routines today but are simply unable to perform the elementary basics of gymnastics. Too sad.

Being underage or not, what really did Mostepanova in was the Eastern Bloc boycotting the 1984 Olympics.
They really need to lower the age requirement .

I agree. A gifted athlete should not be denied the right to compete against the best.
