Olga was the one who opened the door for Nadia, Before Olga gymnastics was a sport for graceful women and she with her crazy flips made it a sport for young girls doing daring skills. Nadia perfected what Olga had creadet and popularised gymnastics all over the world. Nadia and Olga together changed the face of the sport forever and that's why they are considered to be two of the greatest gymnasts of all time and so many years later EVERY real gymnastics fun knows them by their first name.

Olga ingested drug wise to do that? then not perfect ... but drugs

@gymnasticsloverxoxo You are right...but Nadia's routines were that much better than the other gymnasts that you couldn't give her a 10...even with the little hops.
-
@gymnasticsloverxoxo You really seem very invested in how good Olga is and how Nadia does not deserve the attention she received. This was nearly 40 years ago. Get over it. Sheesh.

Olga did with gym what no one else would do at that time. She made it look fun and inviting. There was a 40% increase in participation right after those games. She also did what no other athlete could do at those games that was very important. She gave us something positive to remember out of a games that will forever be remembered for politics and murder.

Nadia did not take gymnastics to different heights, she built on the foundation that Olga had created. Olga transformed gymnastics over night at the '72, there were few people in the world who didn't know her name, that was when the popularity of gymnastics started, I guarantee you. Nadia's perfect tens were not perfect, beautiful, they were, but not perfect. If you watch Olga's team bar routine from '72 I guarantee you, you will not find a single deduction, that routine was perfection.
