I am from Romania, and I live in the same town she did. There is a highschool with her name and other gymnasis clubs in here. So even tho we are a small town, we are very proud of our Nadia Comaneci.

man, that comaneci release is awesome! i have yet to see any other gymnast since do it anywhere near as well.

[zhangshinyi]

is the full twist she did at :18 considered hard today?

Yeah, well, try doing a Comaneci salto--still one of the most difficult moves ever done on bars.

But this was 33 years ago, things were a lot different and the bars weren't as easy to swing/hold on to.

its a level 5-6 dismount, qwertykingzai. i love her routine! such elegance. Everytime she transitioned, i thought she was slipping :O

[starluvr5204]

[leeny11]

i can do that and i'm not even elite. its one of the easiest dismounts these days

I am sooooooooo stupid I always though a comaneci salto was that move at 0:23 but now I know it is that straddle move she does. Does anybody know what that move is called at 0:23?

OMG!

The old horse-style vaults didn't provide enough support and spring when the gymnasts pushed off. It was easy to hurt yourself on them because they were so narrow and rigid.

Shaposhnikova started doing giants in '77 (or at least that's the earliest video I ever found).
