The Soviets were absolutely amazing and so well-rounded as a team. So riveting!

Considering the Olympics were in Moscow, I don't think they were generously scored as some people claim. In fact, the judging seemed rather stringent (especially for Davydova and Naimushina in compulsories and Shaposhnikova in optionals).

If people want to see a clear case of questionable judging for the home team they should see the inflated scores the Americans received in Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Why did Naimushina score so low on bars - that was an awesome routine!

[catbyte911]

did anybody else notice 8:39

[catbyte911]

naimushina was pretty

[steelersboy2009]

The scores during this time were always pretty high. 9.7 for Filatova was probably low then...in 2004 I'm sure that routine probably only would've gotten an 8.9 or 9.0.

I agree, in fact Nellie Kim was underscored insanely on vault. She had far better form and a better landing than many who scored higher than her.

Who is the blonde lady who takes the spring board? Larissa Latynina?

[Regaria123]

The 1980 Soviet Team was the best menbers!

[remco27]

Filatova beam exercise (9.70) was overscored.
