Don't forget Mostepanova!

I'm sure Mostepanova, Yurchenko and Baraksanova would give Mary Lou a tremendous fight for gold.

Yes, Retton won...but...haven't you wondered what would have happened if ALL the gymnasts would have competed..you can never count down the soviets...you just can't....I'm sure the result if not different would have had a different impact on USA gymnasts and coaches.....I HAVEN'T SAID A WORD.....I'M JUST SAYING!!!

I remember this. They interviewed Nadia right after this competition and it was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. She looked absolutely miserable and it was easy to tell she was being watched and every word she said was being monitored. Really creepy stuff.

[espinaca79]

Oh, and it is not a Tsukahara, It is a tucked "Cuervo"

[espinaca79]
