She coaching Sabrina Vega, who was on the US WAG Team in 2011. I saw Teodora on TV congratulating Sabrina after a good routine.
-
Personally I liked her beam and bars routines better than Nadia's. She was better than Nelli Kim I thought and should have had the all around silver and the gold on the beam. IMHO.

It is a perfect 10!

@lostlyrarose i think it was probably about the same difficulty because nadia had the aerial walkover but teo had the split handstand with 1 1/2 rotation which would make them about equal
nadia's dismount was harder though but teo had the half turn to back walk-over from sitting position while nadia's had no turn
i'd say they were pretty equal
-
I think this routine deserved the perfect 10 too! lovely
-
I saw her in competition successfully do a RO-ff-back tuck. Does anyone have the vid?
-
I think the 1979 World University Games (which Teodora won over the Soviets) was her last competition going by old IG1 back issues.

Beautiful routine, it flows wonderfully. The straddle level walkover out mount is still being used today. And I love Teo's double rotation in splitshandstand; very nice.

Over thirty years ago!
There's a name people don't hear much. Kudos here, too. A very fluid, graceful routine. I like how each movement flows so smoothly into the next.

her form was as good as nadia's on bars and beam. Her beam just wasn't quite as difficult as nadia's, but I think she deserved the silver on beam over korbut.
