MLR was definitely overscored on that floor routine...two very obvious mistakes that were overlooked...never should have been a 10...Szabo was the true all around champion in 1984...i will die on this hill ❤❤

My love of gymnastics started when I was 6 watching this! Loved Mary Lou but also Julianne and Kathy Johnson too! They don’t get enough credit. This started the US boom of gymnastics here! My favorite gymnasts of all time are: Nadia, Mary Lou, Olga K (that bars omg), E. Mukina 😢, Christy Philips (beam), Elena S (RIP 😢), Daniela Silivas,Svetlana boginskaya, Shannon Miller and I really admire Oksana Chusovitina who is literally almost 50 and has competed in 8 OLYMPICS! In my opinion…she’s the GOAT 🎉by far in longevity! Simone of course is amazing…but I prefer the more artistic gymnastics.

Szabo watched MLR's FX routine from the vault runway. You can see her at the beginning talking to her teammate and watching at 38:40 and then alone at 39:40. What you don't see in this footage but is available in others online is that she applauded for Mary Lou Retton when she finished.

Times were different back then, with lower judging standards. If you look for perfection, and in particular, expect to see stuck landings because a routine officially scored a 10, you will find flaws. It all began with Nadia Comaneci, who scored the first 10 in Olympic history with her compulsory bar routine -- despite failing to stick her dismount (she slid slightly on her landing). If it were any other gymnast at another time, she would have been deducted for that flaw. As it was, gymnastics scores became highly inflated after that: in the 1980's, judges were handing out 10s like candy bars.

This was a period in gymnastics when the team compulsories and optionals counted in the final scores. Mary Lou Retton was given excessively high scores for all four compulsory routines (her form, toe point and amplitude on the simple skills left a lot to be desired) and her optional bar and beam routines were given an average of 9.8s, when they really deserved 9.6s/9.7s (at least her beam did). Her floor routine here was given a 10 with 2 visible errors and poor dance?! Yes, Ecaterina Szabo had a fall on bars (and she was hammered for it) during the team competition but she was valiant, came back with a vengeance and had substance in all her routines. Mary Lou fans point out her "cowboyed" double backs. She was deducted for it on floor. While the judges ignored Mary Lou's bent knees on bars, wavering on beam, landing mistakes on floor and "scoot" on her "perfect" 10. Ecaterina Szabo was the real Olympic champion.

It's not really a good way to emphasize quality when there's no room for distinction between decent, good, very good and excellent.

Unfortunately Mary Lou was also responsible for endorsing that monster Bela and his toxic abuse. Let’s face it, Mary Lou was lucky that the Russian women, who were dominating the sport at that time, were not competing otherwise she would’ve had no chance at gold and a generation of girls would’ve been saved by the Karolyi abuse and subsequent Nassar abuse.

Agree 100% ...Szabo was robbed at these Olympics...Szabo was the true all around champion. Agree about Biles too...powerful athlete but not a esthetically pretty to watch but that goes for gymnastics in general. It's no longer artistic gymnastics...basically just power tumbling now....very sad to see what this once beautiful sport has morphed into.😢
I think the romanian girl was better

+german perez Like Cathy Rigby said, if Kati hadn't fallen off the UB during Team Finals, the gold medal would've been hers.

+e2theeyepie I know right? I had some respect for the Romanians until I learned all the shit they tried to pull. Like trying to pass Ecaterina off as another girl in, what, 1980??

Her form was not as good as Mary Lou's. A lot of leg separation

She wad on the first two. But weak on the others.
