In my opinion, Ekaterina Szabo much better than mary lou retton. In this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched the entire Gymnastics Olympics 1984, I was newly married home & pregnant with my first baby, & I was totally in awe of this extremely talented Ecaterina,
Without any doubt, she was the best gymnast at those Olympic Games.
I remember watching this and thinking that Szabo deserved to win. I was really young but I remember thinking this.
When you see Kati in slow motion, you can really appreciate her beautiful extensions in her flexibility. She is so graceful yet very strong.
Same here. I'll always consider Ecaterina Szabo the true 1984 Olympic All Around Champion.
For me Szabo is and always will remain the all round champion of 1984 even if Retton got the gold.
The true 1984 all around champion 🇷🇴
Kati Szabó was the best. And she is Hungarian. Period.🤫🇭🇺
I was a kid back then and had a crush on Ecaterina. I loved watching her compete. 🇺🇸
So much better to watch than anyone else of that era.
She was strong in all four events! Great athlete!
Amazing, she may have lost to Mary Lou, but as a gymnast myself I always saw her as elegance vs power, and yes beauty in its best form
I think you're right. I was in high school and remember watching rhe summer Olympics for the 1st time. Yes she was better.
I was 14 when this happened and I along with all other school mates(in India) fell in love with her, some chose Mary Lou Retton though, but the Szabo camp won by numbers. Ha ha ha!!
Wonderful and unique! I love for ever Kati!
That was so AMAZING!! Unbelivable

Good times. The 80's was the most beautiful gym. We had the grace, the 10, the dance, no robots like today. Till the bodies looked better. Today women with muscles we didnt see before. I miss the beauty of the gym, and we had difficults on beam and floor like Silivas and Shoushounova. Boginskaia was another i love and other Romanians Gabriela Potorac, former URSS Natália Latchenova, bulgarian like Diana Doudeva
Multumim romania pentru asa bogatiii numai sa stim sa le pretuim
