Another perfect routine by an older, significantly taller Nadia (compared to 76). Gymnastics is divided into a pre-Nadia era dominated by the Soviet Union, and the post-Nadia era which followed the 76 Olympics and saw gymnastics becoming one of the most popular Olympic sports as young girls in Europe and USA, inspired by Nadia's perfect performances, joined newly formed gymnastic academies across the USA and western Europe. Before anyone rushes to compare this performance to recent routines, keep in mind that this is the compulsory routine that all gymnasts had to perform on first day of team competition and event qualification. Difficulty level is the same for all gymnasts so scoring here is focused on technique, form, and execution and the score received will carry over to all finals. In addition, the beam itself was different than today's apparatus - it was not sprung to help with tumbles as it is today and had no leather or suede cover to prevent slipperiness.

Yeah it would be interesting to see both gymnastics compulsories and figure skating figures again. Both require more control and finesse and would probably make the sport better. But they wouldn’t because it makes competitions too long and isn’t as fun for the public to watch.

I was born in late 1978, so by the time i was old enough to appreciate gymnastics, Nadia's carrer was over, but she was my inspiration for becoming a gymnast. I must have watched a show on her or reruns of her in the Olympics as a 5 or 6 year old. It was like magic to me. She was so incredible! I wanted to be just like Nadia. She inspired so many people just like me. In my opinion this woman is the GOAT.

We cannot forget Nadia Komanechi Now I am 57 but still remembering her magnificent feats that she achieved in gymnastics

A very artistic gymnast with perfect executions. The icon of gymnastics. A beauty with incredible strength and endurance. She made Olympics immortal.

So fluid and elegant, that pirouette!!

For me, there will never be a gymnast like her. Till today i am filled with admiration

Unlike Montreal crowd who adored Nadia, just like the rest of the world, the Moscow crowd were very hostile toward Nadia. At 1.04 there was someone from the crowd who shouted: Fall !(in Russian) and others laughed. No wonder Nadia did not want to compete again in Moscow in the 1981 Worlds saying she did not feel comfortable there.

You should look at Agnes Keleti. I absolutely adore Nadia, but Agnes is incredible. She's Hungarian and won her first National title in 1937, at age 16. She would've competed in the 1940 Olympics, but WW2 prevented it. She had to secretly escape to the remote countryside using false identity papers and lost years of competing in her prime. She eventually escaped the country altogether. But Agnes made it to her first Olympics in 1952 when she was 31. She won 4 medals. Like Nadia, she was groundbreaking, her control and artistry was amazing. And her record speaks for itself, I can only imagine the medals and titles she would've won had she competed all those years at the top of her game. She was still winning Olympic medals at age 35, when she took home 6 more. It's a crime she's not remembered as a gymnast. She's still alive and is 100 years old.

Cu tot respectul pentru cea mai mare gimnastă a tuturor timpurilor, exercițiul prezentat în acest clip este unul executat ireproșabil dar de o dificultate redusa. În zilele noastre cu acest exercițiu nu ar fi impresionat cu absolut nimic. Se pare că în zilele noastre, sportul a a evoluat mult, cerințele și așteptările sunt mult mai mari. Fotbal, tenis, gimnastica și multe alte sporturi și-au ridicat ștacheta. Excepție, din păcate face boxul - singurul sport care a involuat după părerea mea. Cel puțin la "grei" categoria regină a acestei discipline. Este doar o părere personala, nu trebuie să fie și un adevăr universal. PS am urmărit ulterior și evoluția ei la bârnă din Montreal cu 4 ani înainte. Aceea într-adevăr a fost una de 10

It’s was made to be simple because that’s all that was expected from the female gymnasts at the TIME on BALANCE BEAM! Even if you look at Cathy Rigby’s performance in 1970 on beam…she’s incredible and she at least does a few front and back walkovers but she’s ALSO not doing double back flips in pike position!!! And those weren’t at compulsories!!! Yes…back handsprings and flips have been done on balance beam since 1972 but it started to get harder and much more complicated when coaches and gymnasts started adding MUCH HARDER AND HIGHER DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY in their routines! Daniela Silivas was one of the( if not very first) female gymnasts who did the first two back flips with two twists before landing on the beam!!! That move didn’t happen until Seoul in 1988!!! That’s not what Nadia is doing here and that’s not what she or ANY FEMALE gymnasts was doing on beam…at that time! It hadn’t even been tried yet until mid to late 80’s…PERIOD!!! That doesn’t mean Nadia couldn’t had done it herself but by that time she had retired!! I’m her time…gymnastics was more about fluidity and gracefulness than strength and power!!!! Today’s female gymnasts weigh WAY MORE than they did back in 70’s! Cathy Rigby weighed 84 pounds!!! Simone biles weighs 105!!! Complete difference in MUSCLE TONE!!!
