The bars are a lot closer together, so the gymnasts all did those belly bang moves whereas now they are able to do giants, etc. and gain more speed and so do more difficult moves including a lot taken from the men's high bar. They now use a spring floor so are able to do much more difficult tumbling passes than she could. Same with vault and the table vs the horse. The other big change is the way scoring now favours difficulty over perfection and artistry.

For the naysayers who reckon that Nadia's routines were "easy", may I point out that the equipment was completely different back then. The beam, as you can see in the video, is just a block of wood. No springs and no padding. Same with the floor - it's just that, a floor. The strength needed to do the tumbles and passes Nadia did so beautifully, and off a "dead" floor and beam no less, is phenomenal. And they used the old vaulting horse rather than the modern day vaulting table. I would venture an opinion that if Nadia were competing today, she would absolutely be up there with the best.

In 1976 Nadia was more than a gymnast; she was a super star. She had everything; great gymnastic ability, balance, grace, beauty, and elegance. There have and will be lots of great gymnasts; most will be replaced and soon forgotten. There may never be another Nadia and like Jim Thorpe, she will never be forgotten. I don't know that Nadia is the best of all time but she was certainly the best in her in her time.

Nadia exuded femininity. Olga portrayed a more masculine style to her routine.

How to rectify the mindset of female gymnasts today? So that they don't want to act like guys? I don't know.

When I look at people like Simone Biles, the main emphasis is body strength and musculature. Even at Rio, Biles wobbled. None of the gracefulness you see here. I think Comaneci’s uneven bars routine was harder than anything I saw in 2021. I fail to understand why Biles calls herself the GOAT.

MZ83, from what I heard at the time, Olga Korbut was NOT encouraged to do all that smiling and waving at the audience because attracting personal attention was discouraged by trainers who focused on team oriented effort. In fact, it was the general Soviet attitude in all then-Communist countries, Romania included, to focus on the team--not personal adulation from the audience. Korbut simply enjoyed the cheers of the crowd and returned it with her engaging personality, but privately, she was rebuked for doing it.

@criley386

7 жыл бұрын

+Gigi B it all factors into the reason for Nadia's perfect 10 and why the 10 point system was eventually phased out in favor the currently code of points(COP). The 10 point system favored execution WAY more than difficulty as long as the maneuvers in the routine were considered a part of elite gymnastics, and Nadia's routines set a standard for gymnastics for almost 30 years. While creating an elegance and appreciation for form comparable to that of ballet dancers, this standard slowly became more and more controversial as gymnasts with greater strength and stature were edged out of competition in favor of their smaller, younger, and more graceful counterparts. Compare Vera Caslavska in 1968 (28 years old) to Nadia(14). Women of Vera's age and stature like Aly Raisman of the U.S. and Catalina Ponor of Romania probably never would have made the Olympic stage 20 years ago because they have body types that favor difficulty.

I saw this in 1976 live. She is the best ever.

Every single movement is perfect. Pure athleticism, grace, art, class. 10/10

For anyone who says there are better gimnasts than Nadia i tell you one thing, you can't beat perfection. Maybe just get to that level. There is nothing higher then what Nadia did.

I agree that what I said was harsh. I do respect modern gymnasts. My post makes it sound like I don't. I respect the performers because what they do is amazing and incredibly hard. I couldn't physically do what they do because of my own physical limitations. But modern gymnastics itself is different. That's why I criticized it and not the gymnasts. Gymnastics today has increased in difficulty. But difficulty does not make something more beautiful to see. It's just harder. If you watch gymnasts back then, they walk onto the platform and begin their routine without hesitation and with striking confidence. Today, because gymnastics is just hard, gymnast walk onto the platform and wait and wait and wait until they are ready. To me, they look like the routine is daunting and their whole life depends on it. When I watch the routines, I see stiff faces and stiff everywhere else. It's like I can feel their tension and unease. So, that is why I said, "Gymnastics today sucks." There is no grace. Just another daunting routine each gymnast has to complete.

It was fasinating to watch the control as they skated on a curved line, circles, figure 8's, etc ... The announcers used to educate the viewers on outside and inside edges, etc... It was fun to watch the concentration on the skaters faces. When they finished, so many were emotional wrecks as it took a toll on them. It was the hardest of the 3 segments of the competition. In Gymnastics, they had compulsories. No more though. These fundamental skills were judged and part of the overall score.
