So this is the famous meet where the Romanians were ahead, but were forced to leave when Nicolae Ceaușescu demanded they return home. I had always heard about this meet, but I had never seen it. Thanks for posting!
rest in peace Elena Mukhina. You gave your life for your nation, and they treated you like a consumable asset. They threw you away after pushing you to your injury and nobody ever paid for the damage they did to you. You will always be remembered, just like "your killers": Your soviet government and your ukrainian(?) Klimenko coach that used your life in order to achieve glory.
I don't like when comparing Nadia and Elena. Both are great, even Nadia said after watching Elena - "she is going to be a champion". I belive they could be great friends out off gym hall.
Yep, if Elena was alive today, she would've been very supportive and friendly to everyone, and a great mentor to the modern gymnasts, just like Nadia is. It's so sad that she had to live paralyzed for so many years.
@@fortheloveofcats2462 There is one movie when Elena teaches and helps young girls witch some gym skills and she is such a gentle and kind teacher. When I think about her story it makes me cry...
Nadia has Bart Conner, a great gymnast too,his Medals are impressive. There was no Hero for Elena, a broken neck, and her Grannie whom tried her best Heart breaking .
Because they are literally competing against each other in this competition. I mean, comparing one athlete to the other athlete is kinda the whole point sports isn’t it?
Una gimnasta muy Adelantada a su época. La más talentosa gimnasta soviética de todos los tiempos. Traslation in english or spanish, please. MUKHINA the best of the best.
Елена хранила письмо от Нади в стеклянной шкатулке. Не надо сравнивать Елену и Надю.. Сейчас это письмо хранится в клубе ЦСКА, в клубе котором занималась Елена.
Its first press conference for Lena after her first big international competition. Like always she doesn't talk much. - This is your first big international competition right? - No i competed in other internationals before but yes so big is the first one. - What did you make happy? - Everything, this is so new and unexpected for me. - Now you are starting again trainings ? - Like always.... - Did you think that you could win? - No i even didn't think about that.... - Whats is for you the sport - more happyness or suffering? - Probably happyness....
@@user-LuGymnastics yes, she is in fact my favorite gymnast of all time. Her incredible accomplishments are always overshadowed. Thank you so much for the amazing content, I love this era of gymnastics, the perfect combination of beauty and impressive power elements.
You keep showing All-Around routines then the Event Final Scores...Romanian's did not compete in Beam and Floor Finals as their coach removed the Romanian gymnasts from the competition and flew home because the judging was so horrible. All-Around and Events are two different competitions on different days.
These are all event finals. Nadia's scores on vault were changed later to 9.80 and 9.70 but still not enough for gold because Kim's score was also raised by 0.10 point. That decision infuriated the romanian president who ordered them to leave. Before the decision was made, Nadia partecipated in the UB finals tying for gold with Mukhina and later on did a 10 perfect routine on beam. Before the medals ceremony on beam, the Romanians left the competition so Nadia was disqualified and never got her fairly deserved gold on beam. Nadia also qualified for the floor final with the highest score (9.85).
Because of KGB and SECURITATE ! Because of colaborations between Soviet and Roumanian spies and secret services! If Roumanians not had left (that was NOT theire wheel) they would be world champions! Not Soviets! That is why!
Don't tell nonsense thats not playing Poker. Considering answers probably no one like to check history in the archives sport news 🗞️. It was the Romanian president who wanted them to leave. 🙃 Thats fact.... He didn't like the scores.🥴🤣 Well....no matter she received the highest points on beam he didn't like that Nellie had gold on vault. But looking well Nellie had 2.... vaults with higher based score one of them done for first time in international competition. I ve researched for all vaults in that tournament. Nadia did what everyone was doing - Nellie more.😉 In UB if someone tell that Comaneci had better routine and difficulty than Lena will be lounging all day long. Its not just to watch who has better legs in your head.😉Its about difficulty in sport ... being with serious program.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Elena wasn’t even close to Nadia. Not even Kim. They’re form is bad. They might of been good later on but not in this meet. I’m glad the Romanians left, it was joke all those high scores to put Russians first. Elena only won those gold medals because Nadia wasn’t there.
Dont agree. Do you know what Difficulty in gymnastics mean? Nadia didn't have that....in every apparatus Lena had more + elegance. Nadia for me never had that only when was 14 in 75-76 was good on the podium. Later...in my opinion far away from fluidity and harmony. And if someone received political high score was her 10... Everyone knows that as they were against the Soviet and Americans , Europeans all were happy to price someone else. So ...good luck in your bubble. 😁🙌
Видно, что вы в гимнастике ничего не соображаете! То, что делала Елена Мухина, это невероятно, это сверхчеловек! Это очень сильно, смело у неё нет страха! Безусловно Елена Мухина лучшая!
@@user-LuGymnastics I'm sorry but there was nothing "elegant" about Lena's form. Nadia had the most perfect lines and elegance of any gymnast - and that includes Simone Biles.
You are wrong .. Elena beat Nadia at the World Championships I believe in 77 or 78. Go do research . She was as good if not better and never got to prove herself like Nadia before the Russians killed her and brushed it under a rug. Do homework before spouting facts.
The whole point is that she was equally good if not better than Nadia. You can clearly see that in this video. She never got to prove herself. Have some grace. She died for the sport. Nadia did not.
The amazing Elena Muchina ⭐ !!!! You are a timeless LEGEND. Rest in Peace Heavenly Angel 😇🕊️
I didn’t know she was deceased that just makes me so sad. Too young
The pressure those kids endured on behalf of their nation is astounding.
Great video
So heartbreakingly true.😞
You will never be forgotten beautiful elena. Your my favourite gymnast. Shine bright in heaven ⭐️
I love Elena 💕 Such an amazing person/gymnast
So this is the famous meet where the Romanians were ahead, but were forced to leave when Nicolae Ceaușescu demanded they return home. I had always heard about this meet, but I had never seen it. Thanks for posting!

Unfortunately that moment was movie one.....she didn't have the strength to help because of her chronic tiredness. Surrealism in movie....🥲
@@user-LuGymnastics yes this movie was marketing thing ...

Elena, a beautiful Angel who suffered a lot in this world, rest in peace with God 🙏🤍n
Наша Леночка, наша красавица лучше всех!❤ Покойся с миром солнышко!💔❤️🩹
Awesome video. Both great gymnasts. I remember watching this as it happened.
Why compare and contrast two great gymnasts? Let's celebrate both of them!
You are right probably 👍
Why not? 🤔
Don't like it?
Don't watch it.😁
Pretty simple concept.😂
Because they are literally competing against each other in this competition. I mean, comparing one athlete to the other athlete is kinda the whole point sports isn’t it?
Las barras de Elena eran preciosas
The floor exercise was SO beautiful and graceful. I've never seen anything like it.
Excelente!!!👏👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆
Que Gran vídeo 😚😚😚
Muchas Gracias 🥰😍😘
Es Buenísimo 🥇🙏
Nadia for ever..!!🎉
Is the Perfection .❤
Always looked unhappy and hungry, and delicate. Her Coach was a Very cruel Man and the rest, say no more.

huh? 🤔
Nadia was in great shape considering the circus she must have experienced after the '76 Olympics.
Well Lena didn't have nice experiences too unfortunately.... They both didn't.
@@user-LuGymnastics😞
Nadia won the all around competition, Mukhina was second, Kim was third.
Amé a Elena Mukhina.
La mejor, lástima que la usaron, la exprimiero y la presionaron tanto que entregó su vida por la gimnasia. ❤
Elena muy grande...............
Elena was the best
YLENA MUKHINA 8 ❤
Jelena Mukhina: 8❤
Girl that music sounds like it's from a bovine slaughter house.
Hah it was other music but because of copyright i had to put something from RUclips unfortunately.....🤣

Her answer to the last question she was asked ...
Damn. 😞💔😞
Música tenía mejor coreografía pero nadia superaba en ejecución y perfección ✨️ ❤
В первом эпизоде спасли лену разновысокие брусья. У нади была там малюсенькая помарка при соскоке, и судья это заметили.
From what I've seen, gymnastics must be one of the hardest and most dangerous sports, yet most of the competitors are just kids.
This music doesn’t fit the subject matter
Las dos eran Exepcionales en la Gimnasia, pero Yhlena era mas Perfecta y creativa. Te Amo Yhelena siempre te Amare🧡🧡
Elena was so insanely good, I hate the fact people only remember her for her accident.

низкая база из-за этого
@@user-LuGymnastics Видимо да.
ha think Nelle kim is still pissed at that flower girl?
Does anyone know why Romanians left?

Because of KGB and SECURITATE ! Because of colaborations between Soviet and Roumanian spies and secret services! If Roumanians not had left (that was NOT theire wheel) they would be world champions! Not Soviets! That is why!
Because as usual, Russians where cheating.
