The commentators from this era never fail to crack me up!!! 🤣🤣

[@em_mkay]

true, but no commentator can compare to Monica Phelps

[@akimbohr]

Perfectly executed...

[@RS-be7iy]

I remember this, and her full twisting Yamishita vault. Thought she was amazing, memorable, and much later the stories came out about the drugs that damaged her and teammates. I believe they sued the gov (?). She became an MD. How we (my college team) loved her work .

[@saragrant9749]

Sadly that was a common theme among many sports in that era with those countries. In track and field there are many older records that still carry a huge question of taint.

She was amazing

Olga Korbut should have come first.

[@foodculture6355]

No she should not have.

[@saragrant9749]

No, as a matter of fact she shouldn’t have. She had a hesitation on one of her moves, and a much easier dismount. This was true gold medal work.

[@sqlcomp]

She was tiny!

[@Pupda]

Two inches taller than Korbut though…
