    Everyone who's following the gymnastics world probably remembers he deserved the gold on rings in Greece but the jury decided to make a nice gesture to the hosting country. I almost cried back then, I was so angry.

    I am from Greece living in America. Jovtchev clearly won gold in Athens, Tampakos didn't perform as great as Petrounias did in Rio when he got gold. Big difference in their routine. The Bulgarian is the among the greatest male gymnast of all-time.

      @gergister 7 лет назад +5

      He is not in his 20s. As of 2017 he is 44 years old Thracian gymnast. Nobody measures yet to his high quality performance for that age. Even more - he supersedes the majority of the younger generation by style, durability and complexity in his performances.
      Rename to just an Owl. Nerdy doesn't fit.
      Edit: Go and watch the Greek guy's performance and the mistakes. Even the simplicity and the bad landing would cost 0.2 points. Not even mentioning the rest of the mistakes.
