@QPHashSS77 By the fact that the USSR were in a class of their own in the 80's. Their team was just as deep as the US team is in present day. Mostepanova would've been the AA winner, she scored a perfect 40 in the all-around at the Friendship Games that year.
Mary Lou and Shushunova's floor routines were both worth 10.0 so the cleanest routine would have won. Remember that McNamara beat Mary Lou for the silver in the floor exercise final in 1984 with a simpler yet cleaner routine.
Love seeing that gimnástic....the perfect conbination between strenght and ballet. Not like now that Girls look like bodybuilders and her movements are pure force: disgusting and boring. The russian school in this era was perfect.... now the Thomas vault is totally insane and unsafed.....i just can't understand how it was ever permited...landing with your own neck?? 🤢
I don't like the Russian school, forcing the athletes to do dangerous routines. Never forget Elena Mukhina, who did the Thomas Salto and became paralyzed 1980.
She makes me feel so NOSTALGIC. I can't believe this FIERCE and ICONIC GYMNAST is gone. Devastatingly sad news!
very solid tumbling, especially her last pass!!
kras118 and fantastic choreography and dance throughout.
A escola russa de ginástica é sensacional,shushunova era belíssima e de uma delicadeza ímpar.R.I.P você brilhou e continuará brilhando
My forever favorite ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Rest in peace 🕍🕊✡
エレナシュシュノバさんの演技はダイナミック美しく女性らしさが溢れ醸し出されている感じですね!
力強さだけでなく、表現力もある。女子体操はこの時代に戻って欲しいです。バラクサノワ選手などこの時代のソビエトは素晴らしかった。
prettiest eyes ❤
Sorry, but Mary Lou could never have beat her in the 84 Olympics....or any Russian. Her difficulty.....NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Nothing to be sorry for
@@liukin95 where the scores were inflated AF.
*Natalia Yurchenko and Olga Mostepanova have entered the chat*

This routine was choreographed by The Hulk.
Yurchenko, Mostepanova, Shushunova,Gnauck....all were not partecipating in the 1984 Olympics. Retton was lucky.
Thomas Salto.
Although i knew, i kept my breath while she was doing it.
Essa rotina valia 10 com certeza
Did she win over Szabo?
How many years did she perform this routine???
Just a couple of years, '84 to 86. At the '86 World Cup she was already performing the one she used at the '87 Worlds
Have you checked 1983?
