NADIA COMANECI IS THE BEST EVER AND NADIA COMANECI IS BETTER THEN BILES❤

very difficult to compare Simone to Nadia; you cannot use the number of medals (i.e. "the most decorated") because back in the 70's, there was only 1 world's championship per 4 years (just like the Olympics); Nadia won 3 European Championships (each 2 years apart, in 1975, 1977 & 1979), which back then, were the equivalent of the World's because the only power in women's gymnastics was from the communist block (USA was not a power back then; China was not competing internationally, etc); so the top spots were always shared amg very few countries (the Soviet Union, East Germany, & a few others). Back then, the balance beam & bars were not as high so dismounts such dble backs could not be performed; the bars were much closer so a lot of arial skills could not be performed; the floor mat had no spring underneath, so tumbling cannot be compared. Also, gymnasts were not allowed to take a breather before their tumbling runs (back then it was an immediate deduction if a gymnast stopped on the beam or the floor even for a moment). Nadia was the 1st to link tumbling skills on the beam; she was the 1st to change direction while tumbling; she showed the world was true control was, even with basic skills: instead of doing the back walkover fast on the beam like everyone else, she did it so slowly that she made everybody realize that it took + training to do it slowly than fast. She was the 1st gymnast to introduce change of direction in beam tumbling. She won the indiv gold medal even with a floor routine below her usual skills (she was so much above everybody else that she left out her dble back for a dble twist). She won the indiv silver medal at Moscow in 1980, even with a fall on the bars. Look at the 1976 pictures: you can see, while Nadia is performing on the bars, judges from the other 3 apparatus turned arnd to watch her. She made not only the crowd, but also the judges turn arnd to watch her. The Soviet national coach was fired after the 1976 Olympics for not being able to produce gymnasts of that level. For years after 1976, gymnasts from countries arnd the world copied her style. Elena Muchina spoke of the immense pressure on her shoulders to beat Nadia at the 1980 Olympics. Her Romanian teammates own their gold medal at the team competition of the 1979 World's championship to her beam routine. Nadia made other gymnasts wanting to be like her. Simone is by all means a gymnast above her contemporaries. Both Nadia & Simone share this confidence & unique relaxed way of truly gifted people. I admire Simone for prioritizing her mental health over the number of medals, & for so many other reasons. Nadia & Simone both have paved the way for their fellow gymnasts & I believe that trying to make one above the other is missing the point of the gift they gave the world. Both have showed commandable commitment to their sport. Most gymnasts who compete for medals end up burned out. Simone & Nadia have competed for the love of the sport, & thereby have raised above the Olympic entreprise that has reduced athletes to machines.

Nobody will ever touch what Nadia did! The greatest gymnast ever to walk this earth. There will never be another one like her. ❤❤❤❤❤

Nadia has more much more grace, respect and talent than the other !!!

@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuckBY FAR! AT EVERY LEVEL OF THIS SPORT!!!!!!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

❤❤.Un talent enorm

@@gaelgarciabernal2434 She's also on social media in the modern era.

It must be tough to achieve such a feat at such a young age and then having to keep up with that level

Neither did Nadia. Her theme song was the theme to the daytime drama The Young and the Restless They're both quality athletes.

@@janetmiller2980so effing what?! Nadia revolutionized the sport. Every competition in the world was televised because of the interest she created. I’m not begrudging anyone else’s success. Nadia was light years ahead of her time. At 14!!! What was Simone doing at 14?!

@@paulbutler1873 Simone Biles was most likely a junior elite at 14. Comparing Comaneci and Biles is a rather pointless effort. The rules of elite gymnastics had changed by the time Simone Biles became a senior competitor. While young women before about the 90s could compete as senior elites at 14, the rules changed to a 16 minimum for senior elite and international competition. Most likely though, Simone was a junior elite. The rules have changed so international senior competitors are older, and the revamped scoring system discourages artistic creativity in favor of athletic difficulty, but I still believe it's crass to diss the younger generation of gymnasts. Ms. Comaneci had more of an artistic grace and peaked early--yet by 22 was burned out and retired. There are several athletes still competing into the 20s and beyond, even after marriage and motherhood, and I think that's great! Have a great rest of your night.

Nadia maravilhosa❤

Her performance was legendary !

Nice story but the rule changes applied to everyone and Nadia though impressive in Montreal had some real gift scores that she didn't deserve after 1976

That's how it is when you are the GOAT 😎😎

You are correct melani monica.

You are correct,melani monica.

@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck. You wish! No comparison. Different power style of gymnastics now. The sport has evolved as it should! Different era.

@@beulahokonkwo I KNOW...BUTTER BUNS🥰🥰 NADIA IS MUCH BETTER

@@giffysstiffy8874giffytuck Prima di tutto molto più graziosa, un fisico perfetto. Se osservate nei ultimi anni,le ginnaste sono più muscolose, non hanno un fisico longilglinio. Io ho 75 de anni è in gioventù ero una ginnasta anch'io,certo che le regole sono cambiate e nello stesso tempo gli esercizi sono molto più difficili. Comunque NADIA RIMANE L'UNICA CHE HA PRESO 10.SPEAK NOW!!!!!

​@camelianedelcu5640 luckily there are no points for pretty bodies. Why? Because it's irrelevant. There's no comparing today's and yesterday's gymnasts, it's completely evolved
