In the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games Nadia Comaneci became the first gymnast in Olympic history to be awarded the perfect score of 10.0 for her performance on the uneven bars.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men. =========================================

@stephaniescott7809 7 лет назад

+Rachel It's more to do with changes to the apparatuses and the scoring system. The bars are a lot closer together, so the gymnasts all did those belly bang moves whereas now they are able to do giants, etc. and gain more speed and so do more difficult moves including a lot taken from the men's high bar. They now use a spring floor so are able to do much more difficult tumbling passes than she could. Same with vault and the table vs the horse. The other big change is the way scoring now favours difficulty over perfection and artistry.

For the naysayers who reckon that Nadia's routines were "easy", may I point out that the equipment was completely different back then. The beam, as you can see in the video, is just a block of wood. No springs and no padding. Same with the floor - it's just that, a floor. The strength needed to do the tumbles and passes Nadia did so beautifully, and off a "dead" floor and beam no less, is phenomenal. And they used the old vaulting horse rather than the modern day vaulting table. I would venture an opinion that if Nadia were competing today, she would absolutely be up there with the best.

@chooseyourpoison5105 8 лет назад

Bella Barbee That's OK, no offence taken. Yes floors today do have lots of springs. But the floor here is the old padded floor. They are a leftover from the times when the Soviets dominated gymnastics. Although the modern sprung floors allow for more powerful tumbling, I kind of miss the grace and artistry that the old simple padded floor routines had.

In 1976 Nadia was more than a gymnast; she was a super star. She had everything; great gymnastic ability, balance, grace, beauty, and elegance. There have and will be lots of great gymnasts; most will be replaced and soon forgotten. There may never be another Nadia and like Jim Thorpe, she will never be forgotten. I don't know that Nadia is the best of all time but she was certainly the best in her in her time. No one before or since has accomplished as much in creating interest in women's gymnastics in the USA and in the world as Nadia. The spark that Olga Korbut started Nadia turned into a blazing fire.

@hanscyrus 5 лет назад

Nadia exuded femininity. Olga portrayed a more masculine style to her routine. Most all female gymnasts today still want to act like males in their routines to acquire points and the attention of the judges, but Nadia's coaches thought otherwise and won her heaps of gold by training her so. How to rectify the mindset of female gymnasts today? So that they don't want to act like guys? I don't know.

I do like watching her routines, but her smile and apparent effortless has definitely been coached into her as was the case with Olga Korbut. Her smile is not a product of her joy. In that sense I do like the fact that nowadays it is okay to look focused and in pain when doing your routines as this is more real to me.

@MZ_83 9 лет назад

MZ83 effortlessness I meant

@bwsmyhero 9 лет назад

MZ83, from what I heard at the time, Olga Korbut was NOT encouraged to do all that smiling and waving at the audience because attracting personal attention was discouraged by trainers who focused on team oriented effort. In fact, it was the general Soviet attitude in all then-Communist countries, Romania included, to focus on the team--not personal adulation from the audience. Korbut simply enjoyed the cheers of the crowd and returned it with her engaging personality, but privately, she was rebuked for doing it.

@MZ_83 9 лет назад

Dixie Burge I watched a documentary on Olga Korbut here on RU-vid (can't remember which one, though) in which she even admitted to being encouraged to smile during competition.

She was 14 and it was 1976. There was different equipment and training back then. Nadia may not be considered the best ever anymore, but for many, she is the only reason that we may watch gymnastics every four years.

@criley386 7 лет назад

+Gigi B it all factors into the reason for Nadia's perfect 10 and why the 10 point system was eventually phased out in favor the currently code of points(COP). The 10 point system favored execution WAY more than difficulty as long as the maneuvers in the routine were considered a part of elite gymnastics, and Nadia's routines set a standard for gymnastics for almost 30 years. While creating an elegance and appreciation for form comparable to that of ballet dancers, this standard slowly became more and more controversial as gymnasts with greater strength and stature were edged out of competition in favor of their smaller, younger, and more graceful counterparts. Compare Vera Caslavska in 1968 (28 years old) to Nadia(14). Women of Vera's age and stature like Aly Raisman of the U.S. and Catalina Ponor of Romania probably never would have made the Olympic stage 20 years ago because they have body types that favor difficulty.
