You're right ! Torvill and Dean's free program at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, performed to the music of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, became world famous. They received nine 6.0 marks for artistic impression,(three more for technical merit for a total of twelve 6.0 marks) the highest possible score and the only time ever that an all-perfect score was achieved. BRAVO !! : )
2023 now and over the years RU-vid keeps chopping up the movie into bits. Only the last 3 or 4 scenes are left. Now the only way to watch the whole thing is to "rent or buy ".
The heavy judge looks so well-composed and ladylike I can see why she only looked "familiar." (smile) Typically, she plays a wisecracking funnywoman. I believe she currently has a guest-starring role on Two and Half Men.
Wow... this is the first time that I watch a movie without subtitle... that makes happy! :) I really liked the movie, some years ago my uncle talked about Nadia and he said that she was (is) a girl that made history in the Olimpic Games, she's (was) a gymnast and somethings like that... Today, I watched the video of PERFECT 10... and began to read her biography... and had the chance to watch this excellent movie... 1 of my favorites from now on! Thanks for uploading it! and Bela is so sexy :)
Sonething I've always wondered--do you suppose that conversation really happened, where Nadia wonders out loud how it might have all been different if Karolyi had chosen Teodora instead as the one to perform in that Paris exhibition in '74?
When I watched this movie as a kid in the 80s, I used to wonder the same thing. Now I see it differently and more as what would have happened if Bela would have focussed and dedicated more time on Theodora. If the movie is accurate, Theodora was a better gymnast when she first joined. Yet throughout the movie, Bela dedicates more time working with Nadia, who becomes the star.
UNGUREANU was not in the team in 79 worlds, she retired after 79 university games in May, and after Karolis come back as national coaches they dind't want any gymnasts who were training in Bucharest but Nadia
Actuallly she did try to commit suicide at 15. The Romanian government at that time were holding her "prisoner" and she basically had a temporary moment of "insanity". She did admit it, but not until 1990.
Gosh, there's so many lies in this movie...so much exaggeration...Typically american. Blah! Nadia never tried to kill herself; it's not fair to picture her like this.
The gymnast who plays Emilia Eberle doesn't look at all like her, apart from her competition number... they didn't bother to check a photo. Instead they chose to mock the Soviets with that blond girl clapping in disgust.
It was an infected wrist, she was rushed to hospital right after that and couldn't compete on vault, bars and floor, but her beam score enabled Romania to win its first World team title. She came back a year later to win the silver at the '80 Olympics
Yes she did, she had a bad infection from a cut from the metal fastener on her uneven bar grips. Although her injury was not actually squirting blood everywhere as shown here 😜 that part was just added for dramatic effect
Romanii l-ar fi putut realiza mai bine (acest film). Actorii nu sunt chiar straluciti iar filmul contine multe inadvertențe. Totusi strainii au realizat ceva ce romanii n-au fost interesati sa faca.E enervant faptul ca nu este folosit imnul RSR la decernarea medaliilor.Am tradus si am acest film in format dvd desi e o copie la o cal un pic mai buna.
@BondGirl29 @BondGirl29 She didn't try to kill herself in the movie. She mistook the cup of cleaner with the cup of juice that she got out of the hallway and set down right next to the cup of cleaner that she poured prior to going into the hallway. Typical whatever country you are from. Not paying attention to a movie, and then blaming your own ineptitude on America.
