A member of the Soviet Union's women's gymnastic team at the 1976 Olympic Games, Nelli Kim was seventeen when she won two gold medals for her superb performance on the horse vault and for the floor exercises. The slow-motion camera highlights the best moments of her performance. It also shows the person behind the athlete, and the nervousness that is generated by the presence of a new star, Nadia Comeneci of Romania.

I fell madly in love with Nellie Kim during the Montreal Olympics. I wasn't there, but I watched on the telli all the exercises she performed. Such an exotic beauty, part Korean part Tartan, what a great combination. I had the opportunity to meet her during the Atlanta Olympics in 96. I became tongue tied and couldn't say much. But there she was, as beautiful as ever. Thank you for existing, Miss Nellie Kim. And congratulations on all your wonderful achievements.

That conversation she had with her coach says it all. "I'm fed up with the Olympics!" These girls work so hard to get there, I think sometimes the pressure is overwhelming to be at your best once you get there. They almost need a vacation before the Olympics. I wonder what Nelli's state of mind was leading up to that Olympics.

Sin embargo una de las responsables que la Gimnasia perdiera lo Artístico y se convirtiera en una competencia de piruetas acrobáticas

@shredgplayer5616 4 года назад

Jorge Reinoso Ibarra Desde los 60, la Gimnasia femenina ya implementaba elementos acrobáticos (básicos, pero, allí estaban), lo cual, se fueron desarrollando con el pasar del tiempo, aumentando tanto su dificultad como su variedad. Las 'acrobacias' es una de las cosas que más enriquece a la Gimnasia femenina, logrando así cautivar, sorprender, emocionar, etc (lo mismo que en la masculina), haciendo que esta disciplina se convierta en la más difícil en lo que respecta a 'deportes'. Lo que si es triste es que ya casi no se implementan 'coreografías' como tal en las rutinas de Suelo, tan sólo pequeños elementos 'sueltos'. Las rutinas de Suelo, tanto con acrobacias como con 'coreografías', eran algo brutal! Lo que si es digno de admirar y agradecer es la evolución que ha tenido la Gimnasia en lo 'técnico', y el grandisimo nivel y variedad que han alcanzado los elementos 'acrobáticos'.

Her performance put her in the spotlight, but it was her personality that captivated the media (and the public).

As duas ganharam a mesma quantia de ouros. Mas em competições diferentes. A Nellie na competição por equipes (junto com o resto do time dela) e na final por aparelhos (salto e solo) e a Nadia ficou com o ouro na final por aparelhos (trave e barras) mas ela ganhou o ouro na competição "principal" que era o individual geral. Então, esse ouro pesou muito mais e a Nadia recebeu muito mais atenção da mídia. Mas as duas tiveram ótimos resultados.

@celsovascao 2 года назад

@@DJDiegoGarcia Concordo em grande parte com sua análise. Acrescento, porém, que Nádia conseguiu sete notas DEZ contra duas de Nelli. Esse fato, bem como a vitória de Nádia no individual geral, acabaram por trazer todos os holofotes para ela. Suspeito também que o fato de Nádia ser romena (e não soviética) a tornava mais palatável para o público e a imprensa ocidental. Faço apenas um reparo: não havia necessidade de escrever "principal" entre aspas. O individual geral é SIM a mais importante disputa da ginástica já que a atleta tem que mostrar versatilidade e pontuar em todos os aparelhos.

@@jameshogan6142 You are right. I just find the whole interaction between them very natural and funny. Even though they are aware of the camera, they still go with their clash. Moreover, for the Soviet political elite the Olympics were not just a matter of sportsmanship and national pride, but also of what they perceived as an opportunity to showcase the presumptive "success" of their political system, as conveyed by the performance of their top athletes. In this regard, Nellie was so fresh and different, because she was taking the Olympic competition without that political burden, choosing instead to have fun, perform to the best of her talent, and not give a s..t about pressure, not even from her coach.

@jameshogan6142 2 года назад

@@jorgeponce5512 Nelli may have become distracted by being in Canada which would have been a big change from her homeland or perhaps she was discomfited that her main rival was only fourteen years old. Nelli herself was a year older in 1972 but was considered at that time too young to compete at senior Olympic level. I think the coach had a difficult job in influencing an adult 19 year old gymnast whereas a fourteen year old would have been more docile and easily directed. However he was a very good mentor as he convinced her to concentrate and give her best performance without alienating her either. When she said she was sick of the Olympics he said okay forget them but think! I want to see Kim. She responded with two perfect tens and a major contribution to the team performance to win three gold medals. If she had performed at the same intensity earlier she might well have shared the beam and the bars with Nadia and been the individual gold medallist in 1976.

Daiane dos Santos NUNCA foi campeã olímpica, apenas campeã no solo no Mundial de ginástica de 2003. Nellie kim ganhou três medalhas olímpicas de ouro em 1976.

Comparação esdrúxula e desnecessária. E sinceramente, Nellie era mais completa e tinha melhor execução.
