I felt for years that Nadia was the absolute best, but that may have been influenced by the score. After watching and re-watching both girls' entire Olympics (all routines), Olga in '72, and Nadia in '76, I think that Olga should have received a perfect 10 on the uneven bars (and maybe the beam, too), in 1972. I love both girls, then and now. This takes nothing away from Nadia, it just gives credit where credit (I believe) is due. .

Casey Jones, Simone Biles had a gymnastics move deemed illegal after she did it, and she is coming back strong after last Olympics when she lost equilibrium during her events.

Olga Korbut is the name I most associate with gymnastics excellency. after Ms. Korbut did Not get a 10 for that performance, but Nadia Comeneche Did get multiple 10s at the next Olympic Games!, …. i thought “i didn’t see Anything more spectacular than what Olga Korbut did! To this Day that moment stands out to me in Olympic history. It is as vivid as Kelly (?) Scruggs landing that vault on a broken foot!

Casey Jones, Simone Biles is perhaps, the the best ever. She is so good the powers that be handicapped her in competition. most of what she has done should have received 10's.
Teeny Weeny
Nadia Comeneci & Olga Korbut were the 2 best gymnasts in the world full stop.

i remember seeing her in london on a school trip and the osmonds were in london too!
Heather
Olga was my heroine all the way through; when she did that I was flipped! You did not win at gymnastics in those days uness you were Russian or Romanian. Despite the cold war I loved Olga. 9.8 was insulting.
kjs
She will always be the best from my many gymnastics viewing experiences. She set the bar for all who followed. Her smile was precious!
