An emphatic final lap by the Romanian team! Also, sadly, their last team title (to date). 0:00 Intro 0:35 Daniela Safronie 3:18 Oana Ban 5:31 Catalina Ponor
Yes, the Romanians! The Romanian team was always the most graceful and beautiful! Bravo! My favorites are Catalina Ponor and Andrea Raducan - the living legends!
@@nouezecetreihaidabbaa4335 Nadia is definitely one of the very best! But then, there are other Soviet and Romanian female gymnasts who can pretend for that title - the best in history: Latinina, Korbut, Shushunova and Raducan!
Romania has no money to send its athletes to the Olympics in Paris this summer, Prime Minister Ciolacu said last Friday. They will ask the National Lottery to issue a special ticket for this. Romania is eaten by corruption, so for a looong time we will not see a Ponor, a Răducanu or a Comăneci :(

@@costealucia5357 I'm not complaining, I'm stating facts. And don't tell me about "Revolution". I was born in 1969, I was a soldier at Boteni air unit in December '89. Where were you at that time, to teach me about "Revolution"? Oh, and it really wasn't a revolution. It was a coup.
The real drama of the Romanian gymnasts is the number of good gymnasts that never ever had the chance to shine because the competition for the national team was so strong. In those days we had enough good gymnasts for at least 3 national teams. For most of them was just hard work and little to no reward....
As an American, I love the Romanians so much- so graceful yet powerful . Andreea Raducan was such a sad situation. So many amazing gymnasts from this country.

It is so painful (for us, Romanians) to see the level of Romanian gymnastics 18 years ago compared to today. These exercises would be enough to be on any podium of today's great competitions.

Romanians are the best. So many amazing gymnast... Nadia Comăneci, Simona Amânar, Lavinia Miloșovici, Daniela Silivaș, Gina Gogean, Cătălina Ponor, Ecaterina Szabo, Sandra Izbașa and the list goes on

Catalina Ponor had a Superb choreography for here age (16 year old). Very mature, she is so talented! And N. Daniela Sofroine, she deserved that floor Silver! So consistent!

Am trăit aceste momente de aur. Este nemaipomenita senzatia când știi ca deja ai aurul chiar înainte sa primești nota. Și mai e ceva minunat sa vezi adversarele din Rusia și America cum își musca buzele de invidie:)))
Bravooo ,iubitele noastre gimnaste,mândria României!!!! Au trecut 20 de ani dar continuați să fiți mândria României alaturi de celelalte gimnaste dinaintea voastră și de după voi.Bravoo fete de aur!!
Each nation would love to see its own team win the gold, but no matter what your nationality, it's an incredible privilege to witness gymnastics at this level. Exceptionally well done, ladies! 💖
Your hope, unfortunatelly, won't come true. Not in 2024. Maybe much later, when the children of Romania who have the talent and dream to follow in Nadia's footsteps , ( and their parents ) will understand that becoming such a champion includes years and years of hard working, practice, and sacrifices of all kinds...And when those who rule Romania will give more credit, and finances , to gymnastics ( and this , for certain, won't happen in the near future).
Sofronie, Oana Ban and Catalina Ponor. What a fantastic sequence. From great, greater, greatest. Of course Oana' s performance here has sort of went into the Hall of Fame . Bravo Romania!
Ce vremuri frumoase,ce fete exceptionale,ce exercitii superbe erau si f.dificile,ne e dor de acele momete dar din pacate nu se vor repeta!atunci traiam cu emotie fiecare evolutie,azi ne uitam detasati cum castiga alte natiuni...ce pacat!
beautiful all three performances, enjoyed every bit of it. Well done Romania. You deserve a medal. Well done to the girls. Best team as described by the spokesperson.
Without a doubt, at that moment, Catalina was the best in the world, and honestly at peak, for what she did, not even Andrea Raducan would have beat her score Thank you Catalina
I think this is definitely the STRONGEST closing rotation by a team in the last 6-8 Olympics. I think China did a great job in Beijing 2008 but they had a few wobbles that cost them, but their lead was big enough to keep them very safe. Romania went all out and NAILED it.
Was indeed a banner year. Kind of the epitome and storyboard of the teams that were (Romanians)and the teams that were going to be(USA). Perhaps Romanians best overall team ever.
Not only the gymnasts were focused, the audiences were also ON FIRE! Clapping along the routines and big applause at the end of each of them. A very exciting team final ! By the way, the triple spin step out of Sofronie was so elegantly done. And Catalina 's performance felt like a big finale to this spectacular team competition.
Yeah for me this is a really great rotation, with good difficulty and hit routines, which built exhilarating energy throughout until the announcement of their win. But each routine isn't a full masterpiece, a mix of high difficulty, high quality execution, jaw dropping choreography, intense performance.
@Cendrillon Daniela I understand what you mean :-( I thought she qualified 3rd into the finals for AA? So surely she would have been a contender for the medals though. But to be honest I don't remember what she qualified going through to finals in 2003 worlds.
Bravo Romanians. I am a Romanian and a US Citizen and I love NADIA COMANECI… and all the Romanian gymnasts. However, my love is Simone Biles. She never disappoints. I’m in love with her. Bravo!
Como dice Paloma del Río, Catalina Ponor fue lo último que quedó de esos grandiosos equipos rumanos. Oana Ban, maravillosa también, lástima que no pudo estar en las finales individuales a causa de su lesión.
Las caras de las estadounidenses son todo un poema, como diciendo no podemos con estás!! Ojalá que la nueva generación de gimnastas rumana que se asoma logre recuperar esta grandeza. Ojalá se le devuelva el oro a Raducan,

Years and years of repetition and hard training! Their space awareness is incredible!
Hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of repetition. The lines are in these gymnast heads and muscle memory.

That looking down pose of Oana Ban at the beginning of her routine is such a moment. :D
too bad about that second tumbling pass. She could have won an AA medal had she not gotten hurt then
What a team!!!!!!!
Proud of these kids , back in that time !
Only the Russians can compete eye to eye with the fabulous Romanians in FX routine, IMO
