What does Nadia Comăneci think about Larisa Iordache’s exercise on the beam? – Another sports

“I was impressed by the return of Larisa. After three years without competition, it is extremely difficult to return to the current level in the world of gymnastics. I could not imagine that she could have returned to this level after injury and For gymnastics and tennis, I wake up with the night on my mind and promised to wake up to see her.

It is true that some countries did not participate in these European Championships, but I paid more attention to the difficulty, the execution and the score that he obtained. If we sit and watch what happened on the beam, his exercise is world competitive and Olympic medal. The fact that he has achieved it thanks to the will and determination he had to compete at this level says that he has not yet said everything he had to say about the sport.

He did (no, on the ground) the difficulty he did on qualifying day. Its difficulty starts from 5.7, to which the execution is added. Today they burned her with half a point, I do not understand why, but I am glad that this appeal was made and she managed to bring this gold medal, which put Romania on a par with Russia, in gold medals, 55 in the history of the European Championships and above the Russians in the total number of medals “, Comăneci said, on Digi24.

Nadia also praised the progress of junior gymnasts in the EC, saying she hadn’t seen such promising young athletes for many years.

“Many years have passed since I saw these young women in our country, with great potential, their base is very good. I understand that where these girls come from is someone who teaches them gymnastics properly. So the alphabet works. These juniors are still raw, but they have potential.
