A return to the golden era of gymnastics, and likely the sport’s most entertaining finishes ever! A marathon of perfection, the results were decided only in the very last rotation and were closer than any previous finish in Olympic history.

This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest moments in gymnastics of all time

this was the first Olympics I watched with my late maternal Grandmother the last Olympics we watched together was 2020 Tokyo held in 2021 she passed in Jan 2022 aged 88 my favorite Gymnasts from this Olympics are Boginskaya Silivas Phoebe Mills etc. though the first summer Olympics I remember vividly was Barcelona in 1992 my favorite lady Gymnasts from 1992 were Boginskaya Miller Okino Li Li of China Onodi of Hungary etc.

Love this historic rivalry but I’m still an unapologetic fan of Svetlana Boguinskaya first and foremost. Loved the Belarusian Swan’s gymnastics the most!

I just loved Silivas for the joy in her work. She always seemed so thrilled to be up there. Shushunova always seemed so stoic.

Nunca veremos algo similar 😢 muy técnica la Silivas pero Sushunova la dificultad era de otro mundo

Por eso Elena fue la campeona absoluta de estos juegos olímpicos, por el grado de dificultad que imprimo en cada uno de los apararos, siempre superior a los de Daniela ...

Those two wobbles on beam cost Silivas in the end. They were pretty severe bobbles and she was over scored at 9.9 by a tenth at least . And she didn’t stick the vault . She was weaker on 2/4 in my book , tied on 1 floor , and won UB.

The mistakes that Silivas had on Beam took the gold away. She always gave a good performance on Beam, but not that day.

Bei der Landung beim Sprung frage ich mich warum das eine 10.00 ist? Silivas hatte in meinen Augen zwei perfekte Sprünge mit perfekter Landung. Für mich unverständlich und es tat mir echt für Silivas leid. 😢

Cuando acaban los ejercicios de barras la Silivas excelente y la cara de la Shushunova como diciendo que bien lo hizo. Y sí.
Felicitaciones a Silivas.
