Who was the greater gymnast - Olga Korbut or Nadia Comaneci?

Nadia by far. Olga was the last of the old school tumbler and calisthenics. Nadia really ushered in a new style.

They were and will always be both better than the massively overrated cunt Mary Lou Rotten.

Nadia, per R1. She really did change everything. Nadia also had less of an Iron Curtain energy, if that makes any kind of sense.

Nadia because of the bit on Robin Williams reality what a concept album.

I don’t remember any good jokes about Olga.

Olga was really innovative, but the truth is she failed several times at the wrong moments.

Nadia was flawless on Montreal and the press she had to endure at Moscow as unbelievable, she was called a cow just because at 18 she didn't have the body she had at 14

Olga vs Nadia not so interesting to me. SNL now versus what it once was is really depressing.

When Olga did that backflip on the balance beam at the 1972 Munich Olympics, little gay me almost wet my pants. I’ll never forget it.
