Memorable Olympic Moments: Nadia Comaneci |
 | | Comaneci was supposed to contend with the Russian juggernaut but no one, including coach Bela Karolyi (who later coached Mary Lou Retton in 1984 and the Kerri Strug-led American women's team in 1996) could have imagined what was to come. |
| | The final gold came in the all-around competition, with the Soviet juggernaut chomping at her heels. |
| | In the end, the Russians wouldn't be denied as Kim won the vault and the floor exercises (with two perfect scores of her own) and then led her squad to the all-around team gold medal. |
