Look at the height Maxi Gnauk gets in her full in back out.With all the advances in equipment and safety these days and in particular floor it astonishes me how she achieved that in particular because she was a tall girl for gymnastics. She deserves a medal just for that in my opinion.

Is this the same stadium as the 1987 European championships

[@admetric]

No they were held in Moscow in 1987.

To give the gold on beam to Gnauck over Ilienko was scandalous. 1981 had the worst judging in gymnastics history.

Gawd! What an awful venue- a cycling track! Not a great place to warm up!
