It is WILD how this sport has progressed; it's about 50 years since Nadias first perfect 10, and at that point in time this was considered absolute perfection. Like it was the best anyone could imagine any human in the world doing on bars. Like she must have spent months if not years perfecting that skill. And now an elite level gymnast can look at that iconic video and think; "I bet I can get that done by 4 o'clock!" and ACTUALLY DO IT!?! You're incredible Sophia, I hope you sometimes take a moment and realize how incredible the things you can do actually are! Truly an inspiration!
In 1976, I was 22 Y.O. and I remember that many people (including me), after the work, rushed to home only with the hope to see the Divine Nadia; I didn't know anything about Gymnastic but I was able to understand what she is was doing ... HYSTORY; for me she was a Goddess (and still is). I'm very happy that you paid homage to her with this video .... compliments to be able to do that famous salto! I have subscribed!
i did gymnastics up to level 5 and stopped when i was 8 years old. i am almost 23 now and recently i have been getting recommended gymnastics videos and watching any gymnasts channels i see. your passion and fire moved me so much i wish i never stopped :( you are so incredible and i hope somehow i can get back into this beautiful sport someday ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Nadia is my favorite gymnast of all time and she would be so proud of your achievement. Thanks for honoring her in this way. (and you won one more subscriber today!)
Seems like Nadia was level with the bar using her legs as the axis. She started the salto while was below the bar, and finished level. You made it harder on yourself treating it like a Gienger. You have to bend your waist and stay closer to the bar, hence you’ll complete the somersault quicker. I used to do that move when I was a kid on the playground, (it was not nearly as beautiful, and there were no toe points) I didn’t know it was hard. No one told me that I was actually risking my life doing giant swings over those rubber mats on blacktop. You’re beautiful and you have kind eyes.
Lol you should make more of these videos! They are so fun to watch! Thats how I became a fan, I watched your death loop one and I loved it! I forgot to sub lol, I will rn, i’ve been a fan since 1k :) love you ❤
I don't really belong here because I play football (soccer for the americasn) and have never seen a video of you, but I love watching gymnastics and my algorithm suggested your video. I have to say, I was blown away by your energy! I love how passionate and excited and full of energy you are! I love your attitude and it really shows that you love your sport and that's really motivating myself in playing football!
Sick!!! cant believe you nailed that in one session!!!! Nadia is a beast I watched the 10's live. now 55 or something just starting to train again!!!!!!! dance acro parkour etc
I am watching your videos with my daughter who is 7 and training to become a gymnast. We live in Onesti, Romania (Nadia's hometown) and I was glad to see such a video and hear you speak about her with so much admiration. She truly is a role-model, not only as a gymnast, but as someone who escaped the communist regime and went through so much and still managed to let her true self shine. PS. The song you enjoy in your videos, Dragostea din tei, is also in Romanian. Thank you, Sophia! Returning flame here.
I did gymnastics from the 70's to mid 80's I was 14 when I quit and YES back in the day bars was insane how much my hips bruised from doing "wraps" when you still hung on to the top bar and let your legs pike over the lower bar to beable to spring back up to a straddle kip.. now you all just fly back and forth with the greatests of ease.
I did gymnastics from the very late 70s through the 80s. My hips were always bruised but I don’t ever remember it hurting. I had a low balance beam in my bedroom. I would drag it outside and put my bed mattress under it when I was learning new skills. The beam was wood with no padding. When I started doing back handsprings on it my mom bought me a pad for the beam. I practiced on my beam all the time and it became my best event. I’d be at the gym for hours at practice and still practice at home. I loved every minute of it. My parents finally took it seriously after I outgrew the first gym I was at. They had a pre-team and they were trying to get a team together but I was past that. My parents always said that I would have to pay for part of the costs and I would have to pay for my choreographer to make me new floor routines. They ended paying for everything because I never stopped practicing. My mom also loved my choreographer and that helped.
@@Keh5683-d6v omg I had a low beam also I have no idea how to got it. it was made of METAL !! and all red. I remember having it out in my front lawn doing walkovers on it.
I’ve been following you since you tried out for the Italian team as a teenager and sadly didn’t make it. But you didn’t give up and look at all you’ve accomplished!
I was 10 when she achieved that. It was really special being in the heat of the Cold War and Americans were in love with and cheering for a Soviet athlete. My mom cried when she got her 10s. And of course as a 10 year old I had a crush on her. 😅 ❤
I did gymnastics when a was a teenager, loved it but wasn't that great as too much fear, but I love watching it nowadays. Congrats on finally conquering the Salto.
First off CONGRATS! I loved her and Mary Lou …2 iconic women in gymnastics, second…you are awesome by showing that anyone can train their brain to push their bodies farther than anyone ever thought or knew. That’s why any sport really, but gymnastics is such a mentally challenging one, so when you keep pushing through all the fear, pain, self-doubt…whatever it is that’s holding you back, if you put your mind to it, work hard, and realize that every bad thing you face will eventually end…but going through those trials give us mental structure and strength while teaching you not to quit…then it’s worth all the pain and suffering. You may fall a billion times but getting up a billion in 1 times create the best, most successful athletes whether it’s for their own purpose of accomplishing a goal, or making it to the Olympics. You just did a damn good job of showing your audience that exact thing. Get it girl!! You are on 🔥!! ❤and a great role model to the younger gymnast generation 🩵🙌
The Comaneci Salto was a take on another skill popular during that time called the "Radochla" (not sure of the spelling tho lol😂) The Radochla was an in-bar skill that went from the low bar to the high bar. Pretty much same technique as the Comaneci but the cast came from front support on the low bar to straddle position between the bars with hips up towards the high bar. The gymnast releases the low bar, reaching between the legs to catch the high bar, completing the skill in a straight long hang position with legs together. I used to train the skill back in the day, but never competed it in a routine, before I retired. It would be fun to see you try some of the bar routines from those days when Nadia, Olga, Ludmila(Touresheva), Cathy(Rigby) competed. Doing a bar routine using a set of "fitted" bars was so different! Or, try the really old routines with the men's p-bars changed to uneven. Have fun with that!!
Oh my gosh I’ve heard of that! Your explanation was great, I was able to imagine it. I would love to play with that one too! Maybe in the next few weeks… 😍Thanks so much for contributing your gymnastics knowledge and love here in the comments, it’s the best to find people that share the same passion for gymnastics history. Xoxo!!🐒🐒
Oh I’m so glad! I have such a blast creating them!!!! I love showing that there is an imperfect process, all part of the learning experience! We start by falling, but after trials and trials we can do anything we set our minds to!
You are amazing! I would like to point out that Nadia and Olga were tiny and very young when the competed and did all those freakin moves. Keep it up!! Again, you are AMAZING!!
@@sophiacampanagymnast She was an amazing 3 event gymnast. Really struggled on bars. She had a Comaneci in her routine that she fell on quite a bit. Her coaches were obsessed with her doing it for some reason.
I know it might sound weird but I’m terrible at tumbling and I need help with my cart wheel and my handstand so I was wondering if you can make a tutorial if you haven’t already :)thanks for the help😊
Nadia and her husband Bart Connor (medal award winner in 1984 Olympics) have a gymnastics training gym in Norman Oklahoma. Can you imagine Nadia as your coach?
THANK YOUUU😍 I’d definitely recommend the beginner grips as a transition into the wider ones!! Getting grips feels weird at first but stick with it and you’ll get the hang of it!
Put the video on speed of - .25x through settings. Start at the very beginning of the video & on 0:04 pause the video. Do you see before she even goes up she has her body parallel about the high bar at that point she is beginning her straddle. You are not doing it until after your body is vertical from the bar. You have to do it sooner 5:48
You did great! I also think one difference is how tiny and lightweight Nadia was, she was able to practically defy gravity. She was a little bird. She was only 14, a kid. As a young woman you have more mass, so it becomes a different method in throwing the body around.
Lol 3rd comment on this video but there’s a 6 year old badass snowboard girl on UA-cam. Her name is Cashy, channel is Rowley Adventures. Anyway, her motto is ‘Do it scared’ Thought you might like that. She snowboards in a tutu 😍
Could you maybe find a video of (not to hard) like odd/old/uncommon skills and give yourself like a time limit to try to get each skill Also you should try some odd/banned tumbling or dance on floor :>
I looove this idea!! I’ll do some research on some skills like that… I’m so interested on them too! Thanks for your input, it inspires me as a creator!! 🐒💘🔥
I was at gymnastics and I was doing giants and after the first giant my back cracked a lot and I could do any kind of skill that bends my back and it’s still sore😂😂
And hi I love your video I am boy I'm a level 3 gymnastics and 11 yeas old almost 12 years old and I am in 6th grade guess my brithey it is on December of the 19
I did! Not anymore. My last elite season was 2022, but I don’t do well under old school coaching styles. (Which is I’d say 90% of the elite coaches there) so I stepped away from it for that reason. I’d love to compete in some US realm again though!
I hope you guys have an amazing Sunday today!! ❤ sending my love 💕💕💕🐒
You're a great athlete. Just found out I like gymnastics. Usually I just watch parkour. You should colab with some of those guys sometime.
You can do nothing better it looks amazing ! Congrats Sophia 🎉❤

This was so fun to watch. I'm 59 now and this really made me miss that rush of learning a new skill and practicing to perfect it.
Yes I love learning new skills really fast but sometimes I fall and hurt myself when I rush😂😂😂
