The slow-motion camera highlights the best moments of her performance. It also shows the person behind the athlete, and the nervousness that is generated by the presence of a new star, Nadia Comeneci of Romania.

    Interesting documentary about a great russian gymnast whose skills made her a potential rival for Nadia.
