1977 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 11th European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held in Prague.

Romanian Withdrawal

[edit]

The Romanian team walked out the competition during the beam finals. According to the Romanian federation, this decision was taken "as a result of some technical deficiencies and of some methods appeared in the referees' actions which altered the results".[1]

Ironically, the Romanian withdrawal happened right after Nadia Comăneci's performance, for which she received a perfect 10. If she had not left the building, she would have won the gold medal in the beam finals.
