This or That - Round 39

Nay for me.

Greatest tumbler in ladies artistic gymnastics during the 1980s?

Boryana Stoyanova (before her back issues)
Ecaterina Szabo
Mary Lou Retton
Elena Shushunova
Elena Gurova
Aleftina Priakhina
Camelia Voinea
Daniela Silivas
Natalia Laschenova
Deliana Vodenicharova
Cristina Bontas
 
Denise Biellmann

Had there been no compulsories at the 1980 Olympics, would Denise Biellmann have won the ladies title - Yes or No? (was 2nd in the SP, 1st in the FS, but would have had to cope with the extra pressure of being a favourite to win and deliver in those circumstances)
 
If you were to say that rules are rules, then East Germany as Rhonda Faehn should not have remained on the competition podium while Kelly Garrison was performing on the uneven bars. However, if you were to apply common sense on the basis that no prejudice was caused, then the USA would have won the Bronze (a 0.5 deduction against a 0.3 deficit). Ultimately, rules have to be adhered to no matter how ridiculous they sometimes are. Hence, East Germany. Nevertheless, the USA were unlucky as they deserved the Bronze on merit.

Best of the following gymnasts in AA terms?

Yelena Shushunova
Daniela Silivas
Svetlana Boginskaya
Aurelia Dobre
Tatiana Gutsu
Shannon Miller
Lavinia Milosovici
Lilia Podkopayeva
Gina Gogean
Simona Amanar
 
Funny, but he would be well advised to fire the idiot on his team who made the mistake

If Rubio finishes second behind Trump in South Carolina and thereby establishes himself as the main challenger to the Donald, should all those who finish below him drop out for the sake of stopping the Don - Yes or No?
