The format was the now standard of 36 gymnasts advancing to a final round from the team all-around, with no more than three gymnasts allowed per nation. The total score consisted of 50% of the qualifying scores, and the final round score. In the absence of the Soviets, who did not really have a dominant individual gymnast in 1984, the favorite’s role fell to Romanian Ecaterina Szabo, who had won an all-around bronze medal at the 1983 World Championships. However, the team qualifying was led by American Mary Lou Retton, a tiny West Virginian, who had never before competed in a major international. Szabo started to pull back in the final round, but Retton then scored perfect 10s on the final two rotations, the floor exercise and the vault, which brought her the gold medal. Retton would become an American hero for her performance and would win five medals in Los Angeles, while Szabo won four gold medals, with three individual apparatus golds.
