TEAM

SEP 19 -
For the first time at a non-boycotted games, Romania - land of Nadia Comaneci -
won the elusive women's team title by beating her fiercest rival,
Russia, by 0.205. Defending
champions USA (from 1996's Magnificent Seven) were way behind in 4th.
SEP 30 - Russia and Belarus, both scoring 19.700 in hoops/ribbons and
19.800 in clubs, had to settle for a tie-break in which Russia won due
to its higher scores in the preliminaries.

men's all-around incl. a 9.800 on the floor. SEP 21 - Romania sweeps the
