The canoes then speed toward shore near El Salvador's Lempa River, where the cargo was packed onto mules and taken inland. To novice viewers, the film sequence resembled nothing more than a series of large and small white blobs.

She twisted, turned and landed without having to move so much as a toe to keep her balance. Neither Retton nor Karolyi nor the crowd needed a judge to tell them it was perfect. Without waiting for the 10 to flash, Retton ran to the barricades for a quick embrace with Karolyi, then, strutting the pigeon-toed linebacker's walk...
