Seems to me that judges in minor competitions have a tendency to mark lower . She still won convincingly so I see no problem. A rare stick on her dismount for Yang Bo.
I still hold the view that the landing of the punch front to one leg in her second tumble run, where her rear hits the ground as she lands with one leg bent, should have been a .3 deduction. How history could change if the FIG judges would only take deductions for obvious faults. I still like this floor routine though.
Aurelia! După mine ai fost perfecțiunea însăși in gimnastica.Aproape peste Nadia. Dotată de Dumnezeu cu tot ce a trebuit pentru a fi perfecta.Bravo!!! Dar ...ai plecat din România,draga noastră!! Gimnastica românească a pierdut un geniu. Te-a câștigat hrăpăreața SUA.
A shame she had that knee injury before Seoul, definitely would've been a gold medal threat on the AA and floor, possibly beam as well. And if not for the revolution she probably could've had a longer career
Dobre is the perfect gymnast. She's not the best at anything, but she's good at everything, she's the German shepherd of gymnasts, lol... She has the perfect balance of flexibility, grace, difficulty, elegance, dance, acrobatics, acting, charisma, perfection. I think that this is precisely where she is number one, being good at everything, she was even good at all 4 devices. Unforgettable the 1987 world champion.
I mean, this routine is phenomenal. Even today’s gymnastics could not rival yang bo’s execution. She is still the beam worker i have seen in my 30+ years of watching
All that elegance and grace are lost in today's women's gymnastics. Quite unpleasant to watch really as the routines have become too athletic and focus on difficulties as opposed to artistry and flow.
