very deserved gold medal, she deserved gold over overscored Komova, I am sad ieber din't enter in olympics all around final, as she was super favorite for the gold, and was better than raisman and Douglas
Amazing how she was considered but very musical at the time and not a great dancer. She’s very expressive and feels the music for sure. Especially compared to gymnasts today
“Monica saw Yang Bo in the lineup” you are literally my best friend and I have never met you omg 😂 I miss the good old days of the early internet and gymnastics forums with real gymnastics fans with wit and good taste
While I agree that the scoring was suspicious, I still would have placed Zmeskal slightly ahead of Boginskaya. Though, had she hit her beam routine, I would have had Gutsu easily in first.
When the best thing about her all around package is that she didn't fall, the system is broken. Is she allergic to hitting the degrees on her jumps or just slightly (very) intolerant to them? Also, the allowance to do five(!) tumbling runs on floor was truly insane, leaving little to none focus on choreography or artistry. At least the MAG didn't have music in the background to distract the gymnast from just muscling through the routine.
No no. Her vault should have been downgraded, she messed up her hip circle 1/2 on bars, standing back full on beam and her twisting combo on floor was very short too.
@@thesovgc OK, you got me on that one. I was really referring to her legs being glued together and her toes pointed. She doesn't have the flexibility or elegance of Nastia, but I like the contrast in their body type and style. Actually, I prefer Nastia's gymnastics since she has the Russian elegance of her mom
should've been world champion in the all around and on vault in 1991 if she would have hit, european gold medalist in every event, including all around and olympic champion in the all around vault and beam. (using her top scores internationally)
Gymnastics was so graceful back then. It reminds me of ballet and they even wore ballet slippers. Now gymnastics is all about power and tricks, but the grace and beauty is gone. It’s sad.
I find it much more appealing nowadays... You said it right, if I wanted to watch ballet, I would watch ballet, not gymnastics. Watching these old 70's gymnastic competitions has me giggling, instead of cheering.
my wonderful and all time fav superd via of Gymnastics, interesting this was last time gymnasts had to comepte 2 vaults in all around final, i wonder why they ended
Biles is the greatest of al thel times, Korkina is second but nobody can compete with her as charisma, personality, the real and only superdiva of gymnastics, this is my all time fav all around gold
My daughter used to compete in regional gymnastics. It's quite disgusting that the shorts the girls usually *chose* to wear to practise were not allowed for competition. The boys don't have to wear revealing outfits so why do the girls? Why not let everyone wear those trouser things that the men wear?
@thesovgc hey I would love if you did a video about the 2000 floor final because I know I’m not the only one who believes ester Moyà deserved a medal and I would love to know your thoughts!!!!
I know there are indeed people who agree with you (but you already knew that). I'm just not one of them. I hated Moya's routine. She couldn't dance to save her life. Her rhythm was on par with Aly Raisman. And she didn't have incredible difficulty to make up for it, either. Amânar could have gone out of bounds again and I'd still have her ahead of Moya 😇.
