Four years later and Brazil is the second best team in the world, Flavia is one of the top ranked gymnasts herself! Simone is still fantastic, France is a big power. Going to be a great Olympics!
Uchimura collected some 21 medals during his illustrious career. He is the winner of 10 world titles, including his historic all-around streak that saw him claim the gold medal in the event 6 consecutive times. 7 Olympic medals. How quickly gymnasts are forgotten is quite upsetting. And they didn't even mention him when they are talking about World's Greatest. And men's AA is much harder than women's AA with 6 apparatuses and to win it 6 consecutive times is simply astonishing. Yes Simone now surpassed Kohei and those 2 are the most talented gymnasts ever walk on this Earth.
Well I think they can't truly stop a gymnast from performing the skill especially if they can perform it safely like Simone. I think the commentators have it right. If FIG really want gymnasts not to perform it why not give it the higher value?
Get more and more angry at the US judges for the disservice they did to Kara Eaker. If they'd evaluated her routine correctly in domestic competitions she never would've gone into Worlds with that construction. They robbed her of medals basically.
