Former Gymnasts like Shushunova, and Produnova later are not built like thin little whippets-and they were powerful but showed elegance and grace-especially Shushu who trained from childhood in the Soviet system. An hour or so a day at the barre would have helped gymnasts like Chellsie loads.
and liukin dominates over chellsie,she happened to lose at 05 worlds,but theyre both equally great gymnasts,haveing nothign to do with their body types
whorekina?hahaha. thats funny but really, Carly was just another teeny bopper gymnast from texas. We have like...three thousand new "carlys" here. No one does it like Khorkina!
But think about it, since when has a graceful gymnast ever got to dominate? It's always the chunky tumbling girls that dominate. Think Carly vs Khorkina... Memmel vs Liukin... Grace just doesn't pay off anymore.
Well, if you are a judge, then you should know enough about the sport to know that any elite gymnast out there has like, 2% body fat. I'm just sick of people getting on here and making critical body assessments about girls who can literally fly like superheroes.
I'm not advocating being super thin, but this girl is quite big for a gymnast. It definetly takes away the grace that some of the other girls have. Talented though, no question about that
Yeah, it does seem that the bigger gymnasts are less graceful. The bigger, more muscular gymnasts are usually more powerful because they have more momentum since they weigh more and they're stronger. For example Liukin is graceful and thin, but she lacks the power that bigger gymnasts have.
yeh i agree. bigger gymnasts of course have very powerful tumbling which can give them the edge in difficulty but the grace and elegance in gymnastics is also important. personally, i don't like chellsie memmel though she does have difficult skills but her form is very bad.
oh chellsie i wish you had a different floor routine

Amen to that. They were not the best for nothing-they paid attention to detail in between the tough stuff.

her dance, fat, and wrists are out of control here

Carly never dominated Khorkina!
Khorkina was an artist.
Carly was just some down home gymnast with not style or grace.

Who are you calling chunky? Can your fat ass even turn a cartwheel?
tigerbear9 4 years ago
Haha calling your own ass fat? Please do not assume anything GIRL.
I was judging gymnastics even before you were born, GIRL. So reflect on your comment, GIRL.

theres nothing wrong with chellsie she is thick and sexy is there anything wrong with that
moe670 3 years ago
she's not as big as she looks in this video, the aspect ratio must be slightly off because on my coverage it's not that wide.
I like Chellsie, I just don't like her winning, because her form is not good enough to win IMO

I dunno, Elena Produnova could dance and tumble too. I guess a Produnova comes only once in every decade.
