She was such a beautiful gymnast in every way: after watching this years Europeans, even the commentators are saying that judging the routines is very difficult because every gymnast is doing the exact same skills on beam, floor, vault and bars. So sad what gymnastics has become.: floor routines now are bunch of tumbles which they all do, and a couple of split jumps, one with a turn, and the mandatory double pike dismount. Its all so boring and repetitive to watch now,.
It's disappointing not to see creative routines like this anymore. Stupid FIG. They just sent gymnastics down hill by removing the artisitc from artistic gymnastics, and calling some stupid pseudo ballet called RSG "gymnastics". Now people don't even know what gymnastics is anymore. FIG should die with RSG, trampoline, and all their pathetic rules and judging procedures.
YES U R VERY RIGHT! this new scoring system has brought everything down. exercises on floor are not the same anymore...but good thng gymnasts like Izbasa still maintain the tradition!
So true!!! This is so artistic and entertaining to watch. Even though the tumbling is relatively 'easy' (by todays standards and even '92 standards).
It's hard I guess for FIG beacuase for years they were copping criticism for gymnasts not being rewarded for difficulty and now they have ammended that they have sucked the artistry out of the sport.
Bellu replaced her with Gogean. They wanted young girls for Barcelona. Actually they change GIna's age, making her older than she was. Popa was sad with that, but that wasn't Gina's fault... They remained friends though. I read this in an article these days...
