@DustPuppyOI I was wondering you know..why that used to happen and now you don't see it anymore.. thanks I knew I would never find this answer easily on Google :))
This was a 10.00. I agree with chocdave Ma should have scored nothing less than 10.00 throughout the competition and won UB gold outright. Julianne was great but Ma was spectacular. A whole other level.
Thank you so much for posting this! It is quite rare! I can not believe this did not get a ten though, flaw, precise form and extension and NO bent arms.
Ma Yanhong in 1984, Nadia back in 1976 and Daniela Silivas in 1988-the top three in no particular order of all time on uneven compulsory bars. I've had the joy of finally seeing all three in their prime and for sure they were in a league of their own in their respective Olympics on this event. Honourable mention to Maxi Gnauck.
Khorki certainly deserves props-not only on bars but I believe she is the only gymnast to have at least one move named for her in all four disciplines!
as much as I love this gymnast, there where a couple of lil flaws in the routine

That was a lame dismount.. while other do triple back flips this one just simply did nothing special..

@EuropeanGuy87 This was during the age of compulsories. Every move of the routine is dictated. Marks are for completion and execution.

She has those ballerina legs and feet that you normally associate with the Ukrainians. Very lovely!

Great choices! For tradition's sake, we might add Khorkina; people may argue about her virtuosity, but no one can argue with her innovation!

That should have been a 10. I love Julianne McNamara very very much, but Ma should have scored 10s throughout and won outright.

I agree 100%.
Ma was the class of the field on this event. Julianne was her usual crisp, precise self. Ma Yanhong was even better. The best.
