Oksana Chusovitina - 1992 Olympics EF - Floor Exercise

[PhenixJoe]

Doesn't she feel a little weird competing today against like toddlers lol?

[Niginatash]

Моя тётя !!! Умница моя !!!

[glibster]

If you look up "badass" in the dictionary, you will see a picture of Chuso right next to the definition.

[markoparko]

Chusovitina should bring back this floor exercise (with different passes, obviously).

[MrJST94]

oksana does not fail...elfi does!

[Holycani]

she still does all those tumbles too! Actually i think she even uses some of the same choreographic movements too :p

[MRdavenport2010]

amazing won a medal in 2008.16 years later 

[paiges38]

If she hadn't landed OOB she would have tied for the bronze too!!

[bertera1614]

i hate this music ! AWEFUL!

[theurbansoul]

Who watching this would of thought she would be at the 2008 Olympics? Its like thinking of Shawn Johnson at the 2024 Olympics!

[MrJST94]

she doesn't do a full in or out at her first pass but a half in half out straight!

just like kirstin malony did

[MrJST94]

@tedsler no she does not, she start twisting when is is near the half of the first flip...

[markedexclusive]

It's amazing that she was able to do that double full out even in her 30's.

[backflipboy27]

@markedexclusive double full out is a back double with a double twist out, what she does is just a full out

[markedexclusive]

@backflipboy27 I know I meant double layout full out.

[tomsk14]

@USAGymnast Nope, its a full out.. look again

[LMA629]

shes really good & she still competes!!! that takes true talent

[gravyboatK]

@LMA629 And dedication and heart!

[danielcnsilva]

What is the place? And the score?

[metsdudenj]

9.812 7TH place

[No1ZmeskalFan]

She normally did a full out but here it was a full in. Mcnamarra didnt even correct herself.

[Sch0k0b0nS]

she did a back in full out, Mcnamarra is right !

[No1ZmeskalFan]

no thats a full in

[tomsk14]

@No1ZmeskalFan Nope, its a full out.. look again

[No1ZmeskalFan]

She pulls the second flip around with her hands.....nearly impossible to do in a full out with almost always has to be done in an open position...I have studied this numerous time is slow motion and its a full in...

[TwisterFlipp95]

its really hard to tell.

she starts her twisting a little late but ends it early and i dont think anyone could identify it

[Sch0k0b0nS]

you're talking about the second line.... we all think you're talking about the first !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

of course 2nd is a full in !

[No1ZmeskalFan]

LOL thats too funny....I was like OMG WHAT IS GOING ON I KNOW THATS A FULL IN! LOL :) No because She normally would do a tuck full out for the second line and Julianne says its a full out and its not....sorry for the confusion :)

[No1ZmeskalFan]

pause it at 0:57...the first flip is already done as is the twist and shes starting the second flip

[No1ZmeskalFan]

or check 0:56..she in the first flip rotation and already twisting....

[caramelcreamsauce]

Very good, but shame about the Step OOB.

I think Carly Patterson is the only other person to do a full-in with the twist on the 2nd flip?! IDK.

Kinda irrelevant - in warm up she stuck her full-in cold. It was awesome (chuso).

[garyj79]

If the female commentator (is it Mcnamara?) says FLIP once more...I swear...im going to FLIP!!! lol

[saltlakecity2002]

Yeah it's McNamara. Hahaha.

[garyj79]

thx, listening to her does my head in........flip, flip, double flip, full twist in the first flip......aghhhhhhhhh

[mkkolasa97]

luv her & the move named after her!

[caseyphx]

I hate how so many of the soviets rest in the corner for long periods of time before their tumbling runs.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Most gymnasts do that....

[caseyphx]

Not to the extent that the Soviets seem to. Check out Rosa Galieva's 1992 optionals. She rests for almost ten full seconds before her final full-twisting double.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Weird.

[tomsk14]

I wouldnt say it was a Soviet trait...

Check how the Chinese always have horrendous blatent steps into the corners....

Its nice seeing differences between the nations...We dont see any these days...

[turnfloh1984]

saw her in stuttgard...great

[adventuregirl76]

I can't believe she is still competing to this day! And still doing very well.

[ImmortalSynn]

...and still winning Olympic medals!

A 33yr-old Olympic silver medalist on Vault, and just barely missed the gold!

[brookenicole222]

Amazing isn't it? I love her!

[theintranet]

why did she scored only a 9.812? I understand she got deducted the .1 out of bounce, but a 9.912 for that routine? It should be a 10 if it weren't out of bounce. Look at her first tumbling pass. AMAZING!

[gymnasticsforever95]

well if you look at her last pass she is a little short

[grafgirl27]

Yeah it is complete joke she was apparently only going to be in a big tie for bronze without that mistake.

[Holycani]

I am not a gymnastics buff but I like to watch the sport. I have seen a lot of layouts, did she add a twist in the second layout and is that some thing women do because I haven't seen a twisting double layout in the other meads. Is that a very difficult pass for women?

[72peppertree]

it's incredibly difficult. the more twists and layouts they do the harder it is to get the height needed for rotation and a safe landing.

[NEM205]

I never understood why they took Boginskaya out of EF and put Chusovitina in. Did Boginskaya join Galiyeva in the "hospital"? lol

[boytoyville]

Because Oksana was the 91 world champion on the event, & Svetlana hasn't had the best scores on the event. She had some hard times with landings.

[MTVMANN]

Well, unlike Roza, I think they were honest and said that they were replacing Bogi in the event straight up.  Bogi scored a 9.975 on FX in compulsories which is the biggest reason why she made it to finals in FX. So with it only being optional FX routines in the finals, they knew that Oksana had a much greater chance to medal. Still, I LOVED Bogi's routine at these Games!

[diskplaying]

It is a joke to imply the Soviets were were to take Galieva out for Gutsu, and not Bogunskaya for Chusovitina on floor. The gap between Gutsu and Galieva in AA standard is much better then Bogunskaya vs Chusovitina on floor.

[MTVMANN]

All I'm saying is that they didn't try to hide the fact that they were replacing Bogi, as they did try to hide the fact that they were replace Galieva.

[xplosive08]

hehe...good one

[theintranet]

she's actually the co-world champion on floor ex. with Cristina Bontas prior to coming to Barcelona. she did not qualify for floor ex. final due to compulsory, but the soviet took Boginskaya out...

[fahren299]

just amazing powerful gymnast. wick tumbling. who competes after having a baby?

[gymnasticsforever17]

a woman who doesnt want her child to die...

[dAnThEmAn178987]

chusi is the greatest in my book realy her form is amazing and tumbles like she is on clouds

[jomc03]

amazing first tumbling pass !!

[Darkangel127]

What truly impresses me, apart from her well known powerful tumbling, is the music and choreography! Beautiful!

[seashellez]

Can't believe she's still competing! I wish she would grow her hair out.

[socalazn168]

Not to mention she needs to start putting make-up as well.

[bitchPUHLEASE]

She does not need hair and makeup.

[grizzoline]

well,.. she did grow her hair out sometime last year^^

[420stud]

UM... FULL TWISTING DOUBLE LAYOUT YOU WHACKOS... she should do her hair and make up... SHE HAS NOTHING TO MAKE UP FOR!!! SHE IST MAGIC!
