ATLANTA 1996 OLYMPICS GYMNASTICS EVENT FINALS PART 02

[steelersboy2009]

A 9.275 for Scherbo? Loved his gymnastics but isn't 2 touches down considered 2 falls (I guess not in the '96 code). Honestly in 2004, I'm sure Scherbo wouldn't have gotten anything higher than an 8.5.

10's were given out back then like it was nothing, anything below a 9.5 would be considered a bad score

@pivotpro7873 They had really stopped giving out 10's pretty much following the '92 games. There wasn't a single 10 handed out in Atlanta.

I don't understand Vitaly's final score-he had two major errors touching down twice-shouldn't he have scored less than 9.00?

Thanks again for posting this!!

Ioannis Melissanadis's FX routine is my all-time favorite men's floor exercise. I love his choreo and of course his awesome tumbling!

he is very girlie. i liked it

[audie83]

Well-some may find his style 'feminine' but I don't have a problem with it. His routine was a joy to watch.

@audie83 I agree, although I could do without those shorts! However, he as a joy, perfect wording. And when he smiled it changed his whole look. I will say he looks a whole lot like the pic of Kerri Strug currently on the right hand side of this screen, lol.
