1,5 twist in 1996?

so ahead of her time and so underscored

@MrJST94

yelena piskun of belarus and yelena dolgopolova of russia also did the def, in fact dolgopolova did it too at these olympics but she fell whilst doing the def. piskun was doing the def earlier, and i think stopped doing it since '95. a bulgarian gymnast, snejana hristakieva was the first to do this skill in barcelona '92 :-)

She scored a 9.687 on her Compulsory routine. Pretty good. This routine was underscored though. I only saw a few deductions, and certainly not .3 total. The entire dismount was a tenth (in 96 rules) and maybe a half tenth for the leg separation on the Def. I think no lower than a 9.8 for this routine if they wanted to deduct for the shoot over as well.

woow, amazing routine!

[fatalbeauty]

And a scandal that she wasn't in the final!

[saltlakecity2002]

She probably didn't have the cleanest routine in the compulsories.

[dbhmr]

Even so, she only scored a 9.7 here.

@fatalbeauty So true, the routine was ahead its time.

It seems like the french women really have the Def move down.

No kidding, that was crazy.
