Phoebe Mills - 1988 Olympics Team Compulsories - Floor Exercise

[ThePenguin888]

Fabulous



[Vermontist]

Back to the subject of gymnastics, I'd like to comment that Phoebe shows here great control and ease of movement, although a tiny bit less flexibility than, say, Dobre or Popa. She also had a tiny hop after one of the later passes.

[Vermontist]

@Vermontist I am also reminded of why I always thought that Mills would have looked lovely doing her floor exercise to classical music, or perhaps jazz. The "cute" Addams Family thing just didn't work for me.

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

I'm sorry but compared to Silivas's ten this is worth a 9.800. She had nice high tumbling but NO artistry which is what separated the gymnasts in compulsory.

[twilliger123]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo Oh shut your piehole skank!

[TwisterFlipp95]

why would the US judge give this a 10? she hopped on the last pass! it wasn't equivalent to danielas

[TuesdayPillow]

A 10? Yes, I would say it was better than Shush's and she got a ten. Still, if that is the case I feel Daniela was worth a 13 or something. Mills had one of the best comp floors in the competition and depending in the day she switches places in my personal top 5 :)

[FLACSC74]

I don't care what anyone says, this was equivalent to Silivas 10

[StubbornPiggy]

I've been saying the same thing! This routine deserved a 10.0!

[metsdudenj]

Honestly, I can see why the US judge gave this a 10. It was exquisite.

[StubbornPiggy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHOEBE! This routine should have scored a 10.0

[TuesdayPillow]

Wow, I am torn. Mills extended better on EVERY SKILL than any other routine, though in terms of upper body carriage Silivas and Dobre outdid her. I would have to say they should all have gotten 10's.

[woofiegrrl]

Guys, shut up. You're talking about each other now, not this video. Take it elsewhere.

[spartyutube]

Wow- she probably has the best danceability of any american karolyi student.  And yes- Silivas's routine was the best EVER!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

I say Betty Okino was Bela's most artistic gymnast. Just my opinion, though.

[Felipemajo]

Great!!! Mills was absoutly excellent.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

LOL, metsdudenj will never, EVER be "one of the most accurate commenters on here"

He couldn't comment accurately to save his life. Now, back to the routine. It was synched pretty well but deserved something more like a 9.8 or no more higher than a 9.85. I also think Silivas did the best compulsory floor routine.

[twilliger123]

Stick your guinea pig up your ass, Karen, at least metsdudenj gives accurate an objective comments that, even if I don't agree with him I respect them, you on the other hand just say shit to start fights, which all of us are sick of, so shut just STFU, twit!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

I find it absolutley hilarious you say to respect people and send them messages like that

[twilliger123]

the message was for you, not him, you I do not respect in any way, shape or form!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

I am not going to waste my time with someone as stupid of you. Your replies have always been such a waste of time. I will not read any more replies from you since they are all pointless.

[twilliger123]

You just did, you stupid little cooze!!!!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Oh, nice one. Real dagger through my heart, LMAO.

[twilliger123]

God, if you say you're not going to respond, THEN DON'T, TWIT!  Idiot, much?

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

I can reply to what I want when I want.

[twilliger123]

Sure, but don't say you're not going to then keep doing, it, it makes you look even dumber than you actually are, I take that back, YOU ARE THAT DUMB! BYE!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

You don't know me so you're no one to judge how smart I am. It's really funny to see your replies, even if they are pointless.

[twilliger123]

You're right, Karen, all I can go by are your idiotic posts trying to start fights, that's how I know you are a little brainless twit, it doesn't bode very well for your future. You're a little classless bitch as far as I'm concerned, and everyone is sick of you, so please stop polluting this beautiful video of Phoebe's fine performance with your useless drivel and go away, PLEASE!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Thanks for the laugh! You act sooo naive on here.

[metsdudenj]

Dude, ignore her.  She's garbage. She has nothing worth saying. Dont even engage her by commenting on her stupidity.

[twilliger123]

That was 3 months ago, she's dead to me...

[metsdudenj]

I am trying to convince her to slit her wrists. Let me work on it.

[twilliger123]

LMAO

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

You wouldn't cinvince me to do squat if your life depended on it :)

[metsdudenj]

I wouldnt waste any energy trying to "cinvince" you of anything, except to get help for your lonely,useless life.  Let me guess, you live in a trailer, right?

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Right, which is why you said "I am trying to convince her to slit her wrists.", huh?

And you're telling *me* to get a life? Who's the one who suddenly chased me around YouTube after THREE months? Loser.

[metsdudenj]

Loser: I was making fun of your inability to spell. Please get yourself a life and stop harassing people on here to make up for the fact that you are disliked on here by so many. It is your own doing. Your comments have caused people to dislike you. Dont pick on us because you are miserable!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

You think I din't notice you were making fun of such an easy-to-make TYPING mistake? I just thought it was too stupid of a joke to even hint I notice it.

And your messages are getting a bit repetitive. Running out of things to say? So much you're copying what I'm saying? It's OK, it MUST be hard trying to even write anything after months and months of lame jokes.

P.S. Yet again you tell *me* to get a life when *you're* still hung up over something that happened months ago, LOL.

[metsdudenj]

The "dint" confirms it: southerner who lives in a trailer. Goodbye and good luck!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

The lame joke confirms it: loser who is naive enough to even think a spelling mistake confirms ANYTHING.Goodbye and bad luck!

[metsdudenj]

You aren't smart, your whole existence is pointless.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Oh my gawd, some loser on YouTube said my existence was pointless, I'm just gonna go slit my wrists aren't I?

You and your boyfriend twiliger need to get over something that happened ages ago.

[metsdudenj]

Actually if did do that, you would be performing a great service to the world. Consider it please!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Wow, I think I could see you posting something that lame from a mile away.

[twilliger123]

Oh shit and spin on your guinea pig, you idiot twit, I was responding to what mets posted....I agree with him though PLEASE DIE!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

LOL still hanging on the same "joke" after three months. Anyways, enjoy your trolling with your boyfriend while you can.

[twilliger123]

At least I have someone to "troll around" with, you don't because no one can stand your fugly ass!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Honestly, that was a REAL sad attempt st trying to promote yourself and/or insult me.

[twilliger123]

whatever, sad little girl, find someone else to bother, no one likes you or cares what you think so just go away. You are a pathetic creature!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

...... You just can't get any more stupid, can you? Your boyfriend INSIISTS on replying to my messages after three months. *He* bothered *me*, idot.

[twilliger123]

and you responded, twit! You're such a dork referring to people as their boyfriend! The only date you could get is with your guinea pig, poor thing probably throws up everytime you look at it because you're such an evil, vile and disgusting creature and a poor excuse for a human being!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

LOL, look who's talking.The vulgar, sleazy, can't-write-anything-construct­ive-only-insults being we currently know as "twiliger123".

So, by saying "The only date you could get is with your guinea pig, poor thing probably throws up everytime you look at it because you're such an evil, vile and disgusting creature and a poor excuse for a human being!" are you admitting metsdudenj is your boyfriend? Or are you saying my guinea pig hates meyet it would still date me? LOL, nice logic you have here

[twilliger123]

Little stupid twit, do you think ANYONE cares what you think or say? Obviously they're sick of it, you look at all the bad comment votes where what you say is covered up time and time again on here. Now, before you pollute this thread any further and ruin Phoebe's beautiful performance I'm out of here - you are trash and you need to get a life, idiot girl!

[ChicagoZeta85]

"Little stupid twit, do you think ANYONE cares what you think or say?"

You obviously do to reply and throw little hissy fits.

LOL, COMMENT VOTES?! I've had +10 on stupid comment votes before, don't get me started on those things.

[twilliger123]

and you obviously don't know when to mind your own business, fucktard...go fuck yourself with Karen's guinea pig up your ass!

[twilliger123]

At least you admit you made a fake account this time, you little stupid cow! No wonder everyone hates you on youtube!

[ChicagoZeta85]

LMAO, fake account? It's called second acocount, and endless amounts from ClayBabe6 (or ClayBabe31) to my sister make more than one account on here or other websites. And by everyone hates me, you mean you and metsdudenj, right? LOL

[ChicagoZeta85]

By the way, I'm sure those 60 people under the list in my profile labeled "Friends" hated me so much to press the "Add to Friends" button. :D

[twilliger123]

It was probably the other way around, the way you stalk people on here! UNHappy New Year to you, twit!

[ChicagoZeta85]

Excuses, excuses. LOL, you're an artard.

[metsdudenj]

Karen is cunt, plain and simple. She is white trash, poor, and needs to get a life. She is probably fat, pimply faced, unloved and unwanted. She uses the computer because she has no social skills. She should be executed or euthanized.

[twilliger123]

and if you think this routine should have only earned 9.8 to 9.85 you really don't know what the hell you're talking about!

[briggsshari]

wow, that was beautiful!

[mrhearingaid]

elamantebilingue aka sirlicksalot,

Go suck a fart out of your dogs ass! You wouldn't know artistic gymnastics if it hit your ugly mug.

Do us all a favor and dissapate,

MRHA

PS. That routine rocked!

[StubbornPiggy]

As far as Mills Comp. FX is concerned, I honestly believe this routine was underscored and should have received a 9.95 Saying she lacks elasticity and extension is absurd. I feel Mills performance clearly speaks for itself. If you'd like me to buy you a pair of glasses, I'd be happy to do so. I love the 88 games! So many greats.... Dudeva, Boginskaya, Kersten, Dobre, Voinea.. and many many more I love them all.... But I also admire Mills too! She was great and her form was second to none.

[elamantebilingue]

Certainly not one of the best compulsory routines in Seoul! Those were: Silivas on FX, Dobre on FX, Kersten on UB, Shoushounova on HV and Boginskaya on BB.

Simply put, this routine got a 9.90 because she was in the last session of TC and she was the last gymnast up. Had she competed in the 1st session: 9.70-9.75 because she took an adjustment step in the final pass and her poses lack elasticity and extension.

[StubbornPiggy]

I really wish elamantebilingue A.K.A. VictoriaAbrilenAtame would simply..... how do I word this kindly? SHUT THE #@$% UP! If you really love this sport, you'd have no need using this forum as a format for your insulting comments in which you repeat over and over again. Kind of like your boyfriend MetsdudeNJ, He is equally annoying! There's no need to bring down other athletes in the process. Peace

[elamantebilingue]

The purpose of the comments is to make obnservations. I feel that I substantiate what I say. It is my opinon so deal with it.

You are trying to distort things. When I state a routine was generously scored (as was Phoebe Mills in this FX). I am expressing my view. I don't see the insult that you claim.

As far as your comparisons, speculations and other convoluted statements...HA! HA! is what I say to you like Marlon Brando exclaimed in A Streetcar Named Desire.

[elamantebilingue]

You might also remember Clark Gable assertively saying to Vivien Leigh "FRANKLY MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!"

That's the way I feel about you distorting what I have to say and your other insinuations.

[metsdudenj]

Shut your #*&$# pie hole, and dont ever associate me with those two morons. Its widely known on You tube that I am one of the most accurate commenters on here. If you have an issue with my comments, you can either: not read them, or go to hell, or even, better, both.

[VictoriaAbrilenAtame]

A solid routine that was generously scored because the USA was in the last session of compulsories and Phoebe Mills performed last on the apparatus. Inflated scores are obtained this way.

No where comparable to the completly packaged, sublime and captivating gymnastics of Daniela Silivas, Aurelia Dobre, Svetlana Boginskaya, Dagmar Kersten, Boriana Stoyanova and Chen Cuiting.

[thewho76]

All of you are stupid. Drown yourselves.

[metsdudenj]

drown your mother first

[Timtation69]

Phoebe had this routine down and the performance was one of the best! She was very fluid clean and has a better natural body line than the Silivas and Dobre though I enjoy the Romanian stylized routine more than Phoebe's simply because they were selling it! Silivas was wonderful but only Boginskya could compare to the natural dance line of Mills! Johnson's routine was stylized clean and easily the best tumbles but a little over on her last pass!

[miloandtock1]

This is the best routine from the US, and was 9.9 quality. It was far better than anything the East Germans did. The hop/lunge forward is actually acceptable (or used to be) and did not used to be a deduction. The US team as a whole was superior to the GDR, as far as whether Bulgaria deserved bronze is another argument!

[metsdudenj]

You must be East German. The routine has superior flexibility, great tumbling, and all leaps and splits are in the right position. The last pass has a minor lunge forward, which is an acceptable landing position. She deserved a minimum of 9.9. The scores for the US team were fair and correct. I would say maybe Johnson deserved a 9.9 also for her superior height

[elamantebilingue]

What's up with the cultural stereotypes? Does that make you feel perceptive or like you have a grasp on the world? I'm not East German...However, I would've loved to have been Katarina Witt!

[metsdudenj]

East German is synonymous with cheating and doing whatever it takes to get a medal. I dont know what you could possibly see in the East German gymnastics program that was noteworthy. Mills' routine was so precise that she hit every NOTE of the music with a perfect precision. So clean and fresh!

[metsdudenj]

So you are a guy who wants to be a chick?

[metsdudenj]

One of the best compulsary routines of the games

[elamantebilingue]

Certainly not one of the best compulsory routines in Seoul! Those were: Silivas on FX, Dobre on FX, Kersten on UB, Shoushounova on HV and Stoyanova on FX. Simply put, this routine got a 9.90 because she was in the last session of TC and she was the last gymnast up. Had she competed in the 1st session: 9.70-9.75 because she took an adjustment step in the final pass and her poses lack elasticity and extension.

[kittenfish143]

I think Silivas's was the best...
