Henrietta Onodi - 1992 Olympics AA - Uneven Bars

[LaVoix555]

I don't think she had any weak apparatus. She was glorious on every apparatus!

[lostlyrarose]

I thought Onodi's bar routine was pretty good compared to a lot of the others. what was her score?

[briaberger]

Does anyone know what place she finished in the AA? I just love Onodi.

8th

That style of release skills seemed to be taught to her early to late eighties style when the bars were closer and release moves often suffered in height because of it.

She gets no height on her release skills. Was frankly lucky to even get close to 9.9 for a score.

i think Onodi was one of the few very deserving gymnasts who were always underscored. That Comaneci salto was wicked. Thank God she did win an Olympic gold.

Onodi is one of my favs of all time! What's the difference between a Comaneci salto and a Jaeger?

[SiEtIn1]

that was the commentator's mistake, it was actually a comaneci salto, not a jaeger

[espinaca79]

@SiEtIn1 It is not a comaneci salto where the gymnast releases the bar after doing a kip. Julianne Mcnamara was right.

[dp7904]

a Comaneci salto is front salto directly out of a cast, a Jaeger is out of a front giant. This sort of looks like a Comaneci Salto because she doesn't get a lot of height but its definitely a Jaeger because she does a front giant into the release. So the commentator was correct, i had to do a double take too just to make sure.

Daria Joura does a very nice Comaneci salto

[spartyutube]

Thanks - I get it!

[espinaca79]

@spartyutube a Comaneci is a cast-reversed back salto-front regrasp. A jaeger is a front salto from reverse grip.

i love that comeneci transfer to the low bar thingy. that was cool.
