Svetlana Khorkina - 2000 Olympics EF - Uneven Bars

[eastrun]

i love the full twisting double back and the landing..very clean and beautiful....

[Sweetcleopatraa]

@eastrun Her full in is great cause she does a very strong swing before the dismount that generates huge power. I think she's the only women gymnast that did it.

[patisevichave]

just peeerfect!

[sixtypixies]

Love that smile when she lands!

[nicki446]

Khorkina is just so fluid when she moves - it's so gentle, and almost relaxing to watch. You never see any effort behind any of those incredibly difficult moves. She makes it look easy, and that's why I love her.

[mimp4l1]

i love that she doesn't wear grips. pure gymnastics. just her and the bars.

[Stonymypony]

ONly thing I would change: the black leo to something gold colored. Oh and the routine was beautiful!

[eastrun]

@Stonymypony agreed...

[PhenixJoe]

This is a great routine start to finish. I've always thought she looked like an ostrich...totally random and kinda mean, but I just had to say it.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@PhenixJoe I see that, haha. I love Khorkiiiiii!

[PhenixJoe]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I do too =D. But look at her at 0:30...tell me that doesn't scream ostrich about to attack...

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@PhenixJoe Oh my God, it does, haha! =D. Ostrich don't fly, right? Because if you pause on the salute it's like she's flapping her wings.

[PhenixJoe]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 LOL!!!!!!!! Totally.

[hockeygirl789]

she did her routine smoothly, unlike ling jie

[MistRDonuT94]

jiang yuyuan needs to learn how to do the ricna + pak combo like this! although khorkina's ricna could use some more turnover...

[msms68]

does anyone know what she said to herself right after her dismount

[noha864]

goose bumps

[IEMORTALI]

NiCe!

[Stonymypony]

It was a real shame what happened to her on the vault. Watching that 11 years ago I couldn't believe she fell and later when I found out why it made more sense. I knew something had to be wrong because Svetlana khorkina just doesn't do that.

[Holycani]

@Stonymypony she does fall, in 1996 she lost her shot in the AA b/c she fell in UB, again!

[Gymgymilovegym]

its sad not very many gymnasts now can even do a giant...

[icarrus4u]

@Gymgymilovegym It SUCKS now... The artistry is missing... This new scoring system doesn't allow it! 

[rox4169]

She's just perfect !!! <3

[TikiBoy382]

She is just so amazing on the Bars! she's breath taking!! So beautiful!!

[hannahfan2712]

so which medal did she get in the end? THIS WAS AWESOME.

[krell88]

@hannahfan2712 gold

[hiphopgrl82]

she always beasted it on bars!

[MKsports13]

woww!!! that was perfect! was that first place? because it deserved it!

[lilypod3]

incredible!

[markedexclusive]

Fierce.

[getnasty08]

I'd love to know what she murmered to herself at the end. She's probably saying 'Thank you God and God bless Russia' knowing her :) Damn this is an amazing performance.

[Arthurts]

i see this video thousand times, and a cant find ONE error to decrease her score!

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Her kips to wind up to her dismount were a little dis formed, but I agree, it was perfect!!!

[CH33RCHiCK25]

shes not wearing grips!

[ArcasAngel]

Cos she's a hard bitch!!

[LiangJackShan]

Results:

GOLD - Svetlana Khorkina

SILVER - Ling Jie

BRONZE - Yang Yun

[kelloggx3]

it should have been yang yun than ling jie :)

[yaoryu]

i think karpenko should share at least the bronze

[ants2876]

@kelloggx3 ummm no. Ling Jie might have deserved the 99 World bars title over Khorkina, but was overmarked here and lucky to even get the silver over Yang Yung. Khorkina was the clear winner here. Are you from China.

[youcleverguy]

incredible!how could she make her dismount so quietful and slow?

[AndromedaAiken]

@youcleverguy Probably a combination of the fact that she's taller, has more power and more extension of height over the others. :)

[HotAsianGirl214]

i thnk its a way to save her from moving if she's stiff like that but just my opinion

[briaberger]

She doesn't arch her back like other gymnasts do, one of her many trademarks.

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. I love her and this routine!

[molly2222]

The most innovative and influential bars worker since Nadia!!

[Jessicaz2910]

her back is not like other gymnast's back at the end
