maybe I need to watch the whole video before I comment ;) But jeez the Romanians were AWFUL on bars. Their scores were gifts. Its seems like a nice dismount would erase all else for them on bars. Yuck!
The sad thing is, the routine at the end of this segment is one of the better routines from the Romanians that I've seen. : ( Oh, Daniela Silivas, can't you teach these women how to work bars like you?
That is unfortunate for Romania...but wonderful for those young American women. Does she live in the U.S. now, or does she still live in Romania (or elsewhere, for that matter)?
One more thing.....what was up with Russia using Kuznetsova all the time? I think shes terrible and I know they had to have had better depth than that back there in Russia. I never thought she was anywhere NEAR the rest of the team as far as talent
Kuznetsova made two finals by herself at this competition. She earned her spot. And...please..don't act like you know the girl. She got screwed in 2000.
Kuznetsova was one of the top BB and UB workers in Russia. What are you talking about. She had release transitions before they became common-place (when mostly just the CHN and a few top gymnasts used them) and she was solid as a rock on BB, never fell in a major team competition (ever, IIRC). Russia using her was smart, because her consistency and ability to stay on the apparatus when it counted most was uncany, and very dependable. Please research a little more before commenting like that.
wow....the Chinese just rock the bars every time. Their scores were not as high as they should have been in 07. I thought they got a lil robbed on bars there
Wow, someone isulting Kuznetsova? She won the European champs on beam the next year and was solid as a rock, not to mention extremely innovative!

AMAZING bar routine from Sveta! I've never been a fan of hers because of her attitude, but I will admit that was some bar performance!

Produnova's arm waiving on beam almost gave me a headache. It's like she's a windmill.
