awesome routine. REgarding untidiness in tumbling....i'd say her ankles were sore or something.The tumbling looks very painful

1993 seemed a break through year for black gymnasts, with Stella Umah and Dominique Dawes, it was great.

"very cultural routine" - WHAT? LOVE her dance. So different and easily the best I have seen from this competition. It's a shame her tumbling was a little untidy

[brookenicole222]

I love this routine! She has amazing rythym! I love her unique leaps and jumps too!

[ardianworld]

Wow! What a wicked routine!

She placed 8th.....Wow!!! she got bamboozled, that was a fantastic performance which deserved no less then a perfect 10 in my book. Just goes to show how harsh these judges were.

[QueenieQue]

Yeah, it was an awesome performance, but her tumbling did not deserve a 10. She has a lot of form breaks and her landings aren't great. But still, I'd choose this routine over one with perfect tumbling and poor dance.

[largec]

Yea your actually right, I had to watch this a second time just to catch the negatives. Her landing on the last tumbling pass was poor, and I have to agree that the dancing was a little weak, but besides that the routine wasn't too bad.

Does anyone know what her score was?
