what's the name of the element after the front handspring in the beginning. It's the element thet she catches her leg behind her back. But what's the real name of this skill?
@kid4orange Back catch.Or back scale. Although in the back catch the hands are farther down the leg and the leg is straighter; elisabetta preziosa of italy does a lovely back catch on beam..
In Mostepanova's day you could only submit a skill for consideration IF you performed it at an Olympic Games. Poor Olga was denied her chance to compete in LA so she never got the move credited in the COP.
@kaztamar That is not true. Mostepenova merely did not submit the skill at the '83 or '85 Worlds. Onodi did in '89. Don't make stuff up if you don't really know. Ugh.
I totally agree, she was an amazing gymnast and was never given much credit. I just have a question: why is the back handspring with a half turn called an Onodi when it was first performed by Olga Mostepanova back in 1984?
if I'm not mistaken they are two different skills that look very similar. One twists in the air and the other twist when the hands touch the beam and one is a two foot landing while the other is a one footer
and i believe the skill your talking about may be a Whorley? after shayla whorley, it's an onodi, but landing on both feet, its in mosteponvafan's "beam elements named after gymnasts" montage.
Olga actually performed it at the 1983 World Championships. I think it is named after her, if you look in the Code of points its called an Onodi/Mostepanova.
That was a brilliant routine. Such a wonderful beam work.

I think you might be right about Olga not submitting it, but I am pretty sure in the code of points it does bear both names:Mostepanova and Onodi.
ralucagymnast 3 years ago
actually as far as I know it's still an onodi
at least I have never hear it called a mastepanova
I also think ododi is a little less of a mouthful

I don't know, but it's called a Mostepanova now.

i think it's because Olga Mostepanova didn't do it in the olympics, while Hernietta Onodi did.

No, they're the same skill. Both are twisting BHS step outs. You must be thinking of a different skill.

i'd love to see a bhs onodi sequence.

She was one of the most underrated and underscored gymnasts at that time. She is one of my favorites.

I agree....she was always a class act and never really scored the way she should have.....I loved her as well

You're right
She was always overscored on vault and underscored on floor
