Snejan Hristakieva 1992 Worlds Prelims Bars (awesome def)

[SahTrew]

Fenomenal Snejana! Way ahead of her time, shame she never won anything.

Her form at Euros that same year was much better. I've read she died in a car accident in 1997 in Germany. :-/

[FLACSC74]

sloppy form through out

[jamesbug2002]

a friend of mine hit her forehead when she regrassped because she spun too close to the HB...but she was ok after..just three stitches and she was cool...life went on..

She was amongst the first to do that element on UB and so she is remembered. Thanks for sharing. :)

justcallme apparently knows little to nothing about gymnastics. Yes her form could be improved but to do a Def on the uneven bars takes talent and hard work and there have only been a handful of women in the world ever to compete it.

[Lyssenk0]

That skill is named after her. It's still a G move today, the highest level of difficulty.

This was 1992, genius. That was a pretty normal routine back then, and a Def is one of the hardest release skills. Her form really could've used some work, though.

[raddrobbyy]

she has aweful form,but an aweseom routine none the less.

[gemmalover]

yeah not only on the def, but in the whole routine!
