Russia obviously didn't have much money to host big events back then. Probably doesn't today, either. Not like the U.S., where the Nationals look like a Wrestlemania. But maybe the poverty is what made their gymnasts strong, and the prosperity (which is ending even as I write) is what made so many of our gymnasts fat and lazy. Maybe when America is on the same economic par as Russia we'll have better gymnasts to watch. Love Tatiana!
@luv4cookie1 Yeah, looks like she's dancing to the music in her head. Always made me wonder if Gutsu was indeed younger than what was indicated, as her performance and interpretive abilities always seemed very immature.
I love it when Gutsu threw full difficulty. She was ahead of her time.

Amazing tumbling but she most have skipped her dance classes. Surprised no Sovirt coach ever informed her of music interpretation or artistry.

Concerning Gutsu,
I've never seen a so hugly floor routine !
She must have worked very very hardly !
In 1992, it was not so bad !
Technicly... she's the same !

They use this kid of competition to make selections for the future I think...
Juste have a look on their knees and ankles
Floor routines were very hard for so thin ankles !

They allow the crash mat during the competition? I guess only during major competition you can't have them. Thanks for uploading.
