Svetlana Khorkina - 1994 Worlds Team Finals - Uneven Bars

how come she looked shorter and had long hair in the bar final

[intldawn]

@tumblefan101 Because this was the team world championships, which happened about seven months after the individual worlds in Australia. She'd grown a bit and gotten her hair cut by this competition.

@intldawn oh thats why thanks i wonder why they just did 2 seperate worlds that year

[intldawn]

@tumblefan101 Until 1991, the worlds were every two years with the team, all-around and individual event finals. After '91, the FIG decided to have worlds every year with just all-around and event finals, and event finals only during the Olympic year. For some reason, they decided to reinstitute the team world championships in 1994. After '96, they went back to the biannual format.

this is NOT the 94 Worlds

[rfillangi]

Actually it is. There were two Worlds that year. An Individual with AA and EF in the spring and these Team worlds in the fall.

[icarrus4u]

Yes it is. It was in Germany.

@K2quared um yeah it is...this is the 94 TEAM Worlds in Dortmond, Germany. The All-around and individual Event Worlds occurred earlier in the year. This was the first (and only) time that the two separate format worlds were used. The following year they reverted back to one competition with team, all-around and event finals.

absolutely gorgeous bars already in 1994, far far ahead of her time
