ma f... in ea de romania ca, caut ca prostu si nu gasesc video cu gimnaste olimpice , cu comentariu in romaneste.....pacat.....

[intldawn]

She made that look way too easy. What a super athlete.

[Fussims]

Why in the world she didn't throw the Amanar at this Olympics?

Instead, her signature vault will be remembered as the sloppy one she did at Sydney. What a shame.

[MunchTheSilivasFan]

No, she didn't invent this vault. This is a double twisting yurchenko.

[nekil]

My God, what a very nice vault!!!!

[NoSuchThing2009]

What does the 4.503 mean on the scoreboard?? anyone know?

[MunchTheSilivasFan]

Indicating what vault it is she will be performing

[NoSuchThing2009]

so every vault has a code? that's fascinating, thanks :)

[redecko2438]

It means the vault code or number that the gymnast is doing so that judges would know and score them appropriately.

[pamnesiac]

@NoSuchThing2009 4503 means double twisting yurchenko.

[ballethoney]

Excellent! One of the best gymnasts of the 90's hands down.

[kisapmata214]

is that coach forminte?

[ChildofPluto]

yes, I think so.

[AnaCiubotaru]

Yes, that is definitely Nicolae Forminte. He was Simona's personal coach. They are both from Constanta originally (from the club Farul).

[serenenz]

Apparently he was also one of the coaches who was the vault specialty coach which is so weird since he is now the new coach of the Romanian team but they didn't even qualify at the Beijing Olympics in the vault finals. I am hoping that will change since it was always a pleasure to see Romania in the vault finals.

[potassiumiodideki]

Gorgeous... she just attacks the thing.

[caroly1928]

que grande era Amanar!!!

[isa1285]

Excellent vaults.... in the time when gymnasts could do the same vault twice.... oh well the time when there were two vaults hehehehehe
