Lilia Podkopayeva - 1994 Worlds EF - Balance Beam

[abrahamnextel]

i was wondering what kind of element would be that headspin in todays code of points--- an E element, maybe?

[luv4cookie1]

if she would of not had a bobble on tht full turn she and miller would of tied for gold

[grafgirl27]

@luv4cookie1 I doubt it. Her dismount was horrible and probably had a big deduction.

[nicki446]

@luv4cookie1 I disagree. She had a few little balance checks in there and her dismount was nowhere near as good as Miller's.

[SexyLiLLeilaniMya]

1ST RATE!

[selesfan30]

It is a shame she never won a major title on beam. She was certainly good enough to do so but could never put her very best routine out there when it mattered most in finals.

[icarrus4u]

Amazing.

[emmyjo720]

She seems to dance on the beam.

[GosfordAbercrombie]

goddamn that landing was ooh girl! she sucks! i hate her gymnastics!

[AMYCHOW19]

Ouch! Two form breaks and that hop on the dismount! Ah well, she won a silver at the olympics 2 years later! :)

[ants2876]

She actually won the silver here too believe it or not, with only a 9.737, LOL! The final was a horrible mistake-fess other than Miller.

[QueenieQue]

Well...and a gold...

[NewMinako]

The only gymnast who has toe point like her is a guy. Alexander "Sasha" Artemev :)

[TsubasaDreams]

So true! Artemev's toe point is ridiculous, I don't think mine is as good as his!

[NewMinako]

I don't think it's ridiculous, actually I think it's beautiful even for him.

[luv4cookie1]

@NewMinako and shannon miller

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

@luv4cookie1 Shannon Miller never pointed her toes like pod or artemev so I'm not sure what you are talking about...

[160790kz]

@NewMinako I think Komova has toe point as good as these two!

[dyingproof]

Maxy - Lilia was famous for her toe point. Obviously you're blind, you twatty skank.

[Serbesight]

Who brought her baby to a WC competition??

[maxy7792]

UG her toe point is so disgusting it looks like her foot broke and she cant get it to be straight it looks really bad and disturbing

[itchyorion]

don't get me wrong, i love the girl! it's just one of those little things that bug me (just like pre-1996 she souldn't keep her legs together on her gienger on bars). but overall, one of the best gymnasts ever!

[itchyorion]

she always flexes that back foot on her wolf jumps! i hate that
