Love Cathy and Bart's commentary; they are so knowledgeable, and dont resort to realms of hyperbole and nonsense like those dreadful NBC commentators now.
What I was saying was that to do four tumbling elements INTO a dlo (Gutsu) is more impressive than a whip immediate dlo (Maloney, MAGs). Whips and dlos are power elements, so to mix tumbling in between them and still execute well is way hard.
Great first and last passes. Whip-bhs-dlo (not whip STRAIGHT to dlo) is so f'ing hard. I think Kim Zmeskal is the only other gymnast to have ever done that pass (1992 World EF).
Funny how we all knock her form and inability to dance... reminds me a lot of Vanessa Ferrari criticisms. We can only hope & pray that that linebacker in a leotard doesn't get awarded the Olympic gold in 2008.
Gutsu is just such a beautiful gymnast!! Wish she could have continued her career...Must have been such a delightful rivalry with Miller and Milosovici. Damn it Soviets' gone and we lost the russians.

I don't think her dancing is weak at all, I just think she has a style that is not for everyone.

If you want to watch weak dance......watch gymnasts of today....in particular some of the Americans!! this looks like Anna Karina in comparison!!!

this music is horrid, and the dance was weak. but that first line was magical.

I never thought it made much difference... It always seemed to me that it was a matter of preference.
I also believe that a whipback immediate double layout is harder than when there's a back handspring in between.

This routine is much easier on the eyes than the one in Barcelona.

yeah gutsu's dance didnt improve by the 92 olympics...and her choice of music was always pretty awful

her music at the 1991 dtb cup was excellent...

agreed. that was a decent routine, artistically, as well. i think she should have kept that for barcelona.

I mean the Soviets' gymnasts...Of course she's from Ukraina that produced so many gymnasts and figure skaters.
