Wow wow wow. Thank you for posting this Yernar-you have some amazing videos.
I missed out on Liz Reid because by the late 1990's after Lilia Podkopayeva I figured the Age of Dance was dead. I managed to catch the 2000 Olympics and gymnasts like Simona Amanar nearly confirmed my belief-but Yang Yun's exquisite floor exercise gave me a glimmer of hope.
I agree that the tumbling wasn't that powerful, but the choreography - and her performance of it - was breathtaking. If she could pull the two together, it would be absolutely stunning.
i think its from riverdance or one of those irish shows that were really popular around that time....i can picture the album cover in my head but i cant remember for the life of me what its called/who its by!! if you find out let me know :D
I figured out what it's from. It's Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance. The music is composed by Ronan Hardiman. The first and third song like Lyssenko said below is Nightmare, and the middle one is Lament. There's a lot of really great music on that CD, especially if you like Irish music
I was at ASU when she competed this routine...if there is footage of the second version of this (with a new middle section) she competed the next year it is even better!!!~twlboy
The tumbling is strong for 1998 - front layout full was, I remember, a D skill and a front layout 1/2 was a C so her tumbling was great for the time.

The title of the song, at least the first and last part, is Nighmare. Barsukova used it at the 2000 Olympics. I'm not sure about the middle part.

Gymnastics as it used to be done, wonderful. Very weak tumbler though.
