Lavinia Milosovici - 1993 Worlds EF - Floor Exercise

[ronaround74]

Did the whipbacks not add anything to her SV here? If not, then why would she put one in her second pass? (I can understand why she put a whip in the first pass, because the combination allowed her to do a second full-in in the final pass.)

Nice to see that Milo never really did front tumbling!

[gymnasticsforever17]

i hate her with short hair shes sooo ugly

[sassyfloridian]

You're not a gymnastics fan for sure, if you're not here to aknowledge her artistry and skills, you'd better shut up, and if you're more interested on her look, you should go to check top models stuff. By the way, have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately???

[porky7369]

Ummmm, actually her artistry here sucks ass. Her sills are ok but i am a big milosovici fan and still have to agree with gymnasticsforever17 - BAD HAIR!! She looks so much better with long hair.

[xuarxu]

that was pretty cruel..i am a huge milosovici fan but i tend to agree that her haircut was awful-made her look older actually....

[ShaefDawg]

I guess no one will ever know, huh?

[ShaefDawg]

why did she only get a 9.675 for this routine?

[dbhmr]

Gymn forum has her start value listed as only a 9.8, which would explain the score. But I have no idea why she started so low...there were a coule weird SV in this championships...it happened early in the year, maybe there were judging mistakes...

[ShaefDawg]

I remember seeing that she only had a start value of 9.8. But I watched her routine over and over again, and I still can't find a reason why her SV was dinged a couple tenths. I guess I'm missing something here. If anyone can figure this out for me, I'll personally send them hugs and kisses haha

[TuesdayPillow]

I only see 4 tenths of bonus in her routine. She has no dance worth anything from what I see.

[ShaefDawg]

I just checked out another FX routine from her in 1994, and I noticed that she did a double-twisting jump there as opposed to only a full-twisting jump in this performance. Could that have made the difference?

[TuesdayPillow]

The double twisting tuck jump and cat leap would have been an extra tenth. Also in 94 she had a double layout, a triple twist, and a two and a half punch-front, which I believe should all have equalled 6 tenths of bonus. I know that in 1994 she did change her tumbling around a bit so perhaps she learned the double twisting jump to compensate for any tumbling changes?

[russianskatingfan]

@TuesdayPillow yes you are right. This routine only had enough difficulty for a 9.8 start value which for Milo on floor is amazing. She was totally out of shape for this Championships and doing her worst gymnastics she ever did. I actually thought she was washed up and done after this event and was surprised and impressed how strong she came back. It really shows how this was the worst field ever this year as she still won beam gold, vault silver, and was 2nd in AA qualifying in this form.

[selesfan30]

@TuesdayPillow the Romanians had not adapted to the new COP as well as some other countries by 93. Milo didnt have 10 start values on any event other than beam. Gogean didnt have a 10 start value on anything other than maybe bars, and it cost her the AA title to Miller even with Miller's big mistake on beam. By 94 the Romanians all had 10 SVs though if they hit their routines.

[ComtessedeLaFere]

She gets 0.1 for each of her full-twisting double back, 0.1 for the 2 1/5 twist and a 0.1 connecting bonus for the front tuck immediately after.

She probably wasn't given credit for the double full jump. With a 9.4 base score, that's how she got only a 9.8 SV.

What is the music in this routine? I love it! Eric

[piskoun]

Le Marginal, from Ennio Morricone!

[Ohana77]

Anyone knows the name of the music in the backround?
