Tatiana Gutsu - 1991 Worlds AA - Uneven Bars

Where is this good form this commentor keeps talking about D:

[benrobinson77]

Gutsu had one of the best double layouts on bars

[bernardmvella]

@benrobinson77 Really?I think she's too piked in the first salto, the too arched in the second, sort of like what Mo Huilan started doing later on in her gymnastics career... She lands ncie and soft but I don't appreciate the less than straight form. Don't get me wrong though I LOVE this routine, should definitely have scored higher than Zmeskal (who I also love)

[benrobinson77]

@bernardmvella ... yeah i see what you're saying. I feel like she has quite enough amplitude where her arching and piking form is just a way of stylizing the skill because she has clearly has plenetly of amplitude to get it around. It is very controlled and i dont feel like she is doing it out of necessity. I've seen some double layouts that are completely stick straight (Svetlana Boginskaya) and i think they are kind of boring to be honest.

She has beautiful lines.

i love how they transfer from low bar to high bar back then. It seemed more exciting XP

[a5000l]

the fact that this is rated 3 stars sickens me. this routine is gorgeous. whoever it was who rated it badly go fuck yourself. HARD.

[Peaceplatform]

Bwhahahah. The star rating rarely reflects what's in a vid anyways, but yes, you have a point.

:-)

zmeskal's UB scored tied this routine. if kim deserved 9.937, this was a 10.937.

[caramelcreamsauce]

Kim has no amplitude. I agree. Kim shouldnt have even won the title! Such a fluke (dont get me wrong, I love kim).

@caramelcreamsauce Eh don't be too hard on her, Gutsu got her own sham gold in 1992.
