Yelena Produnova - 1997 Worlds EF - Floor Exercise

[rodkongasan80]

Under the current Code; Produnova would've won. The controversy is why the FIG decided to go for an open-ended scoring system. Not everybody likes it but, it's more fair than a closed scoring system.

she looks like a bumble bee

[lilypod3]

@rballetton and frazman309 It's actually called Hernando's Hideway.

"And here's her one back tumbling pass, and she doesn't do this very well. Let's see if she can land it."

Dear commentator, shut the fuck up.

[rballettom]

@frazman309 it's a variation on "tango d'amour"

[cronopio131]

She deserved gold.

[saltlakecity2002]

Wasn't Produnova in Sabae in 1995? If so, then why didn't she go to the Olympics in Atlanta? Was she too young or did she get injured?

[auswriteratheart]

She got injured. Her heel, I believe.

[sjpavlova]

GREAT ROUTINE!!!

[pottercito7]

Produnova Rocks!

Awesome routine!

Does anyone about her current whereabouts?

[saichoutmg]

you've only seen Nastia Liukin

Complete that pass ? almost all the ukrainians use double front from handspring.

[Bellaroberts]

Handspring double front i,ve only seen Nastia Liukin

Complete that pass before

[dontay1988]

Jaycie Phelps performed that tumbling pass at the 1996 Olympic Games. It was used as her open tumbling run.

[Dunntosh]

Yeah... And Lilia Podkopayeva dominated with it, and also added a half twist to it...

[nap1226]

Alina Kozich, Produnova in 2000, and Alona Kvasha did this skill out of a front layout which was a extraordinary spectacle to watch. Also Lilia's double front 1/2 is cool.

[sjpavlova]

Karpenko anyone?

[LCAmarkymark]

@sjpavlova only before Karpenko

[nap1226]

Alina Kozich, Produnova in 2000, and Alona Kvasha even did double fronts from a front layout which was a spectacle to watch. Also, Olga Sherbatykh had a double front in her routine. All of them, except Produnova, were Ukrainian.

She finished 3rd! The judging throughout the whole competition was just outrageous! Gina Gogean won 2 gold medals that day when gymnasts like Elena Produnova and Kui YuanYuan clearly outperformed her on both FX and BB! What a gift! This was an AMAZING routine, it should have won hands down!

[GoSveta]

I said the same exact thing. The most injust thing about all of it was that Khorkina came in second with her Shushunova and beat hump landings. It was all a farse. I would say Kui gave it away on BB with her steps and wobbles, but on FX there is no reason why she came in third.

[grafgirl27]

@Darkangel127 I agree and Khorkina who finished 2nd behind Gina on both beam and floor, also clearly outperformed her on both events.
