Hollie Vise - 2003 Worlds Team Finals - Balance Beam

[EuropeanGuy87]

Her "mostepanova" at 0:32 sucked big time.

[benrobinson77]

ive always liked this gymnast a lot. i loved her look

[littlemaninblack]

She has such a cute babyface, and a big sexy brickhouse body!

[leonore0195]

O.o I love!

[LCAmarkymark]

not bad

[misslizzie1204]

its interesting to come from watching the 2010 routines to the 2003 ones, how the styles have changed/whats popular and whats not. i think i prefer the style of these ones, much more unique

and just quietly loving the aussies having a chant in the background here ;)

GORGEOUS!

[QueenieQue]

I really like parts of her gymnastics...and I dislike others. She has a lot of trouble actually locking her legs into proper extension, and she tumbles way too low to the beam; there's a lot of heaviness in her. I also really don't like the amount of tension she holds in her wrists, which just looks over the top.

[czucksk84life]

loved this crowd

[scattywah]

I agree that she was not very powerful, but she had other strengths as a gymnast. I liked her beam, though. hand flicking is par for the course these days, but at least she did an original routine instead of that cookie cutter crap that passes for beam these days.

[Natalie9911]

why didnt she compete in the olympics?

[scattywah]

she wasnt selected for the team. There were a number of really amazing gymnasts left off the team, including individual world gold medalists and a 2x national champion who was also a previous Olympian. Hollie was injured and that gave her some trouble at the final selection camp. She might have made it on the team if USAG didn't attempt to break their gymnasts in half to see who was left standing at the end.

Hollie quit gymnastics for a while and now she's competing for OU.

[JLFAN2009]

I hate the selection process since 2000: it's grueling -- like 1992 (which basically broke the spirits of the gymnasts, who competed as anything but a team). The only difference is that at least in today's world, it's official that the team is hand-picked -- as opposed to being determined by the judges alone. Unfortunately, Marta Karolyi has had a couple of misses at the Olympics -- whatever might be said about the Worlds. That's the trouble with 3-up, 3-count. ANY team can win ...

[ralucagymnast]

Urgh hate her hands: all that flicking her wrists is awful; it DOESNT look "artistic" at all. Problem with Hollie she had too much flexibility and not enough power. Her dismount is really "soft", if you get me, hence the reason she never stuck it.

[souriezmoimilord]

what a sweetheart she was :)

[TsubasaDreams]

I wish she did a twisting dismount, she was never good at tumbling... but she was so artistic

[tmwalkerm]

@TsubasaDreams I agree, her dance elements on floor were her saving grace but the power isn't as good as the other girls. She is beautiful to watch though.

[tmwalkerm]

@TsubasaDreams I agree, I'm wondering if she had to fulfill some requirement by doing a salto dismount? No idea, but yeah her twisting tricks are stunning. Her dance ability is her saving grace on floor, no one is as elegant as Hollie.

[jamesbug2002]

i just remembered Gutsu who also does three skills before she dismounts: BHS Step out, BHS Step out and BHS thru to FTDB...

[glenndelossantos15]

that was actually really good

[twirlerbabe2448]

What would her beam A score be?

[NewNewNastiaFan101]

about 6.4 but that would be if she did like a sissone wolf jump combination or something

[iiLoveNastiia]

her beam is very good but she doesnt stick her landings

[lixaxil]

LOVE LOVE LOVE !

[tide32athlete]

Great routine considering the major disaster over at the uneven bars just one rotation earlier!
