Henrietta Onodi - 1992 Olympics AA - Floor Exercise

[ivybop]

One of my very favorites.

[LMA629]

very unusual turn at 1:10

[todosobretodo]

That piked full in dismount is out of this world! TERRIFIC!

[LCAmarkymark]

She was judged so hard here

[ZagalaOnodi]

Henni unique and the only one, precious Girl, gorgeous eyes ever seen, and complete gymnast, just a Star. Always on my heart.

[ShiniRyuk]

This is probably one of my all-time favorite floor exercises ever. Her movements were like a ballerina's.

[Kevinsf]

that dismount was phenomenal. She stuck it cold!

[12bmills]

@luv4cookie1 Well...Sandra is more of a tumbler, but if you look at Nastia's dance and her lines, you would see her elegance and artistry.

[xxlozziexx231]

Can anyone help me to find this floor music please ? Or anything like it :D

[ShiniRyuk]

@xxlozziexx231 It was Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody.

[Ankholympios]

@xxlozziexx231 it's a version of Hungarian Rhapsody, Diana Chelaru has this also as music ;)

[12bmills]

This is classic gymnastics right here. Good thing we have Nastia and Sandra Isbaza to help keep artistry in the sport and others.

[lashenova]

Sandra Isbaza? Are you joking or on crack?

[12bmills]

She and Nastia have similar styles. There are others who have artistry, not just those two. You'd think Shawn Johnson would've won that gold on floor in Beijing, but Sandra did with her clean tumbling and execution. She did have more artistry as Johnson.

[lashenova]

Sandra is a great gymnast, but not artistic.

[garyj79]

Your right, but she is artistic in comparison to Shawn Johnson.......

[ThePenguin888]

There is more of a similarity between me and Onodi than Izbasa and Onodi. And I can't dance worth shit.

[tedsler]

i love onodi, i thought her west side story FX was her best one, but as always her tumbling was so neat, legs glued together and knees straight

lovely to watch after so many years

[botroyliz]

which one was that

[cargobud]

This is my favourite FX routine from all times.

[brianmulligan]

Shivers every time I watch that dismount PERFECTLY in sync with the music!!!!!!!!!!

[tedsler]

oh i have never thought of that! anyone knows what she is up to today?

[dancefan1990]

I second this question, does anyone know what's Henrietta up to now? I miss gymnastics at her time.

[caramelcreamsauce]

My god - ten!

[WSggs]

She and Daniela Silivas are the only woman I've ever seen stick a full in pike, cold.

Her routine was amazing and very entertaining.

She was my favorite over-all of '92. :)

[NewMinako]

Well you can see Amy Chow in 1994 stick her full in pike and Dominique Moceanu in Atlanta during the floor final and in 1996 during the US national

[WSggs]

Yeah, I forgot Izbasa too. But oh well, it's pretty rare that anyone does.

[brianmulligan]

When I hear "stick cold," I think they mean the gymnast doesn't move their feet (even into a lunge....) in the finals, Moceanu did step back into a lunge, so I wouldn't call it "stuck cold," although it was clean..... It doesn't match up to the ending of Onodi's routine, just in my opinion!

[NewMinako]

Yeah you're right.

As Onodi you can see Izbasa, Amy Chow, Semenova, and others gymnasts

[puaalaaumoe]

no problem! :)

[todosobretodo]

Her full in dismount is one of the best ever performed!

[CINEDIGITAL]

forever my dreamgirl

[brozhe2]

milosevici's was far more original and eye catching. onodi had also a big step at a tumble plus quite a mistaken piruette. Nothwithstanding this fact, watching onodi i feel like i m watching a shawn johnson routine so mechanicall and robotic, just tehnique no originality no passion. basically i totally dislike this.

[briaberger]

If you think Onodi is mechanical and robotic, then you're delusional.

[tedsler]

@briaberger No one can call her mechanical! She is one of the neatest tumblers and her presentation is SO good! I loved her West Side Story FX.

[skata524]

You feel like watching a Shawn Johnson routine... Plesa don't insult Heni like that.

[ShiniRyuk]

What beautiful style, grace and fluidity she had, plus great tumbling. You don't see enough of this nowadays. It's all about the robotic tumblers now, with the exception of a few countries/gymnasts that still care about artistry.

[threestooges3]

what is an onodi worth on beam??????????

[dragu88]

wooo beautiful

[flemel2001]

I love how she lands right with the music on her last pass. Goose bumps!

[puaalaaumoe]

yes! wasn't that an incredible ending to that routine!? :)

[brianmulligan]

the very best part of that routine was her emphasis, landing right on cue... amazing.

[greyserf]

That's what I'm saying... she does everything BUT fall off, she has at least 3 major breaks (Bontas on beam), and still scored the highest on Compulsory beam because of her reuputation and the fact that she was one of the last to go up.

[greyserf]

Honestly, mostly from reputation. You have to also consider that they're competing on a podium and it may have been difficult for the judges to see her hop and form break. If you want to see another example of Judge's giving a gymnast the benefit of the doubt.. look at Christina Bontas' compulsory beam. She all but falls off and she gets the highest score of the night. But yeah, again, there was no such thing as having a start value of above 10.0.

[greyserf]

Henrietta's and Milosovici's start value's were both 10.0's. There was no such thing as having a routine worth "above a 10.0" in Olympic or World competition. Even if your elements could technically total above a 10.0 it could only be scored from a 10.0

[sofico]

I like this exercise very much! she's so grateful!

[spartyutube]

I would've given her tie with Milosovici for event gold. Her dance is way better than Milos. Btw, Milo took a hop after her 1st pass, so I don't know why that was a 10.

[siljed30492]

AMAZING routine!:D<3

What score?

[markoparko]

9.912

[rileywatts]

ahhhh i love it

[puaalaaumoe]

If it wasn't for the trouble with the third pass, I would have given this routine almost, if not, a 10.00! She has one of the best-controlled triple twists and that last landing was PERFECT and right on time with the music!

[prepster845]

fuckin love that stuck piked full in omg.

[ShaefDawg]

yeah, that was a stamp of "almost" perfection there. i still would have given her a 10!! that was amazing.
