Celestina Popa - 1988 Olympics Team Compulsories - Floor Exercise

[metsdudenj]

I think the 9.85 was correct. She didnt get huge height on her first and last runs and she had a pause before the round off into the split jump, and when she landed from that jump she bobbled a little, And the full turn at the end wasnt so crisp either, I had this at 9,85 given the superior flexibility but there were errors

Probably the most graceful romanian team ever.

She got a 9.850 for this routine.

godd i wish gymnastics was still that easy haha i owuld os much rather do those tumbling passes than trying to force myself to do double arabians and full ins. sooo not fair.

They were doing double arabians and full ins in 1988 as well. You'd have to go back to the early 70's to get back to this level being the top.

Your telling someone (jkidlove) who 'cough cough' claims to be doing double arabians and full ins BUT who doesnt actually know jack about the history of the sport.......like how the floors werent as spring loaded back then! they prob wonder why gymnasts werent doing layouts and somersaults on a polished wood beam in the 60's!

Celestina Popa's FX was underscored in compulsories and optionals. She should have been in EF.

The first tumbling pass in this compulsory FX was performed with great height, amplitude and dynamism!

This is one very underrated gymnast. I actually think she was better than both Dobre and Potorac in many of the events. Sad she didnt get to the AA finals
