@ericmaine ooooooooohhhhhhh okay i get it. So its kinda like when younger gymnasts ( like level 5s and 6s) do the same routines

Thanks

[ericmaine]

@peaceluvcheer97 - These are called 'compulsory routines'. Up until the 2000 Olympics, gymnasts performed the same exercises in the first part of the team competition. These exercises were designed to show 'basic' skills and it was up to each gymnast to perform them 'by the book'. The more precise the exercise, the higher the score. Compulsories were removed in the late 90's.

@peaceluvcheer97 they do tha same routines because before 2000 olympics (i think) they not only competed optionals, like they do today, but compulseries also. optionals is when they do their own routines and compulseries they all do the same. they did compulseries so they could really compare gymnast to gymnast.

@UltraViolentBMXer That is a rule now but I don't believe that went into effect until after the '96 games. You'll see a springboard in many competitions left near the bars or the beam for many countries prior to '96.

I dont think so cause a lot of girls including Amanar who got 9.850 on this event had their board there.

The board was only left on Kerri's and Moceanu's routines. Karolyis falling down on the job?
