  • This routine was ahead of its time. Her dismount was used to win Olympic Gold 20 years later, and her full-twisting Tkatchev is an element even today's girls don't dare try in their routines.

  • a markelov/khorkina is a half twsit to a tkatchev. the shushunova is a full twisting tkatchev.

  • @drsarcasmus That is so true. Her full-twisting Tkatchev is rated a "G" in the current Code Of Points. And more than 20 years later...that's incredible and just showcases Elena's legacy.

  • @emmyjo720 Always enjoyed watching Shushunova on UB. Power, difficulty and perfect form!

  • That dismount just floats in the air and she lands so lightly

  • @emmyjo720

    And vault; she was the first to perform a 1.5 yurchenko.

  • Elena Shushunova is BRILLIANT!

  • Not only the legs together, a 'layed' out position during the flight......I see countless perform it almost in a 'seated' position emmyjo! even Shawn Johnsons is not great for that matter!

  • I know it is the best geinger I have seen too... Shushunova has moves named after on bars, beam and floor...

  • With all the top uneven bars workers jamming their routines with difficulty, I'm surprised no one at the uneven bars finals in Beijing utilized Shushunova's move. I think that last gymnast I saw performing it was Natalia Ziganchina and she had the same coach as Shushunova.

  • Nice body position on the geinger....her legs stayed together completely !! the best i've seen it performed in all fairness!!!
