WOW...each and every one of her moves seems to exquisitely flow right into the next...AMAZING...

[eMthegymnast]

why does it seem like gymnastics was so much cleaner back then. i think that would be the only reason theyd bring compulseries back.

:55 pause there, her split in her back extension roll looks almost unatrual, but so beautiful, kind of reminds me of nastia!

I personally wish they'd bring back compulsories, but even without them, I still think the gymnasts of today could incorporate more dance into their floor exercises. It seems like nowadays it's just tumbling pass, pose, pose, leap, tumbling pass, leap, turn, pose, pose - instead of actual choreography. In the compulsories there was attitude, chaine, tour jete, arabesque, etc. I wish floor routines were still choreographed this way.

How did they have time to learn the compulsories routines and still practice their own routines?

WOW...Shannon is just so breath taking with her Gymnastics!! WOW!!

Wow - Strug scored higher than this???

@htownhomie06 Good question, not sure. Its pretty amazing that tourischeva actually gave her a 9.900.

[htownhomie06]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo i stand corrected. so wonder what it would've been in a later session?

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

@htownhomie06 I posted on your wall the video of the section of the compulsories which shows her routine and her score.

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

@htownhomie06 No, I am sorry but you are wrong. Look at the comments of Pod's floor exercise or watch the team compulsory sections of these Olympics (its on youtube), her score is a 9.850, I am 100% positive. STrug did get a 9.825.

[htownhomie06]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo actually, no, strug's 9.825 was highest of the compulsory round on this event. podkopayeva had the misfortune of competing in an earlier session. the scores are available online if you'd like to see for yourself.
