  • The heads of the sport-the F.I.G-did not remove compulsory exercises because they 'realized, the comps are void of purpose'. The F.I.G. removed them from the gymnastic program because they were not COST EFFECTIVE television-wise. And also it was more expensive for gymnasts' parents in many countries-especially the poorer countries. Otherwise-compulsories would still be around. And the sport has suffered for it aesthetically.

  • u compare this 2 her 1992 exercise in barcelona and u really see how she's matured & improved her technique. the judges are doing 2day's athlete's a disservice by eliminating compulsory exercises and allowing them 2 get by on optionals only with bad technique.

  • She had to rush the last pass to finish on time, thats where she lost .1

  • @chrissyjoy08 No, every country did the same exact routine. So this routine right here that Dom is doing every female gymnast at the Olympics did.

  • @Mikizzle15 Did every single team (every country) have to do the same one, or could each team choreograph their own, and of course each girl on that team has to do it the same?

  • Wow. she is great. I live in Maryland so Ive meet Dominique Dawes about a million times. She has held mutliple clinics at my gym. She is really nice

  • @Mikizzle15 - errrrrr thats not really using upper body strength Mikizzle.......im sure you could do it !

  • @audie83 why was it more expensive for gymnasts' parents?

  • @svetaswan No she was just smaller so the bow was less pronounced..but it's always been there

  • Dom may not have had the lines that ppl crave, but she def had sum1 there telling her how to sell a fx routine..the presentation she showed was tuly wonderful..

  • @mmoran3 Totally agree. If the gymnasts now a days had compulsory, they would struggle so bad. I miss compulsories personally. 

  • @htownhomie06 i agree ,,, the comp seperates the hard workers from the flashers
