It's sad. She was like the Anna Pavlova of her day. So beautiful to watch, but would make mistakes when it counted most for her:/

The FIG should really just watch this beam final and design the next code of points around it.

No wonder she had back problems with that mount, I absolutely love it though.

[BarbiiDollMe]

This whole thing was beautiful and she didnt wiggle like she about to fall off so that was a amazing job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maaaan, this was 20 years ago..mindblowing! and I love Kathy's commentary. tim, elfie, and al just annoy me to no end.

Poor Bo ALWAYS seemed to have problem on beam when it mattered- otherwise- she was the best I ever saw on this event. Agree with all the pro Kathy Johnson comments- wish it was her and Bart on NBC/Olympics- Tim and Elfie just aren't very good....and Elfie's never won anything- Kathy's a World and Olympic medalist- and American- shouldn't American TV have American analysts???

@Listaday yeah, she is so positive and informative at the same time. I like her. That and her voice doesn't make me want to rip my ears out.

@bernardmvella It's one of my favorites. Love the Teza too. The landing's the only difference (obviousy).

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 None of her videos really have a good angle to show off the Yang Bo leap, really annoys me, it's one of the best BB skills to be honest.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@agators212 I didn't care for Karpenko either. The vault table is of course much better than the horse. Although now we're seeing way too many Amanars and DTYs. I agree, they should've restarted but the Olympics was only a certain amount of days and they couldn't change the schedule a bit even though those gymnasts were training their whole lives for that one moment.

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 karpenko, no a huge fan of hers because she was so robotic with her movements, had that chance to win...and it just seemed like she tripped and fell. khorki would have been the strongest had the vault not been screwed up. although i do like the vault table we have now. raducan would have been close behind.

they should have restarted the entire competition once they learned that it was at the incorrect hieght

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@agators212 China's not consistent and they don't have the difficulty right now. This is definately Russia's high since 2000 (even though they were pretty good in 2004). I don't know if Ukraine will ever have that standout =/. Ostapenko was their hero, now he's gone from Ukraine. I still don't understand what happened to Karpenko... That was so strange.... Sorry, but Khorki would've won 2000 if the vault wasn't messed up, haha.
