  • Vibrance, musicality, well-contained athleticism and the characteristic supple movements of Natalia Shaposhnikova!

  • So would I!!! Believe me, when I said she hyperextends her leaps, I meant it as a GOOD thing!!! I hate seeing some of the poor excuses which pass as "ring leaps", "switch ring leaps" and "split leaps" these days:(I also hate to see sheep jumps where the feet dont touch the head. That should be a deduction, as the element requires that the feet touch at least the hair, and I am going off topic now........lol.........

  • MUY BUENA EJECUCION.

  • In 1992, gymnasts were only completing a 1 1/2 twist into a double twist, much less into a double pike. Amazing Natalia did this in 1980.

  • 9.90 and a bronze medal in the last performance by Natalia. After Moscow Games, she did not compete any more, at the age of 19.

  • @elamantebilingue That would have left Mary-Lou's vault in the dust without a 10...I remember Yurchenko vaulting her vault in 1983 when she won the WC AA, she also started the Yurchenko mount on to the beam too.

  • I had to run over and watch this Shapo Fx AGAIN because I just saw Beth Tweddle's 2011 Euro FX, My eyes!!! Shapo will restore the BALANCE that is supposed to be ARTISTIC gymnastics!! :)

  • @ralucagymnast Hyper extending leaps can be a good thing (such as in her case), however it can also show a lack of control (such as Nastia who has an inability to control her long legs). It takes true talent to hit a perfect 180 (such as yang bo), nothing less, nothing more.

  • Very stylish performance. Reminds 80s-era greatly!!!

  • I"m glad they final got rid of the piano and allowed the girls to use a recording!

  • This music remind me of something from Final Fantasy 4.
