  • UGH WOW. she's amazing!!!

    is this named after her?? i think she was able to do in laid out but for some reason couldn't land it. i think she had to pike down though because she was about to go off the beam.

    part of me thinks khorkina woudl have thrown some crazy skills if she was a bit shorter. her height was a blessing and a curse.

  • Amazing, I have never seen her land this in competition. She does that skill beautifully. I think the judges would give it the layout. I don't think this skill would be named after her because she never even competed it at a Worlds or Olympics. It's amazing to think someone so tall and lanky could produce such powerful gymnastics.

  • @ItsNastiaFan101 Which competition is this in?

  • please can you post the whole routine

  • This is incredible. She proves that artistry and difficulty can be one in the same.

  • I used to have this clip downloaded and I watched it all the time. Friggen amazing. Go Khorkina! - Flipside ;)

  • I think it's more a pike, but still amazing for her height

  • dam i cant even do that on flat ground.... and she does it on a balance beam!!

  • where can i find the full version of this routine?

  • I bet people are watching this and are like "dang I thought it was cool when I did that OFF the beam"....

  • @TsubasaDreams I really loved that 04 connection. She doesn't seem as flexible which is crazy because she had the best switch ring ever in 08! I think Cheng won't have a problem with the Cheng because her Lopez looks really easy. However, the DTYs that I've seen from her seem to be a bit of a struggle which is also crazy because no one ever second-guessed if her Amanars were fully rotated. In 2010, I really saw a lack of leadership. Cheng was great like that. I wonder if she would ever coach.
