It was a fan in the audience. The woman had been bending over reading the official program, and she lifted her head just has Daniela's hair walked by. Understandable reaction.

Its good to see them starting from the high bar and then going to the low bar. you hardley see it anymore. now you see them go over the low bar to the high bar. And why dont any of the gymnast do the 1.5 bail like lori strong? ive never seen it till now.ANY BODY KNOW WHY?

[snowfallspink36]

On the bars did they not have to do inverted swings?

Amazing competiition. I remember watching it. Silivas should have won the gold. She was fantastic!

From certain angles when the camera is on her face, Laschenova sure reminds me of Alexandra Marinescu. Anybody else think so?

Ola, GYMNANGELS, sou colecionador de videos de ginástica, e gostaria de saber como poderíamos trocar arquivos em alta qualidade.

Possuo as séries finais e All-Around e Event Finals das Olimpíadas de 1976 e 1980, mais o Event Finals das Olimpíadas de 1984.

Grato.

E bom trabalho pelo upload dos videos. xD

Does anybody know if there is a deduction for waving your arms around , fighting to stick a landing? I have always wondered that, i know when i was an elite gymnast in 1998-99, my coaches always told me that there is a deduction for waving your arms around, whether or not you stick the landing. I have been watching some of these clips, and i have seen some fighting for the landings, but they still get a perfect score? How is that possible?

That, Ksenia Semenova, is what a Deltchev is supposed to look like :)

i am really disapointed !! I had never seen anyone do the 11/2 swing over to the low bar, and i was an elite gymnast in 1998 and that was the skill i was working on before i shattered both of my ankles on a full in on floor, i had actually planned to compete in the next national meet, and i thougt it had never been competed! well i guess that is how it goes though!

Does anybody know who was on floor when Daniela was on bars - she was using a different version of the same music Simona Amanar used in Atlanta.

1. I would have just given Silivas the gold when she arrived at the airport. Regardless of anything, she was just hands down, the best gymnast in the world at that time.

2. For as much flack as they catch, these gymnasts had to be so much stronger on bars because it was imposiible to get the swing generated these days..and some of them are doing simultaneous releases after just a kip or giant.
