You are welcome! I am a HUGE Shapo fan and I observed the fact that her choreo was totally different from EF (almost unheard of for a gymnast at such an event to change her choreo so much) but I also noticed her number was different-also the Olympic Rings would be all over the arena. Shapo is a young lady here with her hair pulled back like at the Games-this is probably a lead-up event into the Games. She wore her hair in pigtails when she younger and she was less developed.

Wow--you're right. I didn't notice that her number was different. I was so suprised to see footage of her doing this routine other than the 80' Olympic Event finals. Almost all floor routines I have seen of Shapo are to "Toreador" from Carmen. I think I have only seen two done to this song. Wonder what competition this was from? Thanks again. Shaposhnikova is my all time favorite and I love seeing any footage of her.

Yes. This was prior to her injury.

Is that Mukhina sitting next to Shap at the very end, right before the cut to Davidova (you see her for a second when she leans forward)?

At 1:28 that is her coach, the wonderful Vladislav Rastorotsky, who also coached Ludmilia Tourischeva, Natalia Yurchenko and Albina Shishova to name a few:)

Sorry, 1980.

I believe this was the 1979 Moscow Test Event, a competition that is held in the same arena that the Olympics is to be held in. So, in this case, Moscow. I'm not sure though.
Either way, Natalia performed a brilliant exercise that probably should have scored higher than it got.

but its still moscow, right?
OK. I will post Shapo more.
