  • No I think it was 7.85 she got, she came last though, But in fairness she was ill, she had taking pain medication for her injured back on an empty stomach. But she redeemed this routine by winning gold in 1994.

  • still great,a piked full in dismount is amazing.

  • :( poor girl......i still love her though :*

    how old was she???

  • Ooooo Rough....

  • @jeterlover03 You're right, there are several types of somersaults. The commentator said "two straight-back somersaults." This is a British broadcast so what we would call a "layout" in the States, they refer to as "straight back." Somersault is a very generic term, layout or "straight back" tells us what type.

  • That was still great! But its hard to keep your balance after falling like that. After you fall once, the rest of the routine isn't as good.

  • @jeterlover03 yes you can, it is a very basic name for them, at this time though there weren't many backwards tumbling skills other than back handsprings and layouts

  • @gymnasticsloverxoxo wow...never heard of that. How does that work out? You could call a dozen different stunts "somersaults". LOL

  • She could see by her face at the beginning she really did not want to do this.

  • @jeterlover03 They were often referred to as back somersaults.

  • I'm just your average basic gymnastics fan AND I know that the commentator sounded like a moron. She called the two layouts, two back somersaults...wtf?
