I am a Shushunova fan and I think she performed it as well as she could on floor and loved it because it was hers. I loved that Soviet team. And I loved her beam too and believe she was harshly marked but Strazheva was even better. However nobody did the floor like Silivas who made it her own.

Second to her were Bogi or Laschunova...

I enjoying the clips, seeing Baitova and Schevchenko's floor... I really liked Schevchenko she was rock solid and had a cheeky floor routine.

dont u miss the compulsory program?¿

Someone on here said that Shush;s comp routine was "exquisite" and the only one performed better was that of Silivas'. Please tell me I'm not the only person that thinks he/she's on crack with that statement.

Exactly..I was always wondering how shushunova got 9.9 on the floor.
