"thank you for showing up. here's a 10."

[GYMANGELS]

i know! a few too many 10's i think! great comp though!

[theelegend75]

thank you for posting this. i still like the gymnastics in those old days more than todays! there were more artistic and fun to watch. i would give you ten on this, but i'm allowed only five! :)

[nicksline]

This commentator is so odd. He doesn't seem to be at all excited by Oksana doing a triple twist punch front when, if i'm correct, that is the first time that had EVER been done. He was so wrapped up in Dobre he couldn't see how amazing a lot of the other gymnasts were.

That landing from dismond from silivas, she just stick it cold, Elena she so butch on beam when she did the twisting Korbut she just shakes the whole beam she such a man

I still cannot understand how Omelianchik did not make the 1988 Olympic team. Yes she was slightly past her absolute prime of 1985-6 but come on! How could they not include her!

[garyj79]

@nicksline - like he couldnt see the split legs in form on vault for Dobre and Silivas? "beautiful" "beautiful",

[37tonya]

It is great seeing all the high scores. I didn't start watching gymnastics regularly until 1990 when Kimbo and Shannon started competing. I watched some of Brandy Johnson's and MLR but not as much.

I don't know if it's just me, but with the way they were handing out 10s in this competition it just seems like it completely took away the excitement of someone scoring a 10. All of the 10s given were for great routines but some of them had way obvious errors. I would feel weird scoring a 10 if I took a step or had an obvious mistake.

[dmann3g]

@nicksline yea, he was doing a bit too much w Dobre

[GymFloozie]

Daniela is lucky that with that horrid mistake on bars the judges didn't give her a 10.

[BlackSatechi]

Dobre was good, and fluid yes. But I felt as though she almost looked mushy in the legs. That tension and snap of the legs in layouts made Silivas a more interesting, and imo, better beam-worker. Shushunova wasn't built for beam but even she was more than capable of being fluid on it.

[emmyjo720]

I agree ... John Taylor talks as though nobody was graceful on beam before..Dobre was good, have difficulty but nothing was new.. Silivas was more exciting to watch on beam, even with errors.. Was she not graceful, did she not use the beam fluidly etc?
