I really don't think that this was the best performance of this routine. She doesn't hold any positions, seems a little nervous. I love Lilia, but I don't think she looked "sure" or even "confident." here. But overall, I think that she was the best compulsory performer.

@Chuckie1028 Lacked extension? What are you talking about? Lilia was renowned for her locked out leg, upper body and arm extension and textbook toe point. Where do you see a lack of extension? She had none.

John Tesh had a serious fetish about injuries or something every other routine he mentions some horrible thing that's happened to these young women makes me wonder why he was replaced with Al? Lol

@geishasecrets check your spelling.
-
This was great! My only nit pick is that she didn't seem to flow as much as miller to me, miller seemed more comfortable with her routine.

@faeryquene Since its on a public forum, that makes it my business as well as anyone else's who watches the clip. Grow the fuck up and stop bitching already, every single comment you've made has been criticizing either the athlete or the commentators, get over it or shut the fuck up and stop watching.

@tmwalkerm Too late to mute anything this late in the game. Anyway it's none of your business.
-
@faeryquene Obviously it doesn't mean anything to you, but some people who followed Moceanu during the trials and her injuries, they might have wanted to know what came of her tests and how that landed her on the team. Simple solution, you don't like what he has to say, hit the mute button.

I think what Lilia had going for her was her confidence on beam, she was very aggressive and sure every element. Little errors here and there, but she had great flow. The other gymnasts were VERY conservative, and you can see them thinking hard through every skill. Lilia made it look like a performance, she was more convincing.
AS for Moceanu, she had an error on her turn and didn't stick the dismount.

This is perhaps my favorite compulsory beam routine of 1996. Other favorites are Miller, Moceanu, Marinescu, Mo Huilan. Those ladies were fearless and looked relaxed up there-to me they did not look tight, scared, and fearful like most of the others did who also looked like they were praying there way through the routine, just hoping to get to the end without falling off.
