horrible form. Almost as bad as Milo! thank God for the new code. All it needs is some tweeking to somehow reward artistry and gymnastics will be healed. No more of this crappy gymnastics that somehow wound up on the medal stand.

So sad to see Milo walk away w this one...Dawes should've been the 93 beam champ!!!

@SandersBron Really? It basically looked the same as the Atlanta Olympic routine and surely she had a 10 SV by then!
-
@SandersBron There are special start value rules just for event finals to have a 10 start value. I believe one of them might have been a D or higher mount which Dawes did not have.

@SandersBron In event finals there were special requirements in the COP. I think one of those was a D or higher mount to have a 10 SV and Dawes did not have it.

the 93-96 cycle is when they started changing the code of points 2 radically. it's ironic that under the old system, i'd agree Milo was cleaner and deserved a great score. but under the code used 4 this cycle, i thought the major factor was helping those who had harder sets be given bonus 4 higher degree of difficulty? this was clearly a title Dawes deserved outright.
I prefer Dominique's rountine to Lavinia Milosovici's. Dominique finished with a silver behind her, but Dominique had more difficulty and flair. I guess Lavinia's routine was considered more cleanly done.
