Why is the music different for the two compulsory routines?
-
To be honest, the most complex and powerful program was a Maxi Gnauk of the GDR. But the judges decided otherwise ...
But at the last world championships Nellie Kim diligently stifles Russian gymnasts, helping American women. I do not like it!

nadia ! BEST !!!!!!!

nadia fierce ! nelli's landing were big fat mistakes, it's very clearly to see those big FAT mistakes,come on now nadia floor routine is better and stronger ,Nelli kim landed so hard that she almost put hole on the floor , hands up for the queen of gymnastics NADIA!

@ahrensgay How could she score so highly with such obvious errors; after her double twist she takes a deep lunging step backwards, and on the doubleback dismount she landed very deeply indeed. Nadia was definitely cheated out of a sole gold medal, she should never have had to share first place with Nelli:(

Seriously her compulsory floor routine would bring a tear to a glass eye; its so beautiful, moving, and downright perfect; 9.95? hmmm its controversial. The ONLY area for deduction I can see is on 0.27 she doesnt quite hit a full split on her split jump following the back handspring, but thats being nitpicky. Every other split position is taken to the maximum amplitude. Breathtakingly exquisitely beautiful. Young gymnasts, take note;)

kim does not have the elegant and captivating finish as nadia...

Nelli kim was far better than Nadia. She was technically better and way more female movements as meant to be in gymnastics. The Sovjets had a hard time in cold war sports. But still they were soooooo the best.

Was this Nelli Kim's birthday? 9.95? What a gift!!!!!

Nadia was better than Kim! Kim was good but she made some small mistakes. She was lucky to compete in Moskow!
Nadia rocks!
