Henrietta Onodi 1990 GwG EF BB

Henrietta Ónodi HUN
1990 Goodwill Games, event finals - balance beam
9.812 7th place

Beam was probably Heni's weakest event but she did some nice gymnastics despite that. The move she does at 0:27 is named after her (although Olga Mostepanova did it first). I think it's one of the prettiest skills on beam. I love that handstand she does too. The triple twist dismount she performs here was a rare one in the 1990s.

@ralucagymnast Yeah When you watch old Comps from late 80's and early 90's The British commentators always call it "the mostepanova" when Onodi does it

Olga actually performed the backhandspring halftwist walkover out in the 1983 World Championships, but it wasnt named after her because she didnt submit it. Its a shame, as it was her move.

It's interesting that in Romania I hear sports commentators mentioning "the Mostepanova" like it's named after Olga. But in fact, it couldn't have been, as she wasn't in any Olympics because of the boycott. I also remember Onodi very vividly, although I was only a child back then.

Olessia Dudnik did a triple twist dismount at the 1989 Worlds (and elsewhere).
