Horrible camera angles! That mount rocked and hardly anybody would know what it was if they weren't fans already. I love this routine.

How did this not score a 10? Oh, yes, I almost forgot, it incurred the "Bulgarian Deduction." The Bulgarians always had the most innovative floor routines but were scored too low.

WOW that's all that i can say. Best floor routine i've ever seen from her or anyone. I'm so honored to have her as a coach. <3

@tedsler IMO I sort of enjoy that she cowboyed he legs like that, it was sort of her personal style and way of doing them (even though she would have been killed by today's standards for doing that).

this routine was soo good, i lov it still after all these years, but she must seriously have had the worst tucked somis at the time...

Don't take me wrong, I love Mitova and her gymnastics, just the legs could have been a lot more together for the rebounds :))

[tedsler]

i love this routine, still one of my favs 17 years later :))

Worst cowboy might belong to Bogi - much as I liked her. Laschenova had some serious cowboy going on too.

And this is why she is my favorite FX worker,

The camera angles were fine, it showcased how she was able to cheat the skills to get them around. Mitova had, probably, the WORST cowboy on her saltoes in gymnastics, period. Still a beautiful routine, and she has a nice presence.
