well everyone talking about how dominant the US is nowadays, but I would say in 2005 they were even more dominant taking every women title except for vault and a couple of silver medals as well. Nastia is great here!!!
In London I think she felt angry and betrayed because it was the Karolys (Bela and Marta) who encouraged Aly's coach to submit an inquiry, which was accepted, tied with Cata, beating her to 4th place.
I’m not gonna lie- to see Ponors reaction- after kicking the Americans butts a year earlier in Athens- this was sweet! I love Catalina, but she knew the competition would be fierce from the Americans.
Well, the 2 back layouts don't give much in the CoP, and I think she said once in an interview that she was too tall or something, that would explain why in 2007 and maybe early 2008 she would add a back pike to her layout
@algae787 and she did it extremely well at the 2006 pacific alliance. Anyway, it would no have scored a 9.75-9.8 had she done a 2 1/2, because her start value would have dropped by a tenth, so she still most likely would have scored in the 9.6 range.
RE: Catalina.... Remember, ladies, those cameras are EVERYWHERE!. You're not going to look like a good sport if you give The Death Stare to all the girls who beat you out. If you have to look bad on camera, pick your nose or something, but at least keep your expression neutral.
@adla0nastia Pretty perfect until the dismount. That 3/1 was never a good idea. The best she ever did it was 2006 Nats. That routine would have scored 9.75-9.80 with a 2.5 dismount.
Because Chellsie Memmel had form problems on literally every single skill - bent legs, flexed feet, lack of 180, low chest. Nastia is textbook on every skill except for the dismount.

Nastia is great here!!!
Well now everything including vaults
Lol at catalina ponors face......the shade is real.....she gave this same look to aly raisman in London when she tied with her on beam
LOL she did the same thing at the beam final in athens, when Carly finished her routine she and Eremia didnt even clapped
In London she was sad.

The Onodi+wolf was actually connected- I'd gotten so used to it not being!
1:37 "If looks could kill" lol true
who was that ice queen?
@@PianoWorks1 Catalina Ponor (Romania)
Jealous that she got beaten by a 15 yr old lol
that triple is scary! probably contributed to her ankle injuries
I love her switch leap to switch side straddle - wish she kept that in later routines!
Yeah much between than the switch ring she later added lol.
URGH! I wish she could bring back those 3 layout step outs they were gorgeous!!!
Yup. Textbook down to the toes. Even in slow motion.
Cata's stank face, priceless.
It is EVERYTHING. One of my favorite things in the history of gymnastics. 🙏🏽
Hahaha you are hilarious, and mine too.
I’m not gonna lie- to see Ponors reaction- after kicking the Americans butts a year earlier in Athens- this was sweet! I love Catalina, but she knew the competition would be fierce from the Americans.
Yes, she did. She also won gold on BB in 2007.
I think that Nastia is great from 2005 to 2012 and was really good in 2008 winning the all around she is great
Idk why but Nastia always looked so tired and exhausted in 2005
I defy anybody to find a better backhandspring step-out to two layout step outs. Dynamic, high and graceful.
I have one word/name: Komova.
Yes, on the 40% chance she doesn’t fall
Jay Petrova lmao she was actually really consistent on her loso series
K O M O V A
komova is infinitely better than nastia.
Валера браво❤
Ooh Catalina did not want to hear it.
The triple twist wasnt even completed 😂

shes amazing
I loved. Beautiful.
Her Onodi!

I do wish she would bring back 2 layouts - but sorry, she never did 3...
Did she win gold?
Oui papi
1:34 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ikr? My favorite thing ever!

Catalina Ponor 1:36
Is her d score here higher than in 2008.
thats not called flapping, thats called call grace
@blueyesDTX no, that was catalina ponor.
Yep I think she was best around 2005. After the injury her form was just terrible!
How was that a nasty look?
i am real (:
Don't see it....
Que asqueroso Robo! El Oro era de Melmem
she was so much better before Beijing
not at all
and how the hell did nastia win given her poor landing???? tht is not right

Nastia is textbook on every skill except for the dismount.
@@emmsy9295 I clearly paid too much attention to what the commentators were saying in that case lol
OMG ENOUGH OF 'THE LINES' TALK!!!!!!!
She fills in too much gap with really excessive annoying arm flapping. Also, she doesn't do enough flips. It's all twists.
Huh? Or did you mistake this for a floor video?
HA! You think Liukin's graceful and yet you think Komova flaps? Get real...
