It still upsets me they didn’t let Roza compete. Such a shame they lied for her and Shannon! Shannon should have been gold AA. Gutsu didn’t qualify but Russia was shady
how was this a 9.925? the step forward on the first and last pass? hello? but also, this was back in the day, so the deductions weren’t as strict as they are now.
Call my crazy, but I kinda liked it because it really made us pay attention to the finer points of the vault. It helped us separate the good vaulters from the great ones. The problem was the judging often didn't get it right...
I hear you but the deductions were different in the 90s. When someone threw such difficult skills, sometimes deductions were less severe to make up the difference. Not saying it’s right, but it’s how it was at times.
I agree. It was a different time in gymnastics. Nowadays, gymnasts can win even if they fall if they have enough difficulty built into their routines. Back then, small steps meant bigger deductions. Athletes needed to play it safe to maintain decent scores. Athletes that went for difficulty were not as rewarded by the code but the judges would give them the benefit of the doubt if difficulty was high by boosting the scores against gymnasts with a more conservative but neatly executed routine. The only exception was kyu Yan Yan in 97. After she did a clean full on the beam, she didn't win the gold, even though her routine was far more difficult than everyone else's in the final. This controversy led to the new scoring system, which encouraged athletes to shoot for difficulty but also taking into account execution. This led to more balance in the sport because small steps don't translate into major deductions, and gymnasts can compensate for mistakes by presenting harder skills.
Always amazed by the mental discipline needed to complete a routine after you fall off right at the beginning.
Boginskia is the best!!
Magnífico ❤
Galieva floor and Zmeskal’s second vault were the highlights.
I love Wendy Bruce’s Yurchenko-full.

That and they blatantly didn’t deduct appropriately
There was things the scoring was both more lenient and strict on compared to today.
Everyone was basically doing the same vault
That’s the early 90s for you

And there was an emphasis and necessity to stick the landing!!!
@worldartgym I would take some of the full twisting yurchenkos from this era over some of the way harder vaults we see these days with wild landings.
It was more exciting when a simple hop was a big deal rather than expected
Shannon consistently over scored with all the bobbles and short landings. Plus she has zero amplitude on her difficult skills.
