So I know everyone goes on about Podkopayeva’s compulsory floor (yes, I do too), but today I stumbled across this and I actually think Mo might have been just as good:
The only thing I don’t see is the kick-out of the tuck front in the opening line. Otherwise, I really can’t fault it?
Watching routines like this makes me love the idea of bringing compulsories back. Just the quality of the extension, movement, and every single flicker being perfectly in time with the music.
Aly Raisman would have literally never made elite if compulsories were still around. Or, maybe she would have, but she would have been a better gymnast for it.
I know we have this debate ad nauseum but I wonder whether compulsories at the FIG level should be brought back (not just at the domestic level for certain countries).
