Historical WAG COP Project: 1993-1996 Edition

[Concorde]

While we’re now blessed to have electronic copies of previous COPs online, the majority of these are the original versions. As such, much of the evolution of a COP over a quadrennium is not contained within them. With resources going offline (website crashes, people moving onto other interests, etc.), I feel some of this knowledge is beginning to become lost. To fill the void, I have started aggregating knowledge that I have accumulated over the years, and to the extent possible, I am including copies of source documents. Eventually, I also hope to post evaluations of routines.

First up is the 1993 - 1996 COP. Any feedback or questions is welcome!

Long live the introduction of the front full punch front as a legitimate elite World medal-winning tumbling pass on floor exercise

It’s like the kovacs on HB… it was so cool until everyone did it! I do love that only 1 FX champ dismounted with a front full when a full-in was the same! Not a huge fan of Kui yuanyuan as an FX champ

By far the easiest floor routine to win a world title since maybe the 70s, at least in our contemporary understanding of difficulty.
