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.

I forgot that she did 5 passes. That's very 2006 of her in 1996.

She is helped by the fact that after the first pass it's basically a Level 9 floor routine!

The quad started with this being the only 10.0 SV routine in the 1993 world floor finals. And she won the bronze medal.

I'm actually having a hard time figuring out how she earned a 10 SV

Bobrova was just a better landing on the full in pike for world gold.
Was she the first to do the 2 1/2 twist punch front in competition?

 

[tempest]

thank you, I was missing that the front full to punch front was worth .2... I thought it was .1

and Dudnik did the 2 1/2 twist punch front in 89

Chelle Stack did the 2.5 punch front in 1989 and I think Yulia Kut did it before that.

Kut performed the pass at least as early as 1987:



Lori Strong competed this at least as early as 1986:
