OMG, Shannon, move your mouse out of the center of the screen. You actually watch videos like that???

More seriously--fun to see!

Wow a DTY from Bogi

I’ll never forget my disappointment that Lysenko didn’t get a bump for doing it in Barcelona.

1989, on the old vault, with no yurchenko mat. Insane. All hail Queen Bogi.

The first group of gymnasts to do the DTY were amazing. Everything about that is hard. The board is hard, the horse is hard, the mats are hard. The training footage of Gurova shows her doing it on a vault that has a thick metal chain between the legs!

HOLY. CRAP. I never knew she did one.

Bogi was massively f*cked over by her growth spurt. Prior to that, she had serious difficulty

Wow. It's just WAG Judge Hatred™, it seems? Absolutely no clue. I had it at 8.8 as well, and that was while TRYING to get down to 8.3 or 8.4

Don't forget to deduct .5 for the abomination that is the switch ring 1/2

I always wondered if i'd ever see Olga's double back in high quality , and found it here .

She did a bit, in the AA anyway. I can't imagine an FTY with that knee bend and distance would've got a 9.962. But I'll forever be pissed off they didn't throw her the 10 in optionals!

Vault judging was truly bizarre in a lot of ways in Barcelona. They showed a complete inability to separate and rank the top vaults correctly. I understand that was mostly caused by the fact that the sport had outgrown the code at that point, but it was still counterproductive the way many vaults were judged.

Yes, I have some sympathy for the ridiculous parameters they had to work within, but even then there are some decisions worthy of criticism.

Relatedly, I've often wondered what they might've done with Gutsu's second vault had they been given the opportunity.
