Random vid thread

It would seem that Macy ended up at Texas Dreams because her father asked Martha to recommend a gym that could take her further.

This seemed like a good thread to share, YouTube recommendations brought me back to one of my all time favourite floor musics (from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Would love to see this reused) and an overall underappreciated routine.

I feel like that choreography and the music cut doesn’t do Pictures any justice…

I really like the music! For the most part I preferred floor music in the 2000s though when using only one song (maybe two at most that flow well together) was the norm & there were less random vocals.

The start beep/sound for that routine is nostalgic by itself.

I have always wanted to know what that noise is and I miss it as it was so them. It first showed up in 2005 and I think was being phased out after Bellu returned in 2010. It sounds a lot like Zamo's 2005 music

I mean the cut is ok, the choreo is mostly ignoring whatever's going on except in the "look I'm doing a weird pose on the floor, so you know it's ARTISTRY" portion of the exercise.

Produnova could rock this shit tho

This all led me to revisit my favourite mash-up music that makes no sense yet it worked for me (a 2.5 into a tucked rudi helps of course)



Big shoutout to whoever edited this music cutting wherever the fuck they felt like between 1:24 and 1:30. Bars are for LOSAHS

I’ve always liked this music as well, despite it being a tad odd. What would her first pass be worth in the current COP?

Notable how restrained and softly spoken Still is here.

oooooooh Mitch Fenner too.

It'd be a C-C-B so I'm guessing nothing. When she did it it was C-C-C, that's the whole reason she had it in then took it out for 2007

She was actually briefly doing this pass with a tucked Rudi at the beginning of 2007, but her SV got ripped apart as they didn't seem to know you can't do the same element in two different passes (front layout full) for CV. Still, 8 C+ rated acro in one routine is nuts.

The 2006 music was done by the same choreographer who did all of the 2005-10 routines. His choreo was never good but I liked most of his music

I guess she might have been able to do 1.5-full-LO Rudi, that'd have been cool

I totally think she could have. That was a very common pass in men's gymnastics for a long time. They even called it "the magic pass" because it was worth like 0.5 bonus in the 2001-2005 code.

Just remembered a really funny example of technically legal coaching in the middle of a routine.

Steliana wobbles in the middle of her dance series and doesn't do a backup, and on the judges' camera angle you can see the head coach immediately runs to the other coach to discuss. Then he runs over to a gymnast to get her to start screaming at her 3-5 times to repeat it, which she does just before dismounting. During the broadcast replay Steliana says "I heard, thank you" while waiting for the score

Obviously no rules broken as it was an athlete yelling, but I wonder how FIG would react to this these days if it was in a language they understood lmao
